CHICAGO, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scout, the modern security solution that helps every home make protection a priority, today announced the launch of the Scout Video Doorbell, a full-featured video doorbell that lets you answer your door from home or while away. The Scout Video Doorbell provides HD video alerts, live streaming video with two-way audio, infrared night vision and more, all at an unparalleled price point. Best of all, Scout's proprietary People Detection technology allows you to focus on only the most important notifications without limiting your doorbell's field of view.

The Scout Video Doorbell also features a best in class in-app experience. While viewing the live feed, you can easily trigger the security system's siren, start two-way audio or play pre-recorded messages. Additionally, if you have pro monitoring – Scout's monitoring service designed with your unique home needs in mind – you can press the "Call 911" button to instantaneously send a verified alarm signal to Scout's central station. This will bypass any verification calls, prompting central station to immediately dispatch police. Since most police departments prioritize verified alarms, you will receive a faster response. For those without pro monitoring, this button will prompt your phone to call 911 so you can contact the police directly.

Key features of the Scout Video Doorbell include:

Unparalleled Pricing – Pricing starts at $99 for those with existing analog doorbell wiring, and $105 for those with digital doorbells that require a power kit to be installed. This is the lowest price on the market when compared to similar competing products!
Clear Picture, Day or Night – The Scout Video Doorbell records in clear 1080p HD in all lighting conditions, utilizing infrared night vision. The doorbell's wide 180° field of view also allows you to fully monitor your front door at all times.
Two-Way Audio – Talk to visitors – including friends, mail carriers or even potential intruders – in real time, from anywhere in the world via the Scout app.
Optimized People Detection – The Scout Video Doorbell can detect when a person is approaching your door, allowing you to focus on the most important notifications. Other video doorbells on the market have the user set "zones" to filter out activity from a certain distance or angle, but Scout's proprietary People Detection technology allows you to focus on the most important notifications without limiting your doorbell's field of view.
Easy Self-Install – Scout's intuitive mobile app will walk you through connecting, testing and installing each part of your device. The Scout Video Doorbell connects to your existing doorbell wiring, and is compatible with digital and analog doorbells.
24/7 Connectivity – View a live stream or recorded clips from anywhere at any time through the Scout app. We'll notify you of any activity so you're always aware of what's going on at home!
Customizable Appearance – Each Scout Video Doorbell comes with interchangeable silver, black and white faceplates so you can change the doorbell's cover as desired to best fit the look and feel of your home.
Seamless Integration with Scout Systems – The Scout Video Doorbell can be added to your existing Scout system immediately without additional hardware or software.
