The doorbell uses the battery for power to operate. The mention of being wired refers to the available charging options. If you would like the unit to be completely wireless, you may install it as such and ever few months you will need to remove the battery form the unit and bring it inside to charge back up. Or you may choose to connect your existing doorbell wiring which will trickle charge the battery so you never have to pull the battery out and recharge it. What's so nice about this device over their wired only offering is that because the doorbell uses only the battery for power, it will work with your existing door chime with no problem. That is the way I have mine set up. I much prefer the sound of my original door chime to the one form the Homebase module.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.IF YOU RUN IN WIRED MODE BBATTERY WILL BE TRICKLE CHARGED. IN ADDITION IF HAVE LOSS OF POWER, DOOR BELL WILL SWITCH TO BATTERY MODE THEN WHEN POWER RESTORED, DOORBELL FIRMWARE WILL NOT HAVE TO BE RESTORED.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its battery powered but you can also wire it. IMO wiring it would be best because it doesnt last as long when using the battery.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your home base needs to be plugged into an outlet. The Video Doorbell can either be hardwired or you can choose to operate the doorbell with its internal battery.. Hope this answers your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your're talking about Model: E82101W3-99 (base unit) it stores video's, acts as a chime and alarm. It has to hooked up to your router (WiFi). I had an existing door bell so I wired the camera to existing power. We installed our base unit upstairs in our hallway so in the event of an alarm we can hear it. If you're planning on expanding on to your system, you'll need a base unit. We've had installed our (Model E82101W3-99) unit approximately 3 weeks ago; I've added 3 door sensors. and recently purchased 2 video cameras which I'm planning to install as soon as they arrived. I hate paying for extra charges and would rate the Eufy products 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend that you go to Eufy security web site for additional information and products that you can add on the above Model #. (Home Base 2) No, I do not work for Eufy. Hope it helps.
