Usage Features

Getting Started: The device indicates its status with an indicator light: flashing means it's waiting for pairing, and solid means Wi-Fi is connected. Users need to download either the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app to register an account and add the device.

App Download and Registration: Users can download the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" app from their respective app stores. New users must register an account, while existing users can simply log in.

Adding the Device: Within the app, users select "Add Device" and choose "Security & Video Surveillance" -> "Smart Doorbell".

Connection Methods: The doorbell supports three connection methods:

QR Code Connection (Recommended): The smartphone scans a QR code generated by the app from 10-15 cm away. The device beeps to confirm, and the user taps "I Heard a Prompt" in the app to complete the connection. It's crucial to keep the phone and device close to the router during this process.
Wi-Fi Mode: Users select the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (5G is not supported) and enter the password. The app guides through resetting the device if needed, ensuring the indicator light is flashing rapidly.
Cable Connection (Recommended): The doorbell can be connected to a Wi-Fi router using an Ethernet cable (CAT5/6). The device powers on, and the app searches for it on the same network.

Device Added Successfully: Once connected, the app displays the device's live view and various control options like playback, gallery, theme color, device volume, motion detection, lock, and edit settings.

Troubleshooting Connection Failure: If connection fails for a second user, a long press of the reset button for 1 minute is required, followed by waiting for the device to reboot. Simply quitting the app or power cycling the device will not resolve the issue.

Wiring Options: The manual illustrates three wiring options for connecting the doorbell with an electronic lock and power supply, including configurations with a Wi-Fi router and a PoE switch.

Unlocking the Door: From the app's live view, users can tap the "Lock" icon to unlock the door. A confirmation prompt appears before unlocking.

Device Sharing: The doorbell supports sharing with up to 10 mobile phones simultaneously. To share, the primary user creates a home in the app, adds members by entering their Tuya account, and then the invited members accept the invitation and add the device to their home.

Motion Detection: The doorbell supports PIR motion detection with an SD card. Users can enable motion detection alarms and adjust sensitivity levels within the app's settings. Notifications are pushed to the smartphone when motion is detected.

MicroSD Card Usage: The SD card slot is located at the bottom of the outdoor unit. It enables motion detection and video playback. The device supports up to 128GB high-quality SD cards. Before use, the SD card must be formatted via a computer or the app. For 8G/16G/32G cards, FAT32 format is required; for 64G/128G cards, EXFAT format is needed. The app also provides options to check SD card storage and format it.

Cloud Storage Service: An optional cloud storage service is available for recording videos, offering protection against data loss or theft.

Wireless Chime Setup: The doorbell can be connected to an optional wireless chime for audible alerts inside the home.

Step 1: Ensure the video doorbell is connected to the phone and the chime is plugged in.
Step 2: Press the "Tune" button on the chime to cycle through 50 different tunes and select one.
Step 3: Press and hold the "Volume" button on the chime for 5 seconds until the blue indicator is ON.
Step 4: Press the "Call" button on the doorbell.
Step 5: Press the "Call" button again, and the chime will play the selected tune, indicating successful pairing.

Power Supply: The IP doorbell supports various types of 12V 1A power adapters (EU, AU, UK, US types).
