Loud enough for a workshop

90 dB cuts through power tools. One in the office, one in the workshop, and I hear the door in both.

Simple, and it stores locally

The microSD slot means the chime keeps its own copy even when the doorbell is at the edge of range.

Paired in under a minute

Four doorbells and eight chimes on one system, and pairing is a single button press each.

Questions about this product

Still unsure? Ask us

Does the doorbell need a subscription?

No. Video stays on the local recorder or SD card first; the cloud option is optional.

Will it fit a standard doorbell plate?

The V2 fits standard doorbell wiring. The dual-cam model needs a wider bracket, which is included in the box.

How loud is the indoor chime?

The chime is adjustable across three levels. The default is loud enough for a full house without being shrill.

What happens to footage when the battery dies?

On battery models the final session is buffered to the card before the battery drops; on wired models power is continuous.
