How Nek Insan Wireless Video Doorbell better than Wired Doorbell?

Here's a breakdown of how it's better:

1. Installation and Setup:

• Nekinsan Wireless (Superior): This is where Nekinsan truly shines. It's essentially a QR code sticker. This means:
  • No wiring at all: You simply stick the QR code near your door.
     
  • No electricity or batteries needed for the "doorbell" unit: It leverages the visitor's smartphone and your own.
     
  • DIY installation: Anyone can set it up in minutes.
     
  • Perfect for renters or temporary residences: Easily removed and relocated.
     
• Wired Doorbells:
  • Requires complex wiring: Often necessitates drilling through walls and connecting to your home's electrical system.
     
  • May require professional installation: Adding to the overall cost and time.
     
  • Permanent fixture: Difficult to move once installed.

2. Core Technology and Communication:

• Nekinsan Wireless (Unique Approach):
  • No physical camera at your door: The video stream originates from the visitor's smartphone camera when they scan the QR code.
     
  • Visitor-initiated communication: Visitors scan the QR code with their smartphone (using the Nekinsan app or any standard QR scanner like Google Pay or Paytm).
     
  • Flexible communication:
    • With internet: Initiates a video call to your Nekinsan app.
    • Without internet: Automatically switches to an audio call via a virtual number, protecting your actual phone number.
    • No smartphone/internet (visitor): Visitors can call a helpline number on the sticker to connect via an IVR system, again using a virtual number for your privacy.
       
• Wired Doorbells (Traditional):
  • Built-in camera: The doorbell unit itself has a physical camera.
  • Button-initiated communication: Visitors press a physical button to trigger a chime and send a notification.
  • Relies on your home's internet/Wi-Fi: For video and notifications to your smartphone.

3. Privacy and Security:

• Nekinsan Wireless (Privacy-Focused):
  • No continuous recording or live feed of your doorstep: Your camera remains off by default during video calls unless you choose to turn it on.
     
  • Homeowner's phone number protected: Uses virtual numbers and call masking to keep your personal contact details confidential.
     
  • Visitor logging: The app logs interactions, including a photo of the visitor (captured when they scan), date, time, and location.
     
• Wired Doorbells:
  • Often provides a constant live feed: While privacy zones can be set, the camera is generally "on."
  • Video footage stored: Often in the cloud (may require subscription) or locally.

4. Power and Reliability:

• Nekinsan Wireless (Independent):
  • No reliance on home's electrical supply: Since it's just a sticker, it functions without electricity at the door.
     
  • Works during power outages: The system relies on the visitor's and homeowner's smartphone connectivity.
     
• Wired Doorbells:
  • Relies on home's electrical supply: Will not work during a power outage.
     
  • Consistent power supply: Generally considered highly reliable due to the direct connection.

5. Cost:

• Nekinsan Wireless (More Affordable): Generally, a much more budget-friendly solution due to its minimalist hardware approach.
   
• Wired Doorbells: Typically more expensive, especially models with advanced features, and may involve ongoing subscription costs for cloud storage.

6. Features and Functionality (Beyond the basics):

• Nekinsan Wireless:
  • SOS emergency calling feature.
  • "Call back" button for missed calls.
  • Google Maps location integration for visitors.
     
• Wired Doorbells (often):
  • Motion detection (alerts when someone approaches, even without ringing).
  • Night vision.
  • AI features to distinguish people, packages, animals.
  • Pre-roll recording.
  • Integration with other smart home devices (though Nekinsan can also offer some smart home benefits by being app-controlled).

In Summary:

The Nekinsan Wireless Video Doorbell is a revolutionary product that prioritizes ease of installation, affordability, and homeowner privacy by leveraging QR code technology and existing smartphone capabilities. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a hassle-free, cost-effective, and private way to manage visitors without the complexities of traditional wiring and constant camera monitoring.

Traditional wired video doorbells, while offering continuous surveillance and advanced motion detection features, come with the trade-offs of complex installation, reliance on home power, and potentially higher costs and privacy considerations.
