Thanksgiving has come and gone — which means the holiday season has officially begun. And if you need help getting into the holiday spirit, Vivint has just released a long list of Winter Doorbell Chimes and Approach Chimes for the Doorbell Camera Pro. All the chimes are free to use for members, and they’ll be available through January 2.

Anyone throwing a holiday party will love the quirky new chimes, as they offer a bit of festive flair for guests coming to your front door. Doorbell Chimes play when the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro is rung, while Approach Chimes activate as soon as a guest gets near your front door. Here’s a look at all the new seasonal tones available to Vivint members:

Getting these activated on your Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro is simple. Just launch the app, then slect the Cameras icon from the menu. From here, select the Gear icon and find your doorbell. You’ll then see an option for Holiday Chimes, which can be toggled on or off. You’ll also be able to modify the activation zone for your Approach Chime, ensuring it doesn’t activate too frequently.

Unlike many smart home security products, Vivint isn’t exactly a DIY solution. Instead, it offers a more premium alternative for folks who don’t want to worry about piecing together their system and would rather have an expert craft the best setup for them. Our Vivint review found it to be a sophisticated solution to home security — and now with these new chimes, it’s pretty festive too.

Beyond the Boundary Wire: How Yardcare and the New N1600PRO are Leading the Robotic Mower Revolution
With automated routes and advanced mapping, Yardcare N1600 PRO robot lawn mower is made to meet modern lifestyle with smart precision.
Grass, Lawn, Plant

The weekend morning dread is a real situation, and homeowners know it pretty well. I've often woken up with the realization that the next few hours will be spent toiling with the hum of a petrol engine machine and hours of pushing a heavy mower around the yard. We’ve all been there, sweating under the sun, in our quest to achieve a green carpet that looks fine at best, but rarely ever achieves the work done by an expert. A fully automated solution should address all those problems, but finding a reliable one isn't a cakewalk.

The hassles of setting up boundary wire, mastering the navigation, and requiring constant manual supervision don't really sound like an autonomous dream. But tech is finally catching up, and one of its best specimens is Yardcare’s N1600PRO. The latest from Yardcare ensures that lawn care no longer means non-stop manual effort, but relaxed efficiency. If you're a homeowner who is increasingly leaning toward automation to take care of your yard space, Yardcare is here to help you make that smart shift with the N1600PRO.
