You will also experience improved performance when you position your router and/or wi fi extender near the front door. Advanced motion detection allows you to designate priority monitoring zones, and when someone or something enters
those zones, the video doorbell camera will send you video and alerts. Live video feeds come through your smart phone, so you can check in on your front porch anytime and watch footage on demand. This Doorbell Pro is designed to be connected to your existing doorbell’s wiring, so you might need to call in an electrician for the installation, and you’ll need to place the video doorbell in the same location that your doorbell sits now. Infrared vision helps you be able to access clear footage during the day or night. The Doorbell Pro comes with four different faceplates, which you can use
interchangeably to swap out colors without having to buy or reinstall another doorbell.

We also realized that the technology was cumbersome and NOT user friendly. For example, the internal and external cameras are on different systems and need to be accessed using two different apps. We had trouble with the app for the external cameras, and when asking if there was a way to access the cameras via an internet browser on a computer, we
were informed that the app was the only means for
viewing. When inquiring as to how we could view the external camera activity if the app wasn’t working, they indicated that we should hook up a monitor to the DVR system the equipment that powers the external cameras. When installing our system, we were never advised that we should hook up a monitor to this system so that we could view activity. Additionally, this solution doesn’t solve the problem if we are attempting to view the external camera activity from a remote location. I recognize that integrating this type of technology is complicated, but the other security system provider that we had previously used was able to combine all cameras into one system which could be viewed either via app or internet browser. It was the most recent technical problem that convinced me that using ADT was a big mistake. For example, you can create rules to have the lights turn on when motion is detected, have your doors unlock when a smoke alarm goes off, and have a camera begin recording when a sensor is triggered.Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others offer cloud storage.Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to *overwrite video you may need later.Cloud *storage makes it easy to store and access recorded video, but *it can cost hundreds of dollars per year depending on your subscription.Some *systems offer both cloud storage and local storage, *and some provide a dedicated storage drive that gives you DVR capabilities with time lapse recording, which makes it easy to find a video event that took place at a specific point in time.

When we installed our system, we added a new feature to automate the garage doors this was brand new and NOT using any of the old equipment left by the prior homeowners. After about 3 months, one of the garage doors went “offline” and couldn’t be reset. The technician that was sent out replaced the associated equipment, and iit started working again.
