A doorbell is a signaling device typically placed near a door to a building's entrance. When a visitor presses a button, the bell rings inside the building, alerting the occupant to the presence of the visitor.

Modern doorbells often incorporate intercoms and miniature video cameras to increase security. Read more on Wikipedia
