A video doorbell must reliably ring, display the image, and reach the correct users at the same time. An old mechanical bell and two telephones make power and management an immediate part of the installation.
The existing transformer and bell are designed for a different load pattern than a smart doorbell. Also two users require more than a second login: it must be clear who receives notifications, who manages settings and how access is revoked.
Read the requirements of the exact model and map the transformer, bell, wiring, wifi or network direction and desired phones. Check whether an optional bell module is needed and whether both users can get their own account.
Choose the prescribed power and chime configuration and invite users separately. Set notifications up so that a call does not go lost but also does not lead to unnecessary notifications on every device.
Test multiple call times, image, voice, chime response, and notifications on both phones. Then remove one test user to verify that access and notifications are truly controllable per person.
No. The required voltage, power and any modules vary by doorbell.
No. Deactivating, managing, and gaining better insight into personal accounts makes access more manageable.
