Questions
How It Works
Can a video doorbell be installed if there is no existing doorbell wiring?
Yes. A battery-powered unit works without any existing wiring. The install still requires a solid mounting point on the entry surround and a confirmed Wi-Fi signal at the front door. Our partners handle both wired and wireless paths.
Do I need an electrician for this install?
Not always. A battery-powered unit needs no electrical work. A hardwired unit may need the transformer swapped if the existing output is too low, which our partners assess during the on-site visit before any work begins.
What does the installation actually include?
Mounting the unit, connecting or confirming the power source, testing and pairing the chime, adjusting the field-of-view angle, configuring motion alerts, and verifying the app connection on your phone before the installer leaves.
What happens if I delay getting the doorbell installed?
Your front entry stays uncovered. Packages, visitors, and anyone approaching the door go unrecorded and unannounced. There is no way to speak to a visitor remotely or review footage of a missed delivery or incident at the door.
Will the doorbell work if my Wi-Fi signal is weak at the front door?
A weak signal causes delayed alerts, dropped connections, and missed notifications. Our partners test signal strength at the mounting point during the visit and will flag if a range extender is needed before the unit is fitted.
Why do some people replace a doorbell that was already installed?
Common reasons include the unit going offline frequently, missing motion alerts, a chime that never worked, or a mounting angle that clips the entry path. A proper install addresses all of these before the visit ends.
