The presentation is divided into two main sections: Owlet Doorbell Cameras- Introduction Owlet doorbell cameras are video doorbells that connect to a phone and allow you to see who is at the door. They come with cameras, motion sensors, lights, and speakers whereby you can monitor your visitors through cameras, detect their presence through motion sensors, illuminate the compound through the lights, and even communicate with them through the speakers even when you are not at home.
Owlet ensures that it is easy for you to install this video doorbell as well as using it. The only thing you require is the Owlet application on your smartphone. So long as there is a Wi-Fi connection in your home and a mobile device, you can monitor your live video feed and get alerted of visitors.
A Getting Started Guide to the Owlet App First, to start viewing your doorbell camera, you need to download the Owlet app. The Owlet app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store if you are an iPhone owner or from the Google Play Store if you own an Android.
After downloading the app, you should open the app and proceed to create an account. You will be required to input your name, e-mail address, and password. Remember, it is always wise to write your password somewhere in case you forget it later on.
It will then request for an email address and a confirmation code will be sent to the email address provided. Use that code to finalize the creation of your account in the app.
Connecting Owlet Doorbell Camera The Owlet doorbell camera is easy to install after creating an account; they can easily connect this device to their account.
First, you will have to take your doorbell camera and install it near the door using the provided screws. One should ensure it is well put in place with the camera tilted in a manner that captures the visitors well.
Next, navigate to the Owlet app and input your new account details where you have been guided to sign in. Click on the Add Device button and then choose your Owlet doorbell camera model from the available options.
It will guide you through steps on how to get your doorbell up and running. It entails pushing the sync button on your doorbell, then typing your WiFi network name and password in the linked application to connect it to your home internet.
After pairing, you will create a name for your doorbell camera and set it for home if you wish to manage other Owlet products. And that is it! Your camera will now begin to record video and stream it to the cloud.
Watching the Real-Time Broadcast from Your Camera If you want to watch the live stream from your doorbell camera, then launch the Owlet application on your smartphone and log in.
Your camera feed will come on, displaying what is outside your doorbell if your camera is focused on that area. It is also possible to observe icons of the interfaces on the screen.
If you have other cameras installed, choose the doorbell camera feed from the list of available devices. The live view will then turn to the particular camera and display video from it.
If no other action is taken, the default view will be the live feed. However, you also can review recorded clips if you fail to respond to any visitor alerts.
Panning and Zooming the Video Feed Ideally, when you are watching the live video feed, you might realize that some areas are hard to capture, such as box delivery on the floor. On a positive note, Owlet cameras have options for panning, tilting, and zooming the video feed.
Touch and drag your finger to pan or tilt. This will change the orientation of the cameraâs field of view either up, down, to the left, or to the right.
For a digital zoom, using two fingers in a spread-out motion on the screen of your phone would do the job. To zoom out, reverse the pinching motion with two fingers. This will help you inspect areas more closely.
Enabling Notifications and Alerts Among the most basic elements of the Owlet doorbell camera which are very important, is getting notifications as soon as the motion sensor starts picking activity. This way, you can see visitors even if you are not continually checking the live stream.
So in the Owlet app, what you need to do is go to settings and this is done by tapping on the gear icon. From there, select Notifications to set up notification and alert options.
Some of the customizable features include whether to turn on or off motion detection, adjustment of the level of sensitivity to the amount of movement that is required to trigger an alert, or simply the hours or time that the alert is supposed to be sent.
It also allows you to set up push notifications and email alerts for when the doorbell button is pressed or motion is detected.
Interacting with Visitors through Two-Way Audio The Owlet doorbell also comes with a speaker and a microphone for two-way communication. For instance, if there is a visitor or a delivery person at your door, then you can easily engage them in a conversation without having to open the door by simply using the phone.
During a live video, search and click the ‘Microphone Iconâ to allow two-way audio to take place. It is also equipped with a touchless interface where you see sound waves animated on the screen to show that it is active.
To speak, press and hold the microphone button again as you speak, to mute your microphone, simply press the button again. Let it go after you have completed the writing process. When recording is done, any sound from within the vicinity of your doorbell will be relayed back through the phone speaker.
This way, you can go back and forth having conversations with visitors to your site. This is helpful when responding to questions from delivery boys or making appointments with the salesmen.
Conclusion All right, and that sums up the way you can view and engage with your Owlet video doorbell system! By spending several minutes of your time installing the doorbell camera and connecting it to the Wi-Fi, you will be effectively guarding your home and staying connected with your family at any time.
It is convenient to use all the features that Owlet offers such as live feed, motion alerts, zooming, and two-way audio directly from your smartphone through the Owlet app. That way, it will be easy to tell when someone rings your doorbell or is on your compound when you are not around.
