Looking at wireless ones and want 3 receivers. Does anyone have experience of any of these brands (even for non doorbell related purchases) would be very grateful!
Physen
Bitiwend
Tecknet
Dynamic sounds

Thanks

Just get a Ring doorbell, they are amazing.

They're awful.

They ring outside as well as inside and make a noise whenever anyone opens and closes the door.

I was driven slowly mad by my neighbours ring doorbell during lockdown. I don't need to know every time their sodding door opens to let the dog out.

I've got 2 Tecknet doorbells and they're fine, they do what they're supposed to.

Thanks BridgetInHerBravery that's good to know. Thanks all. My budget is £40 so suspect it doesn't run to a ring doorbell!

We have Byron BY series, when parts break you can just add new ones. We have the doorbells and have plug in receivers around the house.

We have loads of smart devices but I don't understand the appeal of smart doorbells - what's the benefit of them?

When you are out and away from home and someone rings at the door, you can see on your phone who it is and speak to them - eg say Put the parcel in the porch or get the hell off my lawn or why are you bringing another woman into the house.

Most of them have sensors to automatically record when someone approaches them so are essentially CCTV and provide security.

Ah right - we are hardly ever all out so I guess there's not a lot point in us having one.
