MOTION SENSOR
-
The motion sensor on the SkyBell Trim Plus contains a Fresnel lens.
This is a flat lens made of a number of concentric rings, to reduce spherical aberration. Spherical aberration is a loss of definition in the image arising from the surface geometry of a spherical mirror or lens. This enhances the accuracy of motion detection, which will improve your overall SkyBell experience. -
The SkyBell device uses a PIR sensor (passive infrared sensor), which is an electronic sensor that measures infrared light radiating in the field of view; think floodlights or motion detectors for your alarm system.
-
When the PIR sensor senses activity (meets a certain threshold) and is activated, it immediately turns the camera on and starts to record directly to the device. This activation triggers an initial motion event. The SkyBell continues monitoring this activity energy from the PIR sensor and when meeting a more stringent threshold, it sends a notification to the phone. If the notification is answered, the SkyBell records for as long as the activity is detected. If the notification is not answered, the SkyBell records for 30 seconds in addition to the initial motion event, approximately 35-40 seconds.
-
Once the recording is complete, the device sends the video to the SkyBell cloud servers, where it can be accessed almost immediately and is kept for seven (7) days.
CLOUD RECORDING
- Available with all SkyBell devices.
- Choosing a SkyBell Device from the Devices List takes the user to the “Activity Page” and allows them to access the videos.
- There are no subscription fees.
- Recordings can be “downloaded” to the user’s iOS or Android device.
- Recordings are saved for seven (7) days and will be automatically deleted starting with the oldest.
- All recordings are saved to the SkyBell Cloud Server and pushed to the user’s account.
- Recordings are activated when: motion is detected; the doorbell is pressed, or the user initiates a “watch live” on-demand call.
- The SkyBell records for 30 seconds plus the addition of the initial motion event, approximately 35-40 seconds.
- The recording includes audio and video.
Attach the Doorbell Mounting Bracket to the Wall
Feed the existing doorbell wires through the hole in the center of the
bracket. Affix the bracket firmly to the wall by driving the provided wall
screws through the top and bottom holes in the bracket. Failure to make the
bracket flush on the wall could cause a poor power connection between the
bracket and the doorbell camera.
Connect Power Wires to the Mounting Bracket
Loosen the terminal screws and insert the wires beneath the screws.
Do not short (touch together) the wires during this process. Tighten the
screws. The wires must be of approximately equal thickness, and the screws
should be tightened approximately the same amount so that the screwheads are
flush.
If the wires are thick, splice short lengths of additional thinner wire.
The splice joints can be hidden inside the wall, and the thinner wire can be
used to connect to the mounting bracket.
Attach the Doorbell Camera to the Mounting Bracket
Slide the top of the doorbell camera down onto the mounting bracket and push
the front of the doorbell camera toward the wall. Tighten the set screw
located on the bottom of the camera, being careful not to damage it (power
tools should not be used with the set screw).
The camera’s LED should begin to illuminate.
LED COLORS, BUTTON FUNCTIONS, AND GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
Battery Charging
If the LED is alternating between Red and Blue (HD Edition) or pulsing
Blue(Slim Line), the doorbell camera’s battery is charging. The duration of
the presenting charge process varies due to differences in existing doorbell
circuits but normally takes less than 30 minutes. See the Power Information
and Troubleshooting section if this state persists.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
If the LED is flashing Orange, the doorbell needs to be manually placed into
AP mode. Press and hold the Main Button until the LED begins rapidly flashing
green, then release. The LED will flash green as the Doorbell Camera scans the
Wi-Fi networks in the area. The Doorbell Camera should enter AP Mode after a
couple of minutes and the LED should begin alternating Red and Green.
Enter AP Mode (Broadcast Syncing Mode)
Press and HOLD the Main Button until the LED begins a GREEN rapid strobe
flash, then release the button. When the LED flashes green, it means the
Alarm.com Wi-Fi Doorbell Camera is in the process of entering AP Mode.
The LED will alternate Red and Green when the device has entered AP Mode.
Power Cycle
Press and HOLD the Main Button until the LED begins a Blue rapid strobe flash.
The power cycle could take up to 2 minutes.
Note: You can power cycle the Alarm.com T r i m II Pro Doorbell Camera
when it is in AP Mode (see instructions above).
Press and HOLD the button until the LED flashes Blue.
Factory Reset
Caution: If you initiate a Factory Reset, the Doorbell Camera will need to be
re-connected to Wi-Fi and resynced with the account.
Press and HOLD the button until the LED begins a Yellow rapid strobe flash.
The reset could take up to 2 minutes.
