A:Answer1. The wired Eufy Doorbell is battery powered but the wire from the replaced doorbell keeps it charged.
2. The Eufy doorbell is wifi connected to the base station and will record on the chip included in the base station.
3. Eufy sells a monthly subscription for cloud service to record larger amounts of data. i did not get this service as I think the chip will be enough for my requirements.
A:AnswerFor the battery doorbell, the connection is that the wifi chime connects with the router via wifi, then the doorbell can connect with the wifi chime via their own signal.
Normally, in theory, the Wi-Fi Doorbell Chime can be 15-25ft from the WI-Fi router. The actual range will vary depending on a number of factors such as the thickness of walls, obstacles inside the house, and the location of the router.
Thus, the doorbell is connecting with the wifi chime rather than connecting with wifi directly.
A:AnswerPress one time, have the conversation back and forth. Press again to turn mic off after you finish speaking with the person. One time to start and one time when the conversation is over. Hope that helps!
A:AnswerThe chime includes an external 16 gb micro sd card which work great. If you want more video storage you can also purchase 128 gb micro sd card at Best Buy to replace the 16 gb
A:AnswerNope, you can communicate through mobile app. And you can remove the battery to charge it but once fully charged, it usually works for 3 months
A:AnswerYou can connect to Google or Alexa app (Google Home or Echo Device) if you wish. This way when someone is at your door, those devices can also notify you if you have throughout your home. Only requirement though is just downloading the Eufy Security app on your mobile
A:AnswerNo, it is a built-in rechargeable battery that requires the doorbell to be removed and charged as a whole. This does not take long and if you do it while you're home in the middle of the day, what are you missing? It is a fantastic product and not having recording for an hour twice a year is a very small issue.
A:AnswerSimple answer is no.
Details:
As long as you can find them when you are viewing events through the App on your phone, you can download them to your phone and then attach your phone to your computer and view them in that manner.
A:AnswerYou can actually customize and set up "activity zones" so that your camera only picks up motion in the specific zones that you designate. It's super helpful, and cuts down the false alarms significantly. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerMy doorbell camera is a floor down from the chime. I have the chime near my wifi modem.
Although not asked, I will tell you that you hear conversations across the street clearly!!! Not that you want to, but it is a very good system. I just have the door camera with chime.
A:AnswerThe doorbell camera comes with its own base, which plugs into an outlet. The base has the chime. I believe this stores the doorbell videos. The doorbell camera will integrate seamlessly with the eufy app; therefore, you can manage the security cameras and doorbell in one place.
A:AnswerConnected just to the chime and when someone is detected it stores a video clip in the chime and notifies you on your phone thru the Eufy app. Very clear video that you can zoom in to read a name tag or check things out.
Love it !!
