DoorBird
DoorBird makes the connected front door. Built in Berlin by Bird Home Automation since 2015 and part of the ASSA ABLOY group since 2022, DoorBird produces IP video door stations — internet-connected intercoms that stream the entrance to a phone, tablet or indoor monitor anywhere in the world, and open the door from the app. What distinguishes it for a luxury project is the build: real powder-coated and stainless steel, anthracite and even gold and brass finishes, IP-rated and made in Germany, plus custom stations for prestige entrances. It integrates with KNX, Loxone, Control4, Crestron, Gira and more. Via della Seta sources DoorBird for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — handling specification, freight, customs and coordination with your integrator under one contract.

Why specify DoorBird for an interior project
DoorBird is the choice when the entrance has to be both connected and beautifully made. The stations are real metal — stainless, anthracite, gold and brass — IP-rated and German-built, in surface and flush forms with camera, call buttons, keypad and name modules configured to the door. For a designer, that means a video intercom that suits an architectural entrance or a heritage facade, with a custom program for one-off prestige stations, rather than a plastic consumer doorbell.
It is also genuinely open and integrated. DoorBird is IP-based and works with the major automation platforms — KNX, Loxone, Control4, Crestron, Gira, Home Assistant — so the door station becomes part of the wider smart home rather than a separate app. Calls and video reach phones, tablets and DoorBird's own indoor monitors, with door release, and the system suits single residences and multi-tenant buildings alike.
Via della Seta sources DoorBird. We work from the spec — station model, finish, modules (camera, keypad, name buttons) and indoor units — coordinate with your integrator, manage freight and US customs clearance, and consolidate the DoorBird package with the rest of your specification (smart home, security, lighting) under one contract and one timeline.

Station housings
Wipe stainless, anthracite and gold housings with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry; avoid abrasives that scratch the finish. Keep the camera lens and call buttons clean for clear video and reliable operation.
Weather & access
The stations are IP-rated for outdoor use; periodically clear accumulated dust and salt, especially near coasts, and protect keypad and fingerprint modules per the installation guidance.
Software & integration
Keep the DoorBird app and station firmware current, and use the specified network and power-over-Ethernet infrastructure. Configuration and integration with your automation platform are best handled by a certified integrator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DoorBird?
DoorBird is an IP (internet-connected) video door station — a smart intercom that streams the entrance to a phone, tablet or indoor monitor and opens the door from the app, anywhere in the world. Built in Berlin and part of the ASSA ABLOY group, DoorBird stations are made in real metal — stainless, anthracite, gold and brass — and integrate with the major smart-home platforms.
Can I get DoorBird in the United States through Via della Seta?
Yes. Via della Seta sources DoorBird for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — including luxury residences in California, Florida, New York and Texas, and multi-tenant and hospitality entrances nationwide. We handle specification, the order, freight, US customs clearance, and coordinate delivery with your integrator.
What systems does DoorBird integrate with?
DoorBird is IP-based and open, integrating with KNX, Loxone, Control4, Crestron, Gira, Home Assistant and others, as well as its own indoor video monitors. That lets the door station become part of the wider smart home — calls, video and door release reaching phones, tablets and wall units — rather than a separate, closed app.
Can a DoorBird station be customized to the entrance?
Yes. Beyond the standard D11xx and D21xx series, DoorBird runs a custom program for made-to-order stations in gold and stainless with configured camera, keypad and name modules, made to match a specific facade, material and layout. This suits prestige entrances and heritage buildings where a standard module would not fit the architecture.
Does DoorBird offer keyless entry?
Yes. Several stations, such as the D21DKH and D21DKV, include integrated code keypads, and keyless or fingerprint access modules are available, so residents and trusted visitors can enter by code or fingerprint without a phone — alongside the camera, call buttons and app-based door release.
How is DoorBird different from a consumer video doorbell?
DoorBird is a German-built, IP-rated, real-metal door station designed for architects and integrators, with configurable modules, custom finishes and open integration into KNX, Loxone, Crestron and more. A consumer doorbell is a single closed device; DoorBird is specified to the entrance and the wider smart home, which is why it suits luxury residential and multi-tenant projects.
