Pros and cons
Pros
- The contract term is 0 months, so nothing renews and there is no minimum period to remember.
- Local storage is supported, keeping recordings on hardware in the home rather than on a paid cloud plan.
- Installation is not required to be handled by anyone else, so the €69.99 kit goes in as a self fit purchase.
- The range covers alarm, camera and video doorbell through alarm, camera and video doorbell, so a single supplier can cover several jobs.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, adding a help centre and a phone line alongside email.
Cons
- Professional monitoring is not offered, so nothing outside the household will call out a break in.
- The kit costs €69.99 at entry, more than The Home Security Superstore at $13.95 and Annke at $19.99.
- Top camera resolution is 2k, and 56% is the most common entry in the local storage camera category.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so there is no live chat or community forum for a faster answer.
Who it suits
- Households that want recordings kept on their own hardware and pay for kit only once
- People comfortable fitting a camera, alarm or video doorbell themselves without an installer
- German buyers, since the company is registered in Germany
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for the smallest checkout: the kit is €69.99, against entry prices of $13.95 at The Home Security Superstore and $19.99 at Annke.
- Not for anyone who wants a response desk to call them after an alarm triggers, because professional monitoring is not offered; Aqara, priced from £36.98, is the other brand on this shortlist.
- Not for buyers set on a sharper picture than 2k, or on live chat, since support runs on email, phone and help centre; Annke, listed at $19.99, is the one to compare for camera options.
Where it sits among rivals
Edelstahl-Tuerklingel leads the contract term ranking at 1 out of 60 brands, so nothing here locks you into a minimum paying period. Price reads very differently: 39 out of 70 on price places the kit in the middle of the field rather than at the discount end. The overall score of 9 is strong, and the spread explains it. Cost and offer sit at the top of their parts, while trust comes in lower at 8.7. That pattern matches a hardware shop that keeps its commitments light and its service layer thin, which is worth weighing against rivals that tie cameras to a monitoring contract.
Pricing
Entry price and renewal price come to the same figure here. The Edelstahl-Tuerklingel price is €69.99 for the kit, and the contract term is 0 months, so there is no subscription to price again later and no introductory rate that quietly steps up. What you pay at the start is the cost of the hardware, which suits a household that would rather make a single purchase than carry a recurring charge. A contract term of 0 months also means nothing rolls into a paid period, so a house move, a renter ending a tenancy or a change of mind costs nothing extra. The trade off is timing: the outlay lands in a single payment rather than being spread, and there is no monthly fee that a support package could later be attached to.
What it does well
The range covers three product types under alarm, camera and video doorbell: alarm, camera and video doorbell, so a single supplier can cover the front door, the outside wall and indoor rooms without stitching together hardware from several shops. Local storage is supported, which means recordings can sit on a card or drive inside the home rather than behind a paid cloud plan. Installation is not required to be handled by anyone else, so the kit is fitted by the buyer and no engineer has to be booked. The gap in the range is service rather than hardware: professional monitoring is not offered, so no team watches the feed or calls a key holder after an alarm. Alerts land with the household instead, and the price covers hardware with nothing service attached.
Who runs it
Edelstahl-Tuerklingel is operated by Metzler GmbH, registered in Germany, and has been trading since 2013. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a help centre, phone and email are all listed ways to reach the company. That mix suits a buyer who would rather read a guide first and pick up the phone only when the guide leaves a gap, and it suits a buyer who wants to speak to someone during a normal working day rather than queue on a live chat. The imprint carries the legal entity, the country and the support routes in the same place, so who is behind the brand is visible before an order goes in. The company is long established rather than new, which matters when the plan carries no ongoing commitment.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an Edelstahl-Tuerklingel kit cost?+
The listed Edelstahl-Tuerklingel price is €69.99 for the kit, and the contract term is 0 months. Nothing sits in a subscription on top, so the number you start with is the number you keep, with no renewal to budget for later. It suits buyers who would rather pay once than spread the cost over a paying period.
Is there a monthly subscription or a contract to sign?+
No contract term applies, since the length is 0 months, and professional monitoring is not offered, so there is no recurring monitoring charge to plan around either. The deal is hardware only, which is why €69.99 is the figure that matters. Anyone wanting a service desk watching the feed should look elsewhere.
Do I need an engineer to install it?+
Installation is not required to be handled by anyone else, so the kit is fitted by the buyer, which suits people comfortable adding devices to their own home network. Nothing has to be booked in advance around €69.99, the listed price of the kit. The range is a do it yourself model throughout, and diy reflects that.
What products does Edelstahl-Tuerklingel actually sell?+
The range covers alarm, camera and video doorbell: alarm, camera and video doorbell. In practice a household can cover the front door, an outside wall and indoor rooms with hardware from the same brand, rather than stitching together parts from several suppliers. Budget for one kit at a time, at €69.99 each, if you build coverage gradually.
Do recordings stay on my own hardware?+
Local storage is supported, so footage can be kept on a card or drive inside the home rather than uploaded to a paid cloud plan. That matters most for anyone keeping the kit long term, because a no contract range leaves nothing to renew and nothing billed for remote storage. It also keeps the record of events in the household's hands.
Will anyone be alerted if a burglar triggers it?+
Not by a monitoring service. Professional monitoring is not offered, so alerts are delivered to the household's own devices rather than to a team that can call a key holder. Support does run on email, phone and help centre, but that is help with equipment questions, not an emergency response. Buyers wanting a call centre need a different brand.
How do I get help if a camera stops working?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre: a help centre for self service guidance, plus phone and email for questions a guide does not answer. There is no live chat or community forum listed, so anyone who prefers text support should plan for phone or email instead. The same routes apply before and after a purchase.
Who is behind the brand and where is it based?+
Edelstahl-Tuerklingel is operated by Metzler GmbH, registered in Germany, and trading since 2013. The imprint names the legal entity, the country and the support routes together, so the company behind the shop is visible before an order is placed. The contact details sit alongside them, including a phone line.
How does the price compare with cheaper camera brands?+
The kit is listed at €69.99, against entry prices of $13.95 at The Home Security Superstore, $19.99 at Annke and £36.98 for Aqara's camera range. Those amounts are quoted in their own currencies, and the kit ranks at 39 out of 70 on price across the brands compared here.
