Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

📍

GPS-Verified Access

Every scan is verified against the registered location. If someone isn't physically at your door, they can't ring your bell. No remote harassment, no URL sharing abuse.

🔏

Peer-to-Peer Privacy

Text, voice, and video travel directly between you and your visitor via WebRTC. Messages never pass through our servers. We can't read them even if we wanted to.

🔔

Multi-Resident Notifications

Everyone in the household gets notified simultaneously. The first person to respond claims the conversation. Everyone else sees it's been handled.

💬

Text, Voice & Video

Every session starts as text. You decide if and when to upgrade to voice or video. The visitor can never force audio or video on you.

🏢

Multi-Unit Directory

Apartment buildings get a single QR code at the entrance. Visitors select their unit from a directory. Only the right residents are notified.

Availability Controls

Mute notifications for a set time or indefinitely. Set quiet hours. You're always in control of when you're reachable.

Never miss a delivery again

The "nobody answered" info-card becomes untenable when any carrier, at any building, can reach the resident with a phone camera. Dorbel removes the excuse for a driver to return your parcel to a collection point.

Every dwelling: renter, apartment, house, or business, has a working doorbell from day one. Even when not physically there, occupants can be reached. Couriers no longer need a hardware intercom, a building code, or a working buzzer: they just need their phone.

And when you're not home? The courier can send you a photo of the parcel at your door through the chat: instant, hardware-free proof of delivery.

  • Works for every carrier and every delivery type
  • Apartment residents can finally answer the door without a broken buzzer blocking them
  • Text-first: reply with instructions like "leave at door" without taking a call
  • Proof of delivery photos sent directly through the chat
  • No more trips to collection depots or redelivery slots
  • Reduces carbon footprint of failed deliveries

One code. Permanent.

Your QR code is tied to your physical location, not your subscription. This means it survives across tenants and never needs replacing.

  • Unique 7-character alphanumeric code (e.g. dorbel.app/YOURCODE)
  • Download your printable sign as a PDF — print on A4 or US Letter, cut in half, laminate
  • Optional: order a durable perspex or aluminium plaque ($20 shipped in Australia)
  • Location code persists even if the subscription changes hands
  • New tenant at the same address inherits the same code

Location-based security that hardware can't match

Traditional doorbells have no way to verify who's ringing or where they are. Dorbel uses a multi-layered security model that's unique in the industry.

  • Server-side GPS validation on every scan: your coordinates are never trusted from the client
  • Configurable radius (default ~10m): only people physically at your location can initiate contact
  • Single-use session nonces: notification links can't be reused, shared, or replayed
  • Automatic session expiry after 10 minutes of inactivity
  • No phone numbers or personal information exchanged between visitor and resident
  • Idempotency guards prevent duplicate rings within 30 seconds
