HARTFORD, Wis., Aug. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In the midst
of the Great Depression, a young entrepreneur named J. Ralph Corbett developed the first melodious
door chime, replacing the antiquated door buzzers of the time. His
development helped revolutionize the 20th century home
industry and launched the company known today as NuTone. More than
80 years later, Corbett's forward-thinking design continues to
inspire residential product engineers at NuTone, who are proud to
announce the launch of NuTone Knock™, the company's
revolutionary new video doorbell.
Building on its innovative product line, NuTone, a leader in
home comfort and convenience solutions, adds to its constantly
expanding lifestyle convenience line with the NuTone Knock Video
Doorbell. NuTone Knock allows homeowners to see and speak to
visitors from anywhere in the world in crystal clear HD resolution
on their smart phone or tablet. With integrated motion activation,
night vision and an optional alarm function, you'll always know
when someone is at the door and have peace of mind that your home
is safe and secure, no matter where you are.
"Homeowners have been asking for a multi-function doorbell
system that combines the best intercom technology with security,"
said Jessica Lindquist, Global
Category Director, Home Comfort & Convenience, for NuTone.
"With NuTone Knock, we offer homeowners an easy-to-install system
which integrates seamlessly with their smart phones and tablets,
while providing more convenience and security than ever
before."
The NuTone Knock Video Doorbell offers multiple advanced
features that set it apart from existing video doorbells. NuTone
Knock is easy to install, thanks to built-in voltage detection and
better Wi-Fi signal strength. The strong Wi-Fi connection
allows for farther installation from your router while still
maintaining a reliable connection, limiting the need for a Wi-Fi
range extender. NuTone Knock is the most durable and weather
resistant video doorbell available on the market today. It's
durable enough to withstand dust and water, and is tested from -22F
to 122F; no other video doorbell can make that claim. Offering a
clean and simple design, NuTone Knock is designed to look great on
any home, fits most door mullions and can be flush mounted.
"NuTone Knock isn't just another video doorbell," Lindquist
said. "It's the most reliable and user-friendly video doorbell
available today. It allows you to have the comforts and security of
home from anywhere in the world."
Additional NuTone Knock features include:
- Two-way audio and HD video from your door to any smart phone or
tablet around the world, or from the safety of your own home
- Weather resistant rating of IP65
- Night vision camera allows you to see who is at your door in
crystal clear high definition in any low light condition
- Motion detection technology will alert you of any movements and
record video to the cloud for later playback, meaning you will know
who is on your property even if they don't ring the doorbell
- Quiet hours option silences the door chime during nap time,
family time or movie night
- Easy installation: connects easily to existing doorbell power
and offers a built-in voltage detector to assist in the
installation process
- 180-degree high definition camera lens
- Works with your existing doorbell wiring, so a battery that
won't work in extreme heat or cold isn't required
NuTone Knock will be available this fall on Amazon.com,
Build.com or from your local NuTone dealer and will retail at
$249. To find a retailer in your
