SUMMARY
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Visitors to the 2014 Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas were treated to an unveil-
ing of the next generation of a device nearly
everyone has, but few people consider – the
humble doorbell.
Enter DoorBot, a WiFi-enabled doorbell
that lets you see and speaking with people
in your entryway from either an iOS or An-
droid device. Upon ringing of the bell, a
video call is initiated that will make sure you
never again miss an important delivery or
visitor.
“We’re a group of inventors and when we
first began, we worked out of my garage,” in-
ventor James Siminoff said. “The problem
was that we’d never hear the doorbell. I spe-
cifically remember one day when I missed
an important package. I looked down at my
desk in frustration and noticed my smart-
phone; at that moment, I knew that Door-
Bot needed to be invented. Technology has
enabled us to be mobile, DoorBot allows
you to leverage that mobility while keeping
you connected to your most valuable asset.”
It’s available for $199 at
Bot.com.
