1. Operating RangeO This is by far the most important thing to look while buying a

doorbell. Depending upon the size and design of your home (consider the interfering walls as well), you should go for an appropriate operating range. Most of the doorbells support a starting range of 150 Ft and then it goes higher. Bigger the house, higher the operating range of the doorbell should be. So pick up a doorbell with sufficient range to cover most of the area of your house. However, if your house is small and no much wall interferences exist, then you can go for smaller range doorbell.

O Doorbell sound be heard from anywhere in your house and that’s the whole purpose of a wireless doorbell. You don’t want loss of signals because of poor operating range. So be very clear in your requirements.

with wide range of doorbell sounds. You can experiment with various chime tunes and select according to your choice. There are door chimes which have specially designed chime sound for hearing impaired people. You need to check for these things. And if you are not really particular about sound options, then you can go with default sound provided by the chime unit.

10. Frequency Blocking and avoiding interference
