Answer your door at the flick of an app when you are home or away. The Notifi video doorbell system from HeathZenith will send you notifications every time your doorbell rings. The smartphone enabled video doorbell will allow you to see who is at your door as well as interact with them. Enabled with a speaker, camera and microphone you can see and speak to your visitors.
The HeathZenith name may sound familiar. It has a long standing history from the Heath Company, that used to bring us those great Heath Kits and Zenith Electronics Corporation. Since the late 1980’s the HeathZenith brand has been focused on delivering innovative products in intelligent lighting, doorbells and push buttons.

You can purchase a Notifi system at select DIY home stores and online for $299. The allure of being able to answer your doorbell from anywhere in the world is a strong one. Not to mention the security of being able to monitor any packages or activity on you doorstep. The real estate on your front porch is another hot spot for home automation products.
