Q: Do I need a paid subscription for two way communications with this unit?

A: Hi HapCall. No, you do not require any subscription to use this product. For free you get 1 day of free cloud backup, a 32GB Micro SD Card for additional local clip backup, live view, 2-way audio, and every other key feature included. Swann do offer optional subscription plans which can extend your cloud backup to 60 days, along with gaining an extended warranty and other benefits. A subscription is completely optional and you can learn more here: swann.com/secure-plans/ -SD, Swann Team

Q: Can this be connected to the Swann 8 Channel PoE Wired Cat5e 4K HD Video 2TB NVR?

A: Thank you for your question. Whilst you cannot connect the Doorbell to the NVR directly, you can certainly connect both items under the same Swann Security App account. This means you can live view the doorbell and your NVR cameras all at once on the same app screen, and you will see all their recordings on the same screen as well. The doorbell has 1 day of free cloud storage plus a very large 32GB SD Card included, so there really isn't any advantage to having it connect to the NVR. - SD, Swann team

Q: Can this be used with 5G

A: This connects 2.5Ghz to your router via WiFi.
