Can i see who is outside my door if someone just knocks on the door or does it have to be on all the time?

Yes, you can see but you have to turn the feature on. It has a zoom so you can see real close.

You can see who is outside even if the visitor at the door only knocks by pressing the view button on the inside LCD screen. The outside doorbell button serves 2 purpose, to take a photo of who is at the door and to sound the built in doorbell chime.

The view button lets you see outside anytime it is pushed. You will enjoy having the feature.

Yes. We do it all the time. If someone knocks you just push the button to activate it. Works great.

You can create a rule in the program to alert you when the door is opened and or closed. You can have it alert you by email and or texts. Not sure about the notifications by manually lifting the door.

No, it turns on and off when someone enters and leaves the room. You can also control it from the switch.

Yes I believe you can but it was designed to activate on it's own for that very scenario. As it detects the person coming to the door it "self activates" no need to do it yourself.

It will alert you when the door is open as well if it's opened for a certain period of time. It has rules you set. It will not distguish between opening using a remote, car or manual. Just open.

Yes, a few times the alarm has activated;even with new batterys.it sent me on a "search" but it likely was triggered by small vibes from who knows where or possibly air moving between the door and door frame,as that is where I had the alarm placed.All in all, for the price,it is well worth the purchase in my opinion.

There is a blue light on the speaker unit which flashes when someone pushes on the doorbell button. Simultaneously, there is also an audible alarm sound. The flashing blue light is definitely visible but it is not terribly attention grabbing in bright lighting conditions. At night, the light is very easy to see.

Just a still picture. There is a sensor add on that will take a picture when someone knocks on the door.

The device does not notify you that the door is open or closed, however, you can log into the app and it will show you if it is open or closed and how long it has been in that state. Yes, you can then open and close the door with the app. I hope this helps. I find this android app to be very useful.Richard Beebe

Yes, I leave it on all the time. So if there is anything outside I can see it. It will also record

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

This is battery operated. Nothing to do with a doorbell. The outside of the door looks like any other peep hole. On the inside you push a button to see who is there. I love it.

Yes. You can open and close the door from anywhere. Also I'm getting prompt alerts whenever door is open or closed.

Having it inside will delete part of the security function. When it's located inside, it can't detect when someone is approaching your door, a window or your mail box. It would work best to have it outside, even close to your door pointed in whichever direction would be best for your situation. We have another brand in our front yard pointed at our driveway and we can tell when anyone approaches. Of course, sometimes it sounds when the wind blows through the trees or a cat or other animal walks by and that's a bit bothersome. This one was bought early for a Christmas present.

Hi Julien, You can only use this once you're in the house. This is not meant to keep intruders out when you're not home. Hope that helps.

Yes, we also have 2 doors, however it only alerts if own and closes the doors. I does not open the doors, a feature we would have liked.

The lock alone will not do this but if you had another device such as a wink hub or similar device you can. The wink device is very basic and you can trigger an event and it will notify you when the door has been unlocked. You can also remotely unlock or lock the door. The only drawback to the wink for this is you cannot distinguish what code was entered. So if my son had a different code than my wife I could not tell who unlocked it, just that it was unlocked. There are other hubs that allow this, one from staples does and I am being toD wink will support this soon.
