Trouble Shooting/ FAQ’s

Ql. How do I enable notifications on my phone? Go to the Aiwit app, then tap the “settings” icon, turn “Motion Alerts” on.

• *To get the notification, you need to give the Aiwit app permissions to access your phone. If your Aiwit app does not have permissions, you need to do this first. Steps may vary for different devices. Generally, they are as indicated:
  Step 1 : Open “Settings” on your phone. Go to “App & Notifications”.
  Step 2: Go to “App permissions”. Make sure all options are enabled.

Q2. How to adjust Motion Detection Sensitivity? From the home page, tap the “Motion Detection” icon, then go to the “Motion Settings”.
Sensitivity settings decide when and how often your doorbell wakes up and starts to record. Settings range from “High” to “0-ff”.
High : Records and notifies you for almost every movement, the detection scope is around 7 meters. This means all the movements within this area will be detected, and the doorbell will wake up and start to record a video.
Medium: Records and notifies less often.
Low: Records and notifies you even less often. The detection scope is around 1.5 meters.
Off: Does not notify nor record.

• • Choosing a high sensitivity setting will decrease battery life. Under this setting, you will get the shortest battery life and frequent notifications. Under a constant state of activity, it may result in the battery running out fast.
    A low sensitivity setting will make the battery last longer. Under this setting, you will get longer battery life and fewer notifications.
    You should try all the settings first, and then choose whichever seems more fitting.

Q3. How can I talk to people through the doorbell? Open you Aiwit App, active the doorbell. Hold the “Hold to talk” button to talk.
The intercom can go both ways, but only 1 person can talk at a time When the button on your phone is held, the sound from the doorbell will not be delivered to your phone. When the button on your phone is released, your voice will not be delivered to the doorbell.
