Video doorbell on which wall?

Thank you for agreeing with me that you definitely have to think about where to hang things.

Once the cables are laid, you can't change that anymore.

Currently, our favorite.

Green mailbox and video doorbell
Red ekey

What would your recommendation have been?

Well, you really have to think about it.

For me, already answered understandably in the first post and also afterwards. I was shocked yesterday that the topic still reached over 9 pages. On the topic, my answer matches @netuser's. (Video) doorbell on the side where the door handle is. Then frontal, so it is seen frontally and can see.

You just have to consider yourself where and how you would approach the door to ring if you were a guest. Then you can decide where the camera sees you and where it does not.

That is different before, during, and after Corona anyway. And as a stranger, I behave differently at a door than as a friend. It also plays a role how deep the entrance platform is and how much space there is between the door and the street. Also from where you come, left, right, or directly from the front. Our strangers also stand differently than friends.

By the way, you can also influence where visitors stop on the platform through a laying pattern. Most people are as easily influenced as cats...

we cannot influence the laying pattern of the stones. All houses must look the same on the outside. The only things that can be individualized are lamps, mailbox, doorbell, and plants in front of the house. The mailbox must definitely be green. We are still undecided between blue and green for the doorbell. For the ekey, we are undecided between red and blue.

I have already looked for a mailbox and video doorbell (Doorbird) combo but they only come with about 45cm width which unfortunately does not fit on the wall to the left of the door between the front door and the WC window

z-e-d offers the B2V doorbird, an under-plaster Doorbird & mailbox variant with only 35cm width.

Thanks for the tip but I don’t know if we are even allowed to install flush-mounted because we have to remove some of the insulation
