A doorbell is the safest way to alert the owner of the presence of a visitor at the entrance to their home. In the past, we used wired doorbells whose installation required a lot of maneuvering to connect the wires. Nowadays, this wired doorbell tends to give way to the wireless doorbell which offers many more advantages and simplicity.
