TECKNET Wireless Doorbell, Self-Powered Doorbell, 0-110db Plug-through Wireless Doorbell Ringer for Homes Classroom, IP66 Waterproof 1300ft Door Chime with Extra Socket, 60 Chimes, LED Light (White)

I have had several battery powered wireless doorbells installed, on my driveway metal gate, that always had range issues and batteries that would fail in less than 14 months. You would never know when they failed until you missed a package that required a signature or a friend that calls you on their cellphone in front of the gate. Older wireless doorbells used a radio frequency that the metal gate obscured and required a healthier battery to work for a 25 foot distance in front of a window. Therefore, not very reliable with many battery changes, and also not too weather proof either when they failed within five years. One day when I was looking to replace the front gate doorbell, after I just replaced the driveway doorbell, I found an advertisement for a battery free wireless doorbell and I took a chance. It has worked flawless for over five years and that made me take a chance this time to try this different model for the driveway gate. I first tried to put the receiver where I always wanted it, around 50 feet behind a door inside the house that usually stays open and hides the wall AC outlet. The second receiver was placed upstairs near a corner where it hides behind furniture around 25 feet from the transmitter. So far it has been working perfectly since it was installed with no issues at all. It comes with screws but after trying the 3M double sided tape on my previous doorbell, I decided to make it an easy install and just use the tape. After five years, the previous tape was still sticking so strong, that the plastic would break off before the tape would if I didn’t use a blade to cut the double sided tape first. The plastic could also have become brittle over the years due to the punishing direct sunlight. The highest volume can be heard outside and loud enough for my needs. I used one of the two standard doorbell sounds because I personally didn’t care for the other musical sounds. The music tones sound great but you first think it’s coming from some cellphone or other electronic device. The plug-in receivers only have two buttons, one for changing the sounds and the other for the volume. The doorbell itself only has the push button to activate the receiver. It can’t get easier than that for a music playing doorbell system. The only thing left is to find out how long it lasts through years of direct sunlight, humidity and rain. I will update when this doorbell fails to operate normally, but it could take over five years of reliable service to find out.

Great doorbell for when your doorbell stops working, or if your home was built in the 1950s & the doorbell sound doesn't reach the basement. Loud sounds and multiple different sound effects to choose from. Easy installation with a power drill too.

I recently set up a wireless doorbell, and it’s been a game changer for my home. This self-powered model makes installation a breeze, and with its impressive range of up to 1300 feet, I can hear it from anywhere in the house. With 60 different chimes to choose from, I’ve enjoyed picking a sound that suits my style, and the LED light is a handy feature that adds a touch of flair. One of the standout features is its waterproof design, rated IP66, which gives me peace of mind knowing it can withstand different weather conditions. The sound level can be adjusted from 0 to 110 dB, making it suitable for both quiet and noisy environments. Just a note: make sure to place the ringer within the effective range to ensure it works optimally. Having this doorbell has made it easier to know when guests arrive, and it adds a modern touch to my entryway. The extra socket is a convenient feature, allowing me to plug in other devices without losing an outlet. Overall, this wireless doorbell is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home’s entry system. With its combination of functionality and design, it’s been a reliable and effective addition to my daily life. I’m really pleased with how well it performs!

Good product, nice finish

We had a hallway and the foyer redone when an electrician removed the electrical outlet and switch covers and the doorbell unit from the wall. The painter who we then contracted a week later to paint, didn't see the wires for the door bell that the electrician pushed back into the wall, and he plastered over the small hole and then painted the wall. Should we break into the newly finished wall to get at the wires to replace the old -- and to be honest -- battered-looking bell unit? We decided it would be much easier to just get one of these transmitter systems instead. We really like this solution, although the previously wired version did have a pushbutton that had a light in it that stayed on all the time that was really nice. The push button unit here, since it is not wired so obviously, it can't have a light in it except when it is pushed -- a minor disadvantage. The sounding unit itself receives the signal pretty much anywhere in a rather large two bedroom apartment and that means as far as 400 feet in either side of the location of the pushbutton door unit and they still responded to a outdoor pushbutton unit. The one caveat (and the reason this doesn't have all 5 stars) is because for all the choices that it gives for what sound you want the indoor "annunciator" unit to play, the only one we found really appealing is the standard Westminster chime or a two chime sound. Most of the rest are less than useful if you are looking for a traditional doorbell sound. More on that below, but even the 8 notes of the Westminster chime has a drawback. It is a bit short in length. First, the actual Westminster bells are 16 notes, while this unit only plays half the melody, that is, 8 notes. We all wished there could be a way to set the player to play the selection twice or maybe three times of that they had included the full 16 note melody. We all felt that being able to get the indoor unit to play a little longer would make sure you heard the doorbell ring. The unit does allow you to select the volume, and making it louder will ensure the occupants will hear it, but we would have preferred hearing it LONGER rather than LOUDER would have been a better option. Then there is the actual sound it produces; for the actually "bell" sounds, they are close enough to bells as you need, I guess, but they are not exactly sounds that anyone would mistake as real struck bells like the old mechanical units make that actually physically strike sounding rods? Not a chance, but as I said, they are close enough for the doorbell "chime" sound to alert you to a caller. The many MANY (32 in all) other sounds you can choose, from woodland sound of birds and chipmunks, while they may be interesting and novel at thirst, they got real old real fast and we quickly agreed they were simply not appropriate as doorbell sounds. As the name itself implies, traditionally it should be a BELL sound, not musical tunes, not birds and certainly not musical tunes that are obviously synth generated. The musical choices really sound cheesy -- very much like the tinny sounds a cell phone makes. We stopped listening to the musical choices after about 10 of these selections. With this wireless system, installation couldn't be easier -- no electrician needed. It really is plug-and-play. AND it came with TWO indoor annunciators which is nice for bigger spaces with rooms far from the front door. On the other hand, it does not have two outdoor pushbutton units. This limits it to homes or especially apartments that only have one door. You will have to search for other units that have two pushbutton door units that will sound distinct sound for both front and back door.

