wired doorbell

Hardwired visitor alert

A wired doorbell is a doorbell connected to household electrical wiring, as opposed to a battery-powered wireless model.

The button at the door completes a circuit that activates a chime or buzzer inside.

Wired doorbells require installation but offer reliable, maintenance-free operation: The electrician installed a wired doorbell when we renovated.
