Accessories to improve your Doorbird experience...
The Doorbird Chime allows you to hear when someone rings your Doorbell, even when your phone is in another room or has a flat battery. It can be programmed to only chime within certain hours, has 40 different chime sounds, and has a 'Do not disturb' mode.
The Doorbird Birdguard Camera allows you to have other camera views from within the Doorbird App. For example, answer a call from a delivery driver, talk to them, unlock the door for them, then switch to the Birdguard which is viewing the foyer. Then you can continue to talk to them and make sure they place the package then leave.
This is a simply amazing accessory. If you live in an older house with an existing doorbell, there's a pretty good chance it has 2 wires going to it. The 2-wire converter allows you to connect ethernet (hardwired internet rather than WiFi) and power via POE; all over the old wire! A simply outstanding accessory that means your Doorbird can be as fast and robust in an old house, as it would in a new house with specialised cabling.
The one thing that can let down the performance of your Doorbird is your home network and WiFi. If you are relying solely on the WiFi modem provided to you by your internet provider, you may not be providing the Doorbird with the infrastructure it needs to work it's best. Ubiquiti are a brand of networking devices that are 'Enterprise' quality at 'Consumer' prices.
