Common questions

Answers to Setup Hurdles

Wired or battery power?

Fixing video lag?

No. Most modern doorbell cameras run on rechargeable internal batteries, making them perfect for renters. If you have existing chime wires, you can connect them for continuous trickle charging.

Video lag is usually caused by weak Wi-Fi signal or brick wall interference. Try moving your router closer or installing a dedicated Wi-Fi chime extender.

Perfect mounting height?

Renter-friendly options?

We recommend mounting the camera exactly four feet high. This specific placement captures full-length body views of visitors and packages left on your doorstep.

Yes. Use no-drill adhesive mounts or door-clamp brackets. These secure your camera firmly without drilling holes into your landlord's door frames or brickwork.
