Video doorbell with camera: How to protect your front door and your property – especially during the holiday season

Whether it's summer vacation or a long weekend, your home remains unguarded when you're away. Burglaries are on the rise during this time of year. Front doors, front gardens, and entrances are particularly frequently affected. With a modern video doorbell with a camera, you can keep an eye on your entrance area at all times – conveniently via an app.

Why is a video doorbell useful?

A smart doorbell with a camera combines multiple security features in one device: live video, intercom, motion detection, and recording. This makes it the ideal addition to any single-family home or property.

1. Live video surveillance – anytime via app

With a Wi-Fi video doorbell, you can access a live view of your front door from your smartphone at any time. This way, you can check who's at your door, even from vacation or the office.

2. Intercom function – even from a distance

A visitor rings the doorbell? No problem: With the integrated intercom, you can communicate directly via your mobile phone – whether you're at home or on the go. This way, you can give instructions to delivery people, for example, or deter unwanted guests.

3. Motion detection with push notification

Motion detection provides additional security: You'll receive an immediate notification when someone approaches your front door—even if the doorbell hasn't been rung. This way, you're always informed about what's happening on your property.

4. Video recording for later review

All events can be automatically saved as videos. This is especially helpful if you want to reconstruct what happened later—for example, in the event of an attempted break-in or disputes with service providers.

5. Easy control via smartphone

Control is conveniently done via an app. You have access to:

• Live video

• Two-way audio

• records

• Motion detection and notification settings

Even more security with additional surveillance cameras

A video doorbell covers the entrance area – for complete video surveillance around the house, we recommend additional smart surveillance cameras.

The perfect complement: Oculus Pro and Apollo 2

With the Oculus Pro and Apollo 2 models from Weber Protect, you not only secure your front door, but also:

• driveways

• backyards

• Side entrances

• Garden areas

Both cameras offer:

• Ultra-sharp video quality (Full HD / 4K)

• Night vision for reliable surveillance in the dark

• Intelligent motion detection with real-time notifications

• Weatherproof construction for outdoor use

• Access and control via the Weber Protect app

Combined with a video doorbell, this creates a powerful, intelligent security system for your home.

Conclusion: How to keep an eye on your home – even on vacation

A video doorbell with a camera and app gives you full control over your front door at all times. It deters burglars, enables direct communication, and records important events.

You can get even more protection with additional surveillance cameras such as the Oculus Pro or Apollo 2 – ideal for comprehensive monitoring of your property.
