DoorBot: the battery operated Wi-Fi video doorbell that connects to smartphones and tablets. See who is at your door -- anytime/anywhere. Pretty easy to steal though.

It looks interesting.

But at $170, or $320 with lock, I'm not sure if I'd like that. On the other hand, it's a pretty normal pricing for such products.

Owners may as well leave their front doors open 24/7 then, because it won't be long until someone walks right in, and takes everything.
Especially when the batteries appear to be so easy to remove.

locks, keys and door visors are too mainstream now?

Hmmm... I bet this would have enough street value to make it a popular burglary item.

So a device connected to a system that most folk barely know who to secure sufficiently that can in turn be used ti unlock your house...

...so would I just not be better off leaving my door wide open and at least save myself the 200 quid?

Hmm as a doorbell, sure looks pretty neat but I would not want that thing to be locking/unlocking my doors.
