DoorBird

What DoorBird does

DoorBird is a Berlin-based manufacturer of IP video door intercoms and access control hardware, founded in 2010 with its first product in serial production in 2015. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY Group, employs 51-100 staff (with over 40 in its Berlin production facility), and reports installations across more than 160 countries serving over 100,000 users. Its core product families include the D1100, D2100, and D31x series outdoor door stations, A1101/A1103/A1104 indoor stations, and access control peripherals, sold through direct e-commerce and an authorized partner program.

The underlying platform is an IP-native architecture supporting Ethernet/PoE and WiFi, with SIP/VoIP interoperability, open APIs, and documented integrations with more than 20 smart home, access control, and property management platforms. Technical differentiators include a 180° hemispheric HD camera lens, a 4D motion sensor combining distance and direction, RFID/Bluetooth credential reading, modular add-on keypads and fingerprint readers, and bank-level encryption. The D31x series, launched in 2026, is positioned as the world's first IP video door intercom with integrated 5G cellular connectivity, enabling retrofits independent of building wiring.

The business model is hardware-led one-time sales with an attach-based recurring layer: the free DoorBird app includes single-image cloud recording, while Cloud Pro adds extended video history and multi-tenant features on a subscription basis. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across single-family residential, multi-family/MDU, commercial, senior living, student housing, education, industrial, and lodging verticals, with go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce, an authorized installer partner channel, and (since 2026) deeper North American reach through ASSA ABLOY trade-show co-marketing at ISC West and ESX.
