Who is that at the door? There’s a knock at the door, or a ring of the door bell, but no way of knowing who it is. This can be a frightening, or at least a concerning, scenario for those in need of elder care. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors can have this concern just like those with residential assisted living needs anywhere else.
It may be a welcome family member, a delivery service, or your provider of elderly assisted living. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors don’t mind when these people come ringing.
It may be someone less welcome, however. Whether someone who wishes ill, or even a friend, acquaintance, or family member who isn’t welcome just at that time.
Knowing ahead of time can help avoid problems, or just awkward situations. Live-in caregivers for seniors in Sherman Oaks, CA could take care of answering the door, but not all seniors require this manner of senior home care. Sherman Oaks, CA residents who don’t require a 24-hour caregiver can rely on technology to help serve this need.
In particular, a door bell with an integrated camera can take the guess work and stress out of the situation.
These camera-equipped door bells connect to other devices in your home. When someone rings the bell or knocks on the door, you or your senior day care aid can take a look at who it is before even getting out of your chair.
Here are some doorbells equipped with cameras for you to consider. And you can work with your home care assistance provider to evaluate which system makes most sense.
The first we’ll mention is the one made by Ezviz. This affordable option offers good video quality and a wide camera angle, so you’ll see what’s out there. It also records what it sees so it can be viewed later. One drawback is that it requires wiring, so an electrician or handyman would be required.
The second, made by RemoBell S, offers basically the same pros and cons as the one by Ezviz. But the RemoBell S model also has motion sensor triggering. So rather than wait for someone to press the doorbell to begin recording, this one will record as a person approaches the door. And if the person just knocks, RemoBell S has that covered with a recording.
The third option, made by Arlo, can integrate with multiple services and devices. It also has the option to run on batteries — no additional wiring is needed. And it also requires a subscription subscription to their service to see recorded videos. It also has a higher pricetag.
The final is the original and, perhaps, the best. Ring was the first widely known and widely used video doorbell. It is the best video quality, and offers many interesting and innovative options for seeing your video recordings. It is, however, the most expensive by far, and it also requires a subscription.
