Its Dual-Camera Design Shows You Every Visitor and Every Package at Your Front Door

Time to say farewell. Control4's video doorbell, the Chime, has taken its final bow, and its successor is officially here. Maybe you won't miss the old Chime much, but if you're a Control4 system user, you'll want to meet its replacement. 

At CEDIA (the show for manufacturers and integrators in our business), the Chime Pro officially debuted as Control4’s new video doorbell solution. The upgrade we're most excited about is its dual camera system. One lens watches your visitors while a second keeps an eye on your doorstep below.

For Park City homeowners, that means checking on guests and deliveries with equal clarity, whether you're home or out on the slopes.

Two Cameras Close the Blind Spot

Most video doorbells have a single lens pointed straight out. That works for faces. The package sitting on your welcome mat, though, usually lands just below the frame.

Chime Pro solves this with a dual camera system. The main camera records in 4K (roughly four times the detail of standard HD) with a wide 150-degree view, so you can see visitors from head to toe, along with the walkway behind them. The second camera aims down at your doorstep, watching the exact spot where delivery drivers leave boxes.

Why does that matter? You can confirm a delivery arrived and see who picked it up, all from one event on your phone. No more zooming into grainy footage trying to decide if that brown shape is the right order.

Alerts That Tell You Something Useful

Chime Pro has AI detection built right into the doorbell. It can tell a person from a car. It also recognizes when a package lands on your step. Instead of buzzing you every time a branch sways, it flags only important moments. On the original Chime, insights like this required a separate Luma Insights subscription.

Dark winter evenings are covered too. Infrared night vision keeps the picture clear after sunset, while a downward-facing LED casts a soft glow over your entry. Two-way audio lets you greet visitors or give a driver directions from wherever you are.

Made to Handle Mountain Weather

Chime Pro carries an IP55 rating, which means it resists dust and spraying water, and it keeps working down to -4°F. It runs on Power over Ethernet (PoE), where a single cable delivers both power and data. You won't deal with dead batteries or a spotty Wi-Fi signal that leaves you without coverage. 

Control4 Does Its Own Thing

Control4 builds its doorbells in-house. Savant, its biggest competitor in the professional smart home space, went the other direction by pairing its app with Ring's professional-only X Line hardware. Neither approach is wrong. Control4's route pays off in how tightly Chime Pro fits into your home.

You can watch live video and answer the door in the Control4 app or on the T4 and T5 touchscreens throughout the house. Seeing who's at the door no longer means hunting for your phone. It's the same system that already runs your lights and your Halo remote.

Recordings are saved with up to seven days of cloud storage as a backup. Already have a Luma surveillance recorder? Chime Pro can send video there for long-term storage, right alongside your other cameras.

Ready for a Better View of Your Front Door?

Chime Pro needs a wired Ethernet connection and a Control4 system running OS 4.3.0 or later. We'll check both and handle the upgrade from there. Curious how Chime Pro could protect your home? Reach out here to start the conversation.
