Abstract
Doorbell systems can be configured to electrically couple to a doorbell power supply of a building. In some embodiments, the doorbell systems can include a doorbell with a button configurable to sound a chime. As well, doorbell systems can include a first wire that can electrically couple the doorbell to the power supply and a second wire that can electrically couple the doorbell to the chime. Doorbell systems can also include a third wire that can electrically couple the chime to the power supply to form a circuit comprising the first wire, the doorbell, the second wire, the chime, the third wire, and the power supply.

A doorbell system configured to be electrically coupled to a doorbell power supply of a building, the doorbell system comprising:
- a doorbell comprising a button configurable to sound a chime, wherein a first wire electrically couples the doorbell to the power supply;
- the chime electrically coupled to the doorbell by a second wire, wherein the doorbell is communicatively coupled to the chime via the second wire such that the chime is configured to receive a first data file from the doorbell via the second wire;
- a third wire that electrically couples the chime to the power supply to form a circuit comprising the first wire, the doorbell, the second wire, the chime, the third wire, and the power supply;
- and
- a phone communicatively coupled to the doorbell via a wireless communication.
A method of using a doorbell system configured to be electrically coupled to a doorbell power supply of a building, the method comprising:
- coupling a phone to a doorbell via a wireless communication,
- coupling the doorbell to a remote chime via a first wire;
- receiving, by the doorbell, a first data file comprising information;
- and
- sending a second data file comprising the information from the doorbell to the remote chime via the first wire.
