Smart doorbell video lagging

4.5

The person at the door has already left by the time the video loads.

Symptoms
  • Frozen video
  • Choppy audio
  • Connection timeout
Possible Causes
  • Low upload speed
  • WiFi interference
  • Slow phone

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check RSSI (Signal)

In the app, look for RSSI; if it's higher than -60, the signal is weak.

2

Use Chime Pro/Extender

Place a WiFi extender halfway between the router and the door.

3

Lower Video Resolution

Reduces the amount of data the doorbell needs to upload.

When to See a Technician

Doorbell video has to travel from the door, to the router, to the cloud, and back to your phone. Low latency is key.
