I’m intrigued by devices that you let you accomplish tasks that
normally require your presence through a smartphone from anywhere in the
world. Like the Nest thermostat that lets you adjust the temperature in your home or the Scanomat TopBrewer
coffee maker that can make a latte for you, all through your iPhone. So
Skybell, a doorbell with a built-in camera that will let you see and
speak to whomever is at your front door, caught my eye and its companion
iPhone app is now available in the App Store.
The SkyBell Doorbell app can automatically notify you when
the SkyBell doorbell device senses motion at your front door or if
someone rings the doorbell. Through the app, you can hear or speak to
anyone there or simply pull up the live video feed if you just want to
see what’s going on. Here’s the promo video showing SkyBell in action
Skybell was first publicized through Indiegogo last fall where its
creators started a campaign to raise funds to manufacture it. The
project easily surpassed its funding goal though it seems to be
experiencing the manufacturing and delivery delays common to new
products with crowd-sourced funding. However, the appearance of the SkyBell Doorbell companion app in Apple’s App Store is surely a welcome sign for those who have ordered the product.
The SkyBell Doorbell app is free and works only with the
SkyBell smart doorbell, which will set you back $199 unless you managed
to order a discounted one through the Indiegogo campaign last year. You
can order a SkyBell doorbell directly from the SkyBell site or through Amazon. If you get one, let us know how it works!s
