And for your safety, the video doorbell also has a motion sensor, which immediately notifies you if it detects any movement. 

What's also cool about this smart doorbell is that you can operate it using an AC power supply or batteries.

Not only does this motion sensor dustbin add a luxurious and futuristic feel to your space, it's practical too. You get to keep all the germs and yucky stuff off your hands. 

Plus, it's definitely more convenient than a foot-operated dustbin. The only downside to the dustbin is that it's about 33cm tall, which is rather small and not ideal to be placed in the kitchen. Many reviews shared that a better place for the dustbin is in the bedroom. 

According to the product description, the dustbin requires two AA batteries, which can last up to six months.

The rechargeable smart curtain motor is easy to install, and can be operated from your smartphone, a remote control, or even a smart assistant.
