est Crime in England and
Wales Survey*, rates of
recorded burglary have
remained steady at around
380,000 per annum for the
past few years. Whilst this
is a marked improvement
from 15 years ago, when
over 800,000 burglaries
were recorded by Police,
the uncertain political and
economic outlook has bred
general feelings of insecuri-
ty. This has partly manifest-
ed in homeowners becom-
ing keen to protect what
they have already got and
a rise in the sales of home
security products.
Smart technology is
steadily making its way
into home security systems,
with CCTV and alarms sys-
tems offering remote moni-
toring and communication,
all through a smartphone.
Video doorbells are a step
up from traditional door-
bell and spyhole viewer
combinations and represent
an easy entry point into
“internet of things” security
systems for both installers
and customers alike.
The new Door eGuard
DG8500 from Burg-Wäch-
ter is an easy to fit video
doorbell system for both
house and apartment
doors. Activated by either a
simple button push or the
infra-red motion detector,
this Wi-Fi enabled camera
sends a notification to the
free Tuya Smart app, which
is available for both An-
droid and iOS. This allows
home owners to easily see
visitors to their house via
their smartphone, even
when they’re not at home.
The DG85000 features
a 720P camera with 160
degree lens along with
integrated infra-red LEDs,
to give a wide HD quality
view, even in low light
conditions. The in-built
speaker and microphone
utilise noise suppression
technology to provide
crystal clear two-way audio
communication. Conveni-
ence is further increased as
the Tuya app is compatible
with both Amazon Alexa
and Google Home, allow-
ing Door eGuard to fully
integrate into the modern
smart home.
A micro SD card slot
allows the recording of both
video and audio without the
need for expensive cloud-
based storage services.
Utilising the in-built PIR sen-
sor, the camera can record
whenever motion is sensed
for playback later via the
app – perfect for keeping an
eye on unwanted visitors.
Marking the DG8500 out
from the competition is the
separate chime box that fea-
tures 16 different ring tones.
The chime box is both
battery powered and fully
wireless with a 30m range,
so can be placed anywhere
around the home. The
external unit is IP55 rated
and comes with a sun-vi-
sor/rain-cover, ensuring
the Door eGuard 8500 can
survive the best (and worst)
of the British weather.
Designed to be easily
installed, the Door eGuard
8500 is a direct replace-
ment for existing 2-wire
doorbell installations,
whilst a separate 12V pow-
er supply is available for
fresh installations.
