This could not be more relevant today, and for such an affordable price? You had me at Kangaroo - 5/5!

So wild that this is literally ~5x cheaper than the competition… @dhruv_garg1, how did you do it? Very cool!

@noah_fram_schwartz it was two part: 1. Obsessing over the details of what is essential security and how can we deliver that without unnecessary bells & whistles to tell you whats happening at your door. 2. A ton of engineering work on power management that allows us to last over a year on simple AA batteries!

Great idea! Can’t believe home security can be this high tech at such a low cost! Are you guys working on integrating 2-way audio on the device? I’m sure people would appreciate that feature!

@bhuvi_niru We are also working on a pro doorbell that will include video & two way audio among other features. The goal of this device is to get you the most essential security features at the lowest cost possible!

Hey Hunters! Dhruv here, co-founder at Kangaroo. People use smart doorbells for 2 things- to know who’s at the door and to prevent package theft. So we focussed on the essentials and built this to solve those core problems at $20 instead of $200. Super simple DIY peel & stick install, and lasts a solid 1yr+ on 3 AAs. PACKAGE THEFT COVERAGE We’re also introducing package theft coverage so we’ve got your back on up to $300 for any packages stolen on our watch. If your package gets stolen and is caught on camera, submit a quick claim in the app that takes less than a minute and you'll receive your coverage amount within 14 days. Would love your feedback!

@dhruv_garg1 Looks awesome! Do you see landlords buying these as a perk for their tenants?

@natesmoyer yes, a few have already reached out and we are working with property management companies as well as insurance companies to get these to their customers!

Doorbells unfortunately don't really deter package theft, and even if you caught it on video, police has no time for it. It mostly gives you a face to be angry at.

@tostartafire great point! That is exactly why we introduced Package Theft Coverage- we cover up to $300/ year in package theft for anything caught on the camera. We're excited to enable this with a simple $20 device with the thesis that initial deterrence combined with coverage can offer peace of mind in these situations

@tostartafire @dhruv_garg1 That sounds great but how can you afford to reimburse such amounts when the product is so affordable? UPDATE: Ah, that's an add-on service that costs 2$/month, I see. Now it makes sense and seems quite cheap and worth it for people who receive a lot of packages!

How weather resistant is it? Given the torrid rains here in Singapore and that rainy days can last for consecutive days and nights at a time, how well will the doorbell fair under such conditions? I'm really tempted to get one as my doorbell outside is always damaged in such short periods of time.
