The phone in their pocket is already a doorbell

Traditional doorbells put a camera, microphone, and speaker on the wall because they had to: those devices didn't exist anywhere else. The whole point was to give visitors a way to be heard, and residents a way to see and respond.

Today, everyone approaching your door is already carrying all of that. A high-quality camera. A microphone. A speaker. An internet connection. The hardware problem is already solved, by the visitor.

Dorbel is the software that connects their phone to yours. No mounting brackets. No drilling. No wiring. No batteries to die at the wrong moment. Just a QR code on your door and the devices everyone already has.

Never miss a delivery again

Couriers return parcels to the depot because "no one answered the door." With Dorbel, that excuse disappears. Every home, apartment, and business has a working doorbell from day one: a driver with a phone camera can reach the recipient, wherever they are.

Not home? The courier can snap a photo of the parcel at your door and send it to you through the chat. Proof of delivery without a hardware camera.

  • Any carrier, any building, any delivery
  • No "sorry we missed you" cards through the door
  • No redirects to collection depots
  • Text the driver back instantly with instructions
  • Get a photo of your parcel at the door for proof of delivery
  • Works even if your buzzer is broken or missing

Smoke. A dog inside. No way to reach her.

A kitchen fire next door. The owner was out. Her dog was inside. By the time a handful of neighbours had gathered out the front, the gap was obvious: no one had a way to contact her.

A QR code on her front door would have closed that gap in seconds. The first person there scans it, her phone rings. So does her partner's. So does anyone else on the notification list, wherever they are.

It's not only emergencies. The same plaque is what reaches the homeowner when a courier turns up, a contractor's at the gate, or the kids are locked out. The fire just makes the gap impossible to miss.

  • Reach the homeowner the moment something's wrong
  • No phone numbers shared, no app, no signup
  • Works whether they're home, at work, or overseas
  • Same plaque, every "we need to reach them" moment

Smoke from the kitchen window.

Owner: out.

Dog: inside.

Neighbours on the footpath.

No one had her number.
