With nearly one in five Australians reporting a lost parcel in the past year and 4% experiencing theft directly from their property, according to Finder research, package security is front of mind. The Video Doorbell 2nd Gen answers this with a 4MP head-to-toe 1:1 view and on-device smart detection for people, vehicles, animals and packages. It runs in two modes: Battery Power Mode, for a fully wire-free install or a trickle-charge connection to existing 8\u201324VAC doorbell wiring; and Optional Wired Power Mode, which connects to 16\u201324VAC power for always-on operation and 24\/7 continuous recording.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the Video Doorbell 2nd Gen, we wanted homeowners and renters to have more flexibility without compromising on performance,\u201d said Nick Nigro, Vice President Sales \u2013 Australasia. \u201cThis flexibility is particularly relevant in the Australian market, where doorstep theft has become a genuine concern for many households, and simply knowing who\u2019s at the door goes a long way toward peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Features of the Video Doorbell 2nd Gen include:<\/p>\n 4MP Head-to-Toe 1:1 View: A 2048\u00d72048 square aspect ratio with a 150\u00b0 horizontal, 150\u00b0 vertical, and 180\u00b0 diagonal field of view captures visitors and packages from head to toe, with HDR for clarity in high-contrast lighting.
