Doorbell Cam FAQ

How do I install the Doorbell Cam? How will I know if my existing doorbell is

compatible?

The Doorbell Cam can be self-installed and replaces your existing, wired doorbell

that has an analog chime. Most standard doorbells that are powered by electrical

wires are compatible with the Doorbell Cam. You will need about 3" in clearance

around your current doorbell to have enough room to install the August Doorbell

Cam. (Digital chimes are not compatible)

You'll need to make sure that your doorbell has 16-24 volts of electricity to power

the Doorbell Cam.

Do I need any other August products in order to use the Doorbell Cam?

No, the Doorbell Cam can operate as a standalone product although you will

need to download the August app for iOS or Android.

What are the main features/capabilities of the Doorbell Cam?

The Doorbell Cam allows you to see and speak with visitors at the door from

anywhere. It is equipped with a one-way HD camera, low light vision, two-way

audio and intelligent motion detection for enhanced peace of mind. Through the

August app, you can view a video live-stream on-demand, receive instant

notiﬁcations when motion is detected, communicate via audio and buzz visitors in

via the August Smart Lock.

How does the Doorbell Cam integrate with other August products and

August Access?

If you have an August Smart Lock installed, you can directly buzz visitors or

service providers in after receiving a notiﬁcation of their arrival and

seeing/speaking with them through the Doorbell Cam.
