Can you activate the camera if the doorbell isn't pushed, say if someone just knocks at the door?

Doorbell captures picture when doorbell pushed. Camera can be panned after doorbell. Have not found that camera works without doorbell.

You can watch video from camera without pushed button ONLY you use power adapter included. If you use only battery, you can watch video from camera ONLY if button was pushed.

Doorbot is activated by pushing the button on the Doorbot. If you also connect your doorbell button wires to it (basically, replace your doorbell button with the Doorbot), you will also hear your doorbell ring AND it keeps your Doorbot charged.

This can be turned on/off via the settings. But it has no function, so if the camera is working it doesn't matter.

I does not record, It turns on a monitor & play a short tune to get your attention when the doorbell button is pushed that allows you to see who is at the door without actually going to the door. There is also an additional item you can purchase that allows you to remotely unlock the door & allow your guest to come in if you so choose. I hope this helps.

No "Click", just like any other doorbell button. If the interior bell is loud enough, you might hear it ring, at the door.

If you're worried about someone outside the door hearing you push the button to photograph them, don't. The button push makes little to no noise at all. You will "feel" the click but there is no sound.

You set the motion detector by selecting a spot on the screen. Whenever something passes through that spot it will take the photo. So, yes, if you select a spot on the screen that is long range, the camera will activate the recording.

Yes this is possible. The camera can both trigger an alarm system when it detects motion or be triggered by an alarm system to start recording images. It has connections where both inputs and outputs can be hooked up. Your door switch would be acting as the alarm signal.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

Yes on both accounts. You can FF when watching the video recording and you can set it to notify you when motion is detected and on what camer so you can go right to that camera and remote view.

It's easy....just open the door and turn the camera off. Remove the SD card and replace it with another card. Turn the camera back on then close the door.

Yes. The only thing that does not work on batteries is getting a live feed at anytime. The doorbell works fine and the camera.

Doorbell needs to ring for it to snap a photo.... i havent tried to record 24/7... im not sure if it does

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

Yes. If you slide the button the button on it's side, you can turn it off before you open the door, or change it from alarm to an entry chime.

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.
