### See Who's At The Door From Anywhere
You've bought a **smart video doorbell** - Ring, Nest, Eufy, whatever - but now you need the damn thing talking to your phone properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Video doorbells are brilliant once they're set up, but the app configuration and WiFi connection can be fiddly. Get it right once and it just works.

### Why This Needs Doing Properly
| ✅ Set Up Right | ❌ Half Working | |----------------|-----------------| | Notifications arrive instantly | 30 second delay (person's gone) | | Motion zones ignore passing cars | Notified every time someone walks past | | Multiple phones get alerts | Only works on one person's phone | | Video quality clear | Blurry mess, can't see faces |
**Getting the WiFi connection strong**, notifications working, and motion detection zones right makes the difference between useful and annoying.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Weak WiFi at the door?** If signal is poor, I can recommend a WiFi extender positioned to strengthen the connection to your doorbell. **Battery or wired?** Battery doorbells need charging every few months. Wired ones run constantly but need proper 12-24V supply. If yours keeps dying quickly, the power supply might need checking. **Old houses with thick walls?** WiFi signal struggles through Devon stone. If your router's at the back and doorbell's at the front, you might need a mesh WiFi system or extender.
Frequently Asked Questions about Video doorbell setup in Honiton
Is this just the app setup or do you fit the doorbell too?
This is just getting it working with your phone app once it's already mounted. If you need the doorbell itself installed, that's a separate job - give me a call and I'll quote for both.
Why won't my video doorbell connect to WiFi?
Usually it's one of three things: WiFi password entered wrong, doorbell too far from router, or your router blocking new devices. I'll test the signal strength and get it connected properly.
Can multiple people in the house get notifications?
Yes - I'll set up the app on each phone that needs it. Everyone can see who's at the door and answer if needed. Good for families or if you're out a lot.
Do I need a subscription?
Depends on the brand. Ring needs a subscription to save video. Nest and Eufy can save locally without subscription. I'll explain what you get with and without paying monthly.
Will it work with my old doorbell chime?
Some video doorbells can trigger your existing chime, others can't. If yours can, I'll wire it in. If not, you can use the phone notifications or buy a plug-in chime.
