# Smart Home Entrances August's Doorbell Cam and Smart Keypad Fleshes Out the Company's Smart Lock By Meghan Young | Published 2016-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbell-cam-and-smart-keypad References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/28/11317212/august-doorbell-cam-smart-keypad-release-date-hands-on) August has recently released two new products, the Doorbell Cam and Smart Keypad. These two additions are meant to round out the functions of the company's [smart lock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwikset-aura-reach-smart-lock), which allows you to leave your keys at home and open your deadbolt with a smartphone. The Doorbell Cam now lets you chat with whoever is outside the door to determine whether you want to invite them in while the Smart Keypad acts as added insurance to getting in at all. Together, the Smart Lock, Doorbell Cam and Smart Keypad ensures a level of security that is easy to use and fairly personable. Although somewhat expensive when compared to traditional locks, this set up -- so long as the tech is not buggy -- makes the whole process feel more secure and effortless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Home Security:** August's Doorbell Cam and Smart Keypad add to their Smart Lock for a more comprehensive security system for your home. - **Remote Home Access:** Using smartphones to control locks and video doorbells has revolutionized the way we allow access to our homes. - **Integrated Home Devices:** August's products highlight the trend of integrating various home devices to work together seamlessly. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Security:** The home security industry continues to grow as new technology and devices make homes more secure. - **Smart Home:** Smart homes continue to be the future as various devices continue to be created and integrated together. - **Home Automation:** Home automation companies like August are changing the way people control their homes, leading to faster growth in this industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Camera-Equipped Smart Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-video-smart-lock.md) - [Tubular Handle Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-styla.md) - [AI-Enhanced Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myq-secure-view.md) - [Intelligent Three-In-One Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threeinone-smart-lock.md) - [Camera-Equipped Garage Door Keypads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-door-video-keypad.md) - [Smart Door Vision Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy.md) - [Easy-to-Install Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezviz-dl01s-smart-diy-lock.md) - [Security Smart Home Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lock-ultra.md) - [Smart Video Doorbells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tapo-dl130.md)