How many missed visitors does it take to eventually invest in a Door Bell? Don’t pass judgement just yet or call me ‘old’ or ‘hard of hearing’ but I’ve missed quite a few visitors who have apparently knocked on my front door and I’ve not heard them… What prompted me to buy a door bell was my sister sent me a text message telling me she had knocked on my front door but got no answer, and I was only in my kitchen……. We are all aware that with modern day appliances and technology our homes are a bit noisier than they used to be. Hence I started my search for a door bell. Oh My Gosh – The plethora of options is endless, wireless, blue tooth, battery, plug-In etc etc. Having knowledge of Tecknet, I perused most of the reviews for this particular door bell and in terms of customer satisfaction it ranked highly. In price comparison, not the cheapest, but; if you want quality, manufacturer guarantee and lots of satisfied customers then Tecknet was my preferred choice. I opted for the 2 chimes, one for downstairs and one upstairs, which are plug-Ins so no need to worry about the batteries running out. It is the Push Button unit outside that requires a battery. Each unit is constructed out of hard plastic and seems to be assembled to a high standard. I found it very easy to follow the accompanying instruction leaflet on the initial set-up; I was up and running within 10 minutes. The hardest part is deciding which chime to pick out of the 52 options when the push button is pressed. Or if like me, it will be changed every so often and on the major holiday seasons. I secured the push button unit with the screws supplied, very easy and quick to do. For an everyday household item I’m pleased with the quality, performance and price of this door bell; therefore I recommend it.

Received on time. Already paired and ready to use. Loud and clear. Lovely chimes. Simply loving it.

I've bought a few of this type of doorbell online and if I'm honest they have never really been much good. The batteries seem to run out fast, they aren't very loud and just stop working. I was so fed up though of missing people at the front door that I decided to try yet again. After all, this one was so cheap it wouldn't be the end of the world if it went the same way as the more expensive other ones I've tried. Yes. I know. I'm a muppet. Stop wasting money. Well, I've had this doorbell now for quite some time. I ordered it at the end of January so as I write this review I have had it for a good 7 months. Installation. Put a batter in the door bell. Stick it to the door frame or wherever you want it. Plus the two chimes into a socket of your choice. Press the chime to select your tune. Done. Battery life. I have no idea how long the battery in the outside button lasts but I can tell you that it is over 7 months. Mine has not ran out yet. Volume. The volume is perfect. You are provided with two chimes which plug into a wall socket so you can place them in a convenient location. Chimes. There is a selection of chimes available and they are not all those tacky horrid tunes that so often come with these. Quality. I really can not fault the quality. All 3 units are very well made. Look good and perform the task well. Range. I would say that the range is very good. We have issues with bluetooth/wifi working through out front door but have no issues with this. irt has worked perfect since the day I received it. Overall. 10/10. I very highly recommend this doorbell.

I am really impressed with this doorbell kit. For so long I have needed a doorbell with two fingers. One gor front door so whoever rings my bell can hear it ringing to confirm they have rung the bell. And the 2nd ringer, so i can hear someone at my front door from the back of the house. So easy to set up and has been tested and both ringers work perfectly so I do not have to struggle hearing who is at my front door. One of the easiest doorbell kits I have ever used and for the price I am amazed at the quality of this product and the speed it was delivers and well packaged. This kit has helped me so much. Sometimes the bell may have to be pressed twice to set off the ringer. But it could just be me in the way I press the doorbell. But besides this, it serves my purpose.

So after 17 months I can give a review. Turns up, it works straight out the box. Whats good, well no batteries outside. Plug in mains and can add another item. Bell works , multiple chimes but most you would never use. Problem…… it randomly goes off for no reason. We don’t get many visitors except for deliveries so when it rings , we get up and answer But cause it goes off maybe averagely every 6 weeks we have given up answering the door, unless we are expecting a call, including at 230 am etc. or any random time in 24 hours. Shame cause it does work but fed up with the random ring, maybe monthly or 3 monthly , don’t know why, others who have the same bell, or mobile signals or remote on the tv but it’s a pain in the middle of the night when it does go off
