Maximus Announces Pre-Orders for the Answer DualCam Video Doorbell and Expands Premium In-App Features

New Custom Greetings feature enables voice-recorded messages within the Kuna app


SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maximus®, a home security company providing easy-to-install smart home security solutions, today announces pre-orders for the Answer DualCam Video Doorbell and Custom Greetings, which allows homeowners to create and control personalized messages through their mobile app.

Answer is the industry’s first smart doorbell to include two cameras (top and bottom) to detect people, packages, pets or anything else at your front door, eliminating all blind spots with a 180° field of view and 30-foot range sensor with Night Vision. The dual cameras provide a tremendous upgrade to smart doorbells that are currently on the market because it allows the top camera to be tilted upward to capture entire bodies (including faces) within two feet of the door, which are often cut from the frame if the person is standing too close to the door.

Additionally, the front-facing music quality speaker plays messages and customizable greetings, while allowing improved two-way communication with visitors. The smart doorbell also uses less power than other video doorbells, provides lower latency and faster connection to the Kuna app to see and speak to visitors, sound an alarm, or dial 911 in the event of an emergency and more. 

“Answer uses a 1080p HDR camera for a crisp, clear picture without blind spots,” said Mark Honeycutt, CEO of Maximus. “We heard numerous complaints from consumers regarding other smart doorbells and their field of view, so we knew introducing a dual camera product would be an immediate upgrade to any other doorbell on the market. So far, we’ve been met with an overwhelmingly positive response regarding Answer’s key features and we’re excited to start accepting pre-orders from our customers.”

To provide the highest level of satisfaction to its current and growing customer base, Maximus also launched Custom Greetings as a new Premium in-app feature. This allows homeowners using any Maximus device (Camera Porch Lights or Camera Floodlights) with the Premium subscription plan to record their own personalized message and play it when someone approaches the front door. Previously, homeowners could sound a barking dog, chime or video voicemail as the standard greeting. The Custom Greetings option joins preexisting Premium features including AI person and vehicle detection, alongside basic (free) app features including: two-hour video playback, two-way talk, a 110dB siren alarm, and “Call 911” button.
