My aqara doorbell worked great on battery but drain fast. Now I connected it to power and it works for a couple weeks and then stops connecting. I flip my circuit breaker and it starts working again. Is there a way to make the doorbell restart on its own maybe once a day?
I'm not aware. It sounds a bit like the power source for your doorbell is not enough voltage. I'm certainly not an electrician, but since I live in an older house I was concerned when I first tried a smart doorbell camera that my existing wiring wouldn't support the power needs. It might be something to look into.
@@volcolby I wouldn't trust Arlo. About a year or two ago they dropped support for all of their older models and made their older cameras obsolete forcing everyone to upgrade their hardware. Outside of that nuisance, Arlo also requires a monthly fee or to buy a separate NVR bay for any of their cameras to record. Idk if that is different for their doorbells though.
@@volcolbyI’ve had the Eufy dual cam doorbell for about 2 years now. It’s an awesome doorbell camera for seeing packages on your porch, but I think you’ll be just as disappointed with the response time. It’s nice that you don’t need a subscription. Mines hardwired in with the upgraded 20v transformer, but it’s disappointing, at least for me, it doesn’t record 24/7.
You may have already tried this but have you reduced the loitering interval time and loitering time? I assume you may get a lot of false positives though.
I would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve found a fix for the slow reaction time or just if you are experiencing similar issues.

What are you thinking about using next for your doorbell?
Hopefully the Eufy with dual cams. Or maybe Arlo.

Weird. But understandable.
