UK Smart Homes Gain Affordable Doorbell and Security Choices Starting at £5

Sky has moved into home security with a new lineup of smart devices. The range includes a Smart Doorbell, an Indoor Camera, and sensor packs for motion and leaks.

Product lineup and capabilities

The Smart Doorbell records 1080p video. It supports night vision and live streaming through Sky’s Smart Home app.

The Indoor Camera also streams and records up to 1080p. Additional cameras can be added for broader coverage.

Sensors and packs

The Motion Pack includes window sensors and a motion detector. It is sold as a one-off purchase.

The Leak Pack adds water-leak detection. Both packs extend basic security beyond cameras.

Pricing and subscription structure

Sky offers a Smart Home Plan that provides 30 days of cloud video recording and smart alerts. That plan costs £5 per month with a £15 upfront fee.

The entry plan includes the Smart Doorbell and a wireless chime for the home. A larger bundle costs £8 per month with a £20 upfront fee.

The £8 bundle bundles the Doorbell, the Smart Home Plan, and one Indoor Camera. Extra Indoor Cameras are available for a fixed price each.

One-off and add-on costs

  • Motion Pack: £35 one-off.
  • Leak Pack: £40 one-off.
  • Extra Indoor Camera: £50 each.

All add-ons require the Smart Home Bundle and the subscription to function properly.

Market context and availability

Sky expanded its hardware work after launching Sky Glass in 2021. It now leads UK television manufacturing by annual sales.

The company aims to challenge brands like Ring, Blink and Nest. UK smart homes are gaining affordable doorbells and security choices, starting at £5 per month.
