Stellar Security provides video doorbells in Ontario for homeowners who want additional visibility and security around their front entrance.
A video doorbell combines a doorbell with a camera, allowing homeowners to see activity around the front door and, depending on the system, access the camera remotely through a compatible application.
Video doorbells can be installed as a standalone security device or incorporated into a broader residential security system.
Monitor Your Front Door
The front entrance is one of the most important access points around a home.
A properly positioned video doorbell can provide visibility of:
- Front doors
- Porches
- Entry walkways
- Visitors
- Packages
- Driveway approaches
- Other areas visible from the entrance
The appropriate viewing area depends on the doorbell camera, mounting location and layout of the property.

Depending on the model and system selected, video doorbells can provide features such as:
- Live video
- Motion detection
- Visitor notifications
- Two-way communication
- Remote viewing
- Video recording
- Nighttime visibility
- Mobile application access
Available features vary by manufacturer and equipment.

Wired & Wireless Video Doorbells
Video doorbells are available in different configurations.
Depending on the product selected, a system may be powered through existing doorbell wiring or use another compatible power configuration.
The appropriate option depends on the home’s existing setup, the selected doorbell and the installation requirements.
Before installation, the existing entrance and equipment requirements should be considered to ensure compatibility.
Video Doorbells & Remote Viewing
Many modern video doorbells allow homeowners to access their device through a compatible mobile application.
Depending on the equipment, homeowners may be able to:
- View the front entrance
- Receive available motion notifications
- See visitors
- Communicate through two-way audio
- Review available recorded footage
Remote features depend on the specific video doorbell and its supporting application.
Video Doorbells & Home Security Cameras
A video doorbell can work alongside a broader residential security camera system.
For example, a homeowner may use:
- A video doorbell at the front entrance
- A camera covering the driveway
- A camera covering the backyard
- Additional cameras covering side entrances
This can provide more comprehensive coverage than relying on the doorbell camera alone.
