You must have heard the saying “It’s what inside that counts.” The same holds true about technology, specifically referring to a security device for the home, the Video Door Phone (VDP). These devices are an integral part of your home security system and are in fact the first line of defense for safeguarding your home. So, a lot of emphasis needs to be placed on the heart of the smart home video door phone. Most of us know that Android is used as an Operating System (OS) in smartphones. But Android technology also has a lot to offer in terms of its use in security systems and VDPs. In this blog, we will discuss how Convenient are Android based Video Door Phones.
Compatibility
Android is an open-source project. It means that it is freely available to device manufacturers to build new and innovative devices using Android as the operating system. This inherently makes Android one of the most compatible operating systems, which means that it can work with multiple devices and applications. Android applications can function well on a variety of devices, including video door phones, as long as the device supports the use.
Video Door phone allows you to operate all applications related to home security from a single place. It connects smart video doorbell, video door phone, smartphone and home security system. Though the VDP is based on Android, it can be connected to both Android and iOS Apple phones with related applications.

Familiarity
Android phones command 95.06% of the market share in India. Needless to say, the widespread use of this technology has made Indian users extremely familiar with Android user interfaces. The idea is to leverage this comfort level and extend it to video door phones and security systems as well. Users will be more at ease operating a new technology that is based on an OS they work with every day. This makes the VDP systems user-friendly rather than intimidating, which could be the case with some users as VDP is still a developing market in India. The beauty of Android is that because of its familiarity the learning curve with the Android-based security system will be very small and can be used, not just by millennial and Gen-Z consumers, but also by older generations and the elderly, who are well-versed with smartphones these days.

Availability of Applications
Being the most popular operating system for smart phones, Android has the largest pool of applications available for users. As per recent data, there are 3.48 million applications on the Google Play Store versus around 2.22 million available on iOS. This enables an Android Video Door Phone to do much more than just function as a security system. The VDP screen shows the Google Play Store which gives you access to multiple applications that can range from operating appliances in your smart home to playing music on your smart speaker.
Onetouch VDP goes beyond the function of a smart video doorbell and video phone to become the hub of activity for your smart home automation.
Android – Built for IoT
IoT or Internet of Things refers to a connected system of smart devices ranging from TV, washing machines, smart speakers, electrical fittings and much more. IoT is increasingly becoming a part of our daily life, with many slowly turning their homes into smart automated ecosystems. Owing to its compatibility and user acceptability, Android has become the major driving force behind the growth of IoT. Companies are creating more and more apps dedicated to IoT that can be used by billions of users worldwide. A smart home video door phone and security system that can use these cutting-edge applications via the Google Play Store is a winner for users.
Onetouch VDP is an example of multifunctionality, which is a sought-after quality for IoT.
