August Adds Wireless HD Video Doorbell to Smart Home Line

The wireless chime included with View also separates the doorbell from the pack.

"A chime is usually an add-on extra, something you'd have to pay extra for," said Brad Russell, an analyst at Dallas, Texas-based Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company specializing in consumer technology products.

"August is trying to offer more value for less money and compete more effectively against Ring in the consumer channel," he told TechNewsWorld.

View also supports Alexa and Google Assistant, two major voice command technologies.
