Identify Visitors Quickly – Thanks to 2K FHD and 4:3 aspect ratio
A 2K FHD sensor records at higher pixel density, and the 4:3 aspect ratio increases the vertical field of view to include faces and packages more reliably. Night-time imaging is tuned for clearer details after dark.
Sharper stills and video make it easier to confirm who is at the door, reducing doorstep uncertainty for households.
Flexible Installation – With dual power choices and a quick-release 6,500mAh battery
Quick-release rechargeable 6,500mAh battery enables cordless mounting and straightforward battery swaps, while hardwiring connects to existing doorbell wiring but requires bypassing the chime. Battery insertion is required when wiring or replacing the battery.
Use battery power for simple setup and portability, or choose hardwiring for uninterrupted operation depending on home needs.
Continuous Coverage When Needed – Thanks to hardwiring and 5-second pre-roll
Hardwiring unlocks continuous 24/7 recording and a 5-second pre-roll that captures a short clip before motion-triggered events. Motion-activated recording stores the event along with the pre-roll for clearer context.
Hardwired installations avoid gaps in footage and provide better context for motion events, which helps when reviewing incidents.
