Hi Bart’s

It’s a very simple task to install the doorbell itself, connecting it to your wi-fi can be daunting to somebody who is not tech savvy, but is easily doable to those who are used to connecting wi-fi devices etc.

If both elements of installation/connection are not something you are able to do, if you have any friendly neighbours you can call upon give them a knock? 👍

Thank you, I will give it a go myself in the first instance.

If you need any help i'm happy to provide remote assistance over the phone, as I'm in the UK at the moment. Do you use WhatsApp?

The main problem will be getting a power supply to it. You can use batteries but they won't last long if it regularly videoing and not being charged. I presume you may not be there for long periods and the battery may die if not powered.

Thanks, a good point, I think it will have to be mains powered.

How often would anyone be ringing it?  I would assume lithium batteries would last quite a while.  You could also consider Blink from Amazon, the system runs on electricity but the camera on battery, it lasts ages and lets you know when to change them.  Hope this helps.

It is a small camera that you can fix outside and you can talk to people through it, we have one in the U.K. and in Spain, costs around £155 for 2 cameras with 2 year battery life, and we can keep an eye on both properties very simple to set up too, called Blink, we recently asked a delivery chap where to leave a parcel via our U.K. camera and it worked a treat!!
