Re: Smart doorbell

The downside there is that by attaching it to your WiFi network you've already invited it into your house. Any vulnerability present on your doorbell may compromise the security of other devices on the WiFi.

The paranoid git on my shoulder (no, not that shoulder, the other one) wants to bet whether your doorbell microphone is sensitive enough to hear what's going on inside your front hall, any nearby rooms with conveniently open windows etc...
