Depends where you live (applies to residential use of smart bells only)

If it's a generally affluent road with plenty of alarms and smart bells anyway, having either is not drawing attention to your home and burglars will go for an easy target. I'm sure the smart bell won't deter them - it's more an easy way to monitor who's at the door.

Smart locks- ah that might be a different kettle of ball games.
