26. FAQs
- Q: Motion detector goes off all the time, what can I do about it?
- A: Check if there are any objects that can move near the doorbell, for example a tree or shrub that moves by the wind. The PIR can also go off frequently on busy roads. If this is the case, you can set the PIR sensitivity to the lowest level or switch it off.
- Q: Doorbell does not connect to the Wi-Fi. How can I solve this?
- A: Make sure you are connected to a 2.4G/5G Hz network. Also, make sure that the sound on your mobile phone is switched on when connecting to the doorbell. During the connection, your mobile phone transmits sound waves.
- Q: How many people can use the wireless doorbell?
- A: 4 people can watch the video at the same time, but only 1 person can use the intercom.
- Q: Battery drains quickly. What can I do about this?
- A: Setting the PIR motion detector to a lower position also saves battery.
- Q: Why does the app image load so slowly?
- A: The doorbell may be placed too far from the router, or there are obstacles between your router and the doorbell. If this is the case, you can purchase a Wi-Fi amplifier and place it near your doorbell.
- Q: How do you connect the doorbell with the inner bell / chime?
- A: Hold the button above the volume button for 5 seconds until the LED indicator lights up blue. Then press the doorbell button.
