How do I monitor my VX1 doorbell live? How do I record it?

You can stream live video and initiate recordings from your VX1 doorbell on the Remote Services/Total Connect mobile apps. 

 

The controls are similar on the iOS and Android apps. These examples are taken from the iOS app.

  • On the Home page of the app, touch the   button. The cameras and doorbells at the selected Location are displayed.
  • Touch the video doorbell's preview image to launch the live feed from the doorbell's camera. Remember that the preview image is not live. Typically, camera-preview thumbnails show the image associated with that camera's last motion/sound detection event OR the camera's last manually triggered snapshot.
  • The doorbell's live view appears.

 

Three options are available at the bottom of the screen:

  • Touch    to record a video clip from the doorbell camera
  • Touch and hold  to talk to a person at the door
  • Touch    to save a snapshot (still image) from the doorbell camera

Two options are superimposed on the live picture:

  • Touch  to trigger the doorbell's built-in siren and spotlight LED
  • Touch  to  make the live feed full-screen (you'll probably need to rotate your phone or tablet 90 degrees)
