If someone isn't at home to answer the door when the bell rings, having this handy DoorBot door bell lets users answer the door away from home using their smartphones. An ingenuous concept, the DoorBot uses a wireless connection to let home owners safely see who's at the door and answer if they wish.

The DoorBot is a door bell designed to be a tiny, unnoticeable addition to any house door. Fitting snugly in the spot where a conventional door bell would go, the DoorBot has a [tiny camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqara-g410) located inside the gizmo. When someone knocks on your door and no one is physically home to answer, DoorBot calls your smartphone and uses the video camera and the [DoorBot app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecobee-google-home) to show who is at your doorstep.
