In days gone by people alerted their presence at the front door by using a door knocker to knock on the door. As time went on electric doorbells were invented and they were fixed to the electric circuit of the house with the wiring passing through the walls of the house. In this age of high technology the wireless doorbell has made an appearance. The wireless doorbell transmits signals from the bell to the receiver in the house.

One of the main advantages of the wireless doorbell is that it could be easily fitted. There is no need for electricians,The wireless doorbell can be a really convenient item Articles who will charge exorbitant rates, to come to fix the wireless doorbell. It has only to be screwed on and screwed off when you leave the premises and then fix it on again in the new location. This system is ideal for many home dwellers who don’t own their homes because now when they need a bell all they need to do is fix a wireless doorbell without the hassle and bother of calling in a technician to fix it. This will also suit the owner of the house who will appreciate that the walls of his house remain undamaged.

Some wireless doorbell models have multiple receivers. This type of wireless doorbell is ideal because the receivers could be fitted in areas most used so that no one can go without hearing the bell at all times.

With all the advantages of the wireless doorbell, it has its share of disadvantages too. The wireless doorbell and the receiver will only function within a certain range. Should the house be large or if it has multiple storeys then the more expensive type of wireless doorbell will have to be sourced.

Further more , the wireless doorbell operates on a frequency common to most wireless devices. In such instances there is bound to be plenty of interference and the receiver may be chiming even though the bell has not been pressed.

If the wireless doorbell operates only on a battery power then its output is dependent upon the strength of the battery, as the battery weakens so will the sound of the doorbell. However this problem will not arise if the receiver could be fitted to a power socket.

All things said and done, there is a choice to be made. The wireless doorbell may not be all that good looking and it may look ridiculous fixed next to an imposing door of an expensive house. Will convenience win over an aesthetic sense?
