The SwitchBot Video Doorbell kit includes a wireless doorbell and a device the company calls the Super Monitor, a 4.3-inch screen that can be plugged in and installed anywhere in the home. The Super Monitor can be hung on the wall or mounted on a stand, which adds convenience by giving everyone – including children or people unfamiliar with technology – an easy way to see who’s coming.

Installing the doorbell promises to be quick and easy. SwitchBot claims the device can be fixed in minutes with adhesive or screws, without requiring permanent wall modifications. Once installed, you can choose to be powered by the built-in rechargeable battery (with a lifespan of up to 20 months) or make a wired connection, eliminating the need to recharge the battery. If you choose battery power, you can charge the unit via USB-C or use a solar charger.

Features and functions
When it comes to features, the SwitchBot Video Doorbell supports 2K resolution, providing crisp images. It also features color night vision for monitoring at night, a 165-degree wide-angle lens, and AI motion detection. With Wi-Fi relay technology, the system should work stably even with an unstable internet connection.
