TECKNET Wireless Doorbell kit with 2 plug-in receivers, 60 chimes and IP66 weatherproof range up to 400m
Product description
The essentials
If you want a doorbell that’s practical rather than fiddly, this TECKNET wireless doorbell kit is built around simple installation and consistent coverage. The transmitter is rated IP66, and the system is designed to reach up to 400 metres, so in day-to-day homes it’s aimed at keeping you alerted whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or chilling in a different room.
On paper, it’s also trying to be flexible on the sound. You get 60 different chimes plus 5 volume levels, and the memory function is meant to keep the last melody and volume even after power cuts. The kit includes 2 receivers, which is useful if you’d rather not rely on one location for hearing the bell.
That said, it’s worth keeping expectations realistic: while a long “up to” wireless range sounds great, real-world performance can still depend on the layout and materials in your home. And if you’re expecting a fully “smart” doorbell experience (apps, cameras, video), this isn’t that kind of product—this is about chimes, volume and alerts.
Key takeaways
- Two plug-in receivers so you can spread alerts around the home
- Up to 400m wireless range (radio signal) for more reliable coverage
- IP66 waterproof/weather-resistant transmitter for outdoor use
- 60 chimes and 5 volume levels, with settings saved after power outages
- Bright RGB indicator light that flashes when the button is pressed
What you’ll notice day to day
The most obvious day-to-day win is the setup style. Instead of powering receivers with batteries, you plug the wireless doorbell receiver into a mains outlet. The button/push unit sits by your door frame, and the transmitter uses a CR2032 lithium battery (the listing says it can last up to 4.5 years under normal use).
In use, the RGB indicator light can make a difference if sound isn’t always enough. The light is designed to flash when the transmitter is activated, which can be helpful if someone is hard of hearing, or simply if you’re in a quieter room and might miss a chime.
The volume has 5 levels, listed as ranging from 0 to 110 dB. That range is handy if you live in close quarters, want it lower at certain times, or you’re just testing which sound you’ll actually stick with.
Where it shines
This kit is at its best when you need straightforward alerts across more than one room and you’re concerned about weather exposure.
It suits scenarios like: - A front door where the transmitter/push unit needs to cope with rain, snow and temperature swings - Homes where one receiver location isn’t ideal (hallway to kitchen, porch to living room, and so on) - Households where visual alerts matter as much as the chime
It also includes a “nightlight/pager” angle in the sense that the RGB indicator can act as an extra cue for elderly family members, at least based on the intended use described.

Care & considerations before you buy
A couple of practical things to think through. First, the system is “wireless” with a claimed up to 400m range, but walls, floors and building materials can still affect signal reliability. If you’re installing in a very spread-out or heavily built environment, it’s sensible to plan receiver placement before you commit.
Second, the IP66 rating applies to the transmitter/push unit, not the receivers. The receiver itself is meant to be plugged into an electrical outlet, so you’ll want the plug-in units indoors (or at least in a sheltered, appropriate location) to match the intended design.
Finally, the promise is about connectivity and alerts, it won’t replace a smart security doorbell if that’s what you’re after.
Should you buy it?
It makes sense if you want a simple wireless doorbell with plug-in receivers, a weatherproof outdoor transmitter, and enough sound options to keep everyone happy. The combination of 2 receivers, 60 chimes, 5 volume levels, and the flashing RGB indicator is a solid “coverage + versatility” approach for many typical UK households.
You may want to skip it if you need video/app smart features, or if you’re only installing in a single room and don’t really need the second receiver. It might not be a great match if your home layout is complex enough that you can’t comfortably place receivers where the signal will reach.
