Choose the ideal video doorbell camera
From solicitors to package thieves to drop-in visitors, our video doorbell cameras are the perfect way to help you know who is at your front door. Whether you prefer a wired or wireless doorbell camera, we’ve got user-friendly options that integrate seamlessly with your Cove custom home security system.
Get to know our doorbell cameras.
Video doorbells are discreet mini security cameras that allow you to monitor your front porch in real time. Day and night, these compact devices pick up audio via speaker and microphone while capturing and recording HD video footage, which you can review in the Cove app.
Greater peace of mind starts now.
Your home security system isn’t complete without a doorbell camera to act as a deterrent for crime around your property. Cove video doorbells keep a watchful eye on your home 24/7. With night vision, HD resolution, and wide-angle lenses, you won't miss a thing, from your dog escaping to a stranger swiping a package off the front porch.
Talk to your visitors anytime.
You can’t always be home to greet your visitors, but your Cove video doorbell camera acts as an extension of your presence and gives the appearance that you’re home even when you’re not. With 2-way communication, motion detection, and HD night vision, you'll never be more than a tap away from your front door.
Motion Detection
Cove doorbells feature a built-in passive infrared (PIR) sensor, which detects the heat signatures of humans moving, even when it's dark. Get notified by the Cove app whenever your doorbell camera detects movement outside and view the recorded footage.
Video Recording
View saved recordings or live stream your front porch, all through the Cove app. Whenever your video doorbell senses movement, it immediately alerts you and begins to record so you can stop crime in its tracks.
HD Night Vision
Criminals tend to wait for the cover of nightfall to carry out their plans, but the darkness is no match for a Cove video doorbell. Our doorbell cameras feature HD night vision, giving you full visibility into the things happening outside your house during the darkest hours of the evening.
2-Way Communication
Are you uncomfortable answering the door for a particular visitor or allowing a child or elderly parent to do so while home alone? The Cove 2-way communication feature lets you speak with the person at your door from inside the house or on the go—so you can tell that aggressive solicitor to leave or let the girl scouts know when to come back for your cookie order.

You don’t have to be tech-savvy to install your Cove video doorbell camera. The detailed instructions in our step-by-step installation guide make it easy to do yourself. Still, if you want to opt for professional installation, our technicians are always ready and willing to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Kami doorbell camera requires a consistent Wi-Fi network to connect to your home security system and record video. The camera runs off of a 2.4GHz Network, so if your router is dual-band (5 GHz), please make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network before starting. If you are unsure what network your router is broadcasting, we suggest contacting your Internet Service Provider and they can let you know which network your router is on and how to switch it to the 2.4 GHz.
Yes, the Kami doorbell camera is capable of capturing and recording HD video. You will be able to record to the cloud or save clips to your phone or another device if desired. The standard recording length can be set between 6-60 seconds. When the motion detector is triggered, the doorbell camera will automatically record for the standard time, in addition to the length of time of the initial motion event (for a total of 35-70 seconds).
You’ll be able to view the live and saved video from your Cove app. You will open up the Cove app, tap on the camera icon, then open up the live feed. This will show you live video of exactly what is happening on your front step. If you have saved video recordings, you can also access them from your mobile device’s storage.
The Kami doorbell camera can be totally wireless or partially wired. We recommend connecting the camera to your normal doorbell wiring. If you currently have a digital doorbell rather than a mechanical one, you will need to disconnect your chime, as this camera is not compatible with digital doorbell chimes at this time. Please note that your current doorbell wiring must be fully powered and functional in order to support a new doorbell camera.
The two-way audio feature on the doorbell camera is designed to be easy for you to use. The microphone in your camera will pick up your visitors’ voices and carry them to you through the mobile app. You can also speak to your visitors from the mobile app.
You can either replace your current doorbell with your Kami doorbell camera, or you can install the camera adjacent to your current doorbell if you’d like to keep your current doorbell functions.
This doorbell camera can replace your traditional doorbell, or it can be installed using battery only and work in conjunction with your current doorbell.
The Kami Doorbell Camera includes a PIR motion sensor. This means that whenever someone walks past your door and triggers the motion sensor, your phone will receive a doorbell notification, and the camera will begin recording automatically. You will also receive notifications when someone rings your home's doorbell camera.
