Door bell

A doorbell (often referred to as a “door bell”) is a device installed near the entrance of a home or building to alert occupants when someone is at the door. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its components and functionality:

1. Basic Functionality:

• Button: The doorbell typically features a button located outside the door. When pressed, it sends a signal to the chime or bell inside the building.
• Chime/Bell: The chime or bell produces a sound (a ring or tone) to notify the occupants that someone is at the door.

2. Types of Doorbells:

• Wired Doorbell: Connected directly to the building’s electrical system, a wired doorbell has a physical connection between the button outside and the chime inside.
• Wireless Doorbell: Operates using radio signals, where the button and chime communicate wirelessly, often powered by batteries.
• Smart Doorbell: A modern variant with video and audio features, allowing the occupants to see, speak to, and interact with visitors remotely through a smartphone app. These often integrate with home security systems and can feature motion detection.
