FAQ
What is the difference between dual motion detection and single-motion detection?
Other doorbells on the market have only one sensor, radar or passive infrared (PIR) for object detection. Video Doorbell S330 uses both to combine the advantages of heat and sound wave sensing, reducing false alarms** by 95%.
Can the battery doorbell work as a wired doorbell when it's hardwired?
No, the battery doorbell cannot work as a wired doorbell. If you have existing doorbell wires and prefer to hardwire the doorbell, you are welcome to purchase the wired version. We will begin selling it in late March.
Can I connect my battery doorbell to my doorbell wires to extend battery life?
Yes, you can connect to your existing wires to extend your doorbell's battery life.
How long does the fully charged battery last?
