SwitchBot may be most recognizable for its lineup of robot vacuum cleaners, but the company actually dabbles in a variety of smart home gadgets, including smart locks and appliances. At CES 2025, SwitchBot took the wraps off its latest product, the SwitchBot Video Doorbell. This new two-piece bundle aims to make your front door a little more intelligent and secure without turning installation into an all-day project.
The SwitchBot Video Doorbell package includes a wireless doorbell unit and what the company calls a Super Monitor, a 4.3-inch screen that you can plug in and place anywhere in your house. The Super Monitor can be wall-mounted or placed on its stand, adding convenience by giving everyone — including kids or less tech-savvy folks — a simple way to see who’s ringing the bell.
As for setting up the doorbell, SwitchBot claims you can mount it in minutes with either adhesive or screws — with no permanent wall modifications required. Once it’s up, you can pick between powering it via a built-in rechargeable battery (said to last up to 20 months) or going for a wired installation, which does away with the need to recharge completely. Should you opt for battery power, you can choose to charge the doorbell via USB-C or rely on solar charging.
When it comes to features, the doorbell supports a 2K resolution for a sharp image, color night vision for after-dark monitoring, a 165-degree wide-angle lens, and AI motion detection. SwitchBot says its Wi-Fi relay technology will help keep the system running smoothly even when your internet is spotty. There’s also a built-in 100dB chime, which should be loud enough for most homes.
If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing a smart doorbell, there’s a lot to be said for the convenience of quickly checking who’s outside — and the peace of mind that comes with knowing when packages arrive, or visitors stop by. The SwitchBot doorbell can also double as a gateway for the company’s smart lock products.
The company hasn’t announced pricing and availability details for the doorbell, but SwitchBot’s products are generally available on the company’s , as well as third-party retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. If you’re looking for an easy-to-install doorbell with flexible power options and a dedicated display, this new offering from SwitchBot might be one to keep an eye on.
