You use am iPhone ir android? Thanks.Every press results in the chime working and 2-3 second delay my phone rings. Never missed a call yet. Installed about 3 months ago.
Hi Guys, so I have a door bell issue, ive wired the mechanical door bell as per instructions and included the powerkit, my bell doesn't work and im not picking up 12 volts across the terminals when the bells pressed at the DB1C. the DB1C tone rings but doesn't fire the door bell, any ideas?
I’m using a iPhone7.You use am iPhone ir android? Thanks.
Hi Rob. Thanks for the great vid.
Hi there, yeah, tested, tranny 12v, just not getting a 12v feed back from the DB1C when I press the button, so I bit the bullet and bought the wireless chime, Needed to get it sorted,Do you have a multimeter? Its real easy to test to see if the transformer is working or not.
I just treat it as a normal camera. I have it recording to BI 24x7. I have the bell notifications disabled when someone pushes the actual bell button so I never use the two way communication feature. I could care less to talk to a solicitor or the delivery guy who sometimes pushes the bell when they drop a package off. During testing though when I first set it up, I didn't have any delayed issues with the two way. Granted I only tested it one or two times on the same wifi network. I do have human alerts turned on, and it "kind of works" for that. When I say kind of, it does detect people outside the range I told it to, so its not great in that regard but I do get those alerts immediately sent to my phone when it gets a detection so that is good.I bought this doorbell cam off of amazon based off of mostly positive reviews on here and I gotta say, I don't understand why it's so popular?
Simply because the notifications are wildly delayed. Pressing the bell results in the call coming onto my phone well over two minutes later. Detection alerts are even worse. And before anyone says "it's your network!" My AP is placed literally 10 feet away from the front door. There's absolutely zero way there's a wifi connection issue. Resets, re-installs, battery optimizations, keeping the app -open-, manually checking the call log that displays a missed call before the call comes in. What.
What a horrible device, I'll be sending it back (Unless anyone has any suggestions!), but I wanted to get the word out there that this simply doesn't seem to work.
Cheers!
Ok we won't say "It's Your Network!"I bought this doorbell cam off of amazon based off of mostly positive reviews on here and I gotta say, I don't understand why it's so popular?

Because as others have mentioned, most of us don't use or care about the OEM software and notifications.I bought this doorbell cam off of amazon based off of mostly positive reviews on here and I gotta say, I don't understand why it's so popular?

Yeah I went ahead and upgraded anyway. Normally I don't but in this case I want to play with it and see how it works on our DBs I am assuming you can downgrade to previous version:

So there is a sizable Thread about this...I have been following it never dove into it...Sounds like the native will be a lot easier...for folks like me...curious to get ur findings. i saw a youtube video about this when it just was just released, and it didnt look that good to me for some reason.
