Chime Door Bell
The conventional doorbell consists of a button, a chimes box that is mounted into the wall and internal wiring. Most of them are built into the home by the builder and they never change or move around. But the problem comes up when the chimes box is in the hallway but you spend most of your time in rooms far away from that unit such as a downstairs office or a distant bedroom.
In that way, the conventional doorbell design isn’t entirely in step with the way homes are made these days nor in step with how people's lifestyles work any more. If the home is very spread out or there are multiple floors to the home, it is very easy for someone to ring your doorbell and for you not to hear it at all. While this may not be a disaster if it is the local Jehovah Witness team coming by to talk to you about converting, it is a problem if you miss a call from a relative or an someone coming by to discuss important issues with you.
But as is often the case, modern technology comes to the rescue. A new doorbell chime system called "Extend-a-Chime" gives you many more options to how you utilize doorbell alert systems so you can make sure that you don’t miss that important visitor when he or she comes to call. The option of just turning up the volume of the one unit that is wired into the wall isn’t really workable. That is for the simple reason that if the chimes are so loud you can hear them in the most remote part of the house, they will be too loud for the room they are closest to. And you don't want a doorbell chime that is so thunderous that it rattles the furniture in the living room just so you can hear it in the bedroom.
Another option for assuring you will hear the doorbell anywhere in the home is to install multiple chimes receivers. In that way, when someone rings the doorbell, chimes will go off in 3-4 boxes around the house rather than just the one. The drawbacks here are similar as the one very loud chime system. Do any of us really want to hear many chimes going off all over the place every time someone rings the doorbell? The din would be distracting to the family so much so that we would come to dread visitors just because of the chimes boxes.
The Extend-a-Chime system takes advantage of wireless and digital technology by simply making your chimes box mobile. But eliminating the problem of having to wire the chimes box to the wall, modern doorbells simply plug into any conventional outlet and receive the signal of when to ring from a wireless transmission from the doorbell transmitter at the front door. It is a far superior that can be taken wherever you will be for the day in the house. And it is in step with modern technology and lifestyles. That makes Extend-a-Chime a system worth considering for your next doorbell system.
