For The Panoramic Wifi Experience
- Get your hands on a PW3, PW6, or PW7 Panoramic Wifi modem.
- Now, about the wiring. Your existing doorbell setup should be rocking 16-24 Volts AC.
- Quick disclaimer: Cox Technicians won’t be doing any wiring gymnastics for your VDB, so maybe call in an electrician.
- Oh, and if your voltage isn’t hitting that sweet 16-24 VAC spot, a new transformer is on the to-do list (Cox Technicians won’t handle that one).
Tips For Troubleshooting The Homelife Video Doorbell
- If your Video Doorbell light is blinking white, it’s in pairing mode; pair it in the Cox Panoramic Wifi App. Alternating amber/red means low voltage—contact us for assistance. Growing white indicates a button press. A glowing white button signals a visitor within five feet. For other colors, seek help by contacting us.
- Trouble viewing live video on your Video Doorbell? Ensure it’s within the gateway range. If issues persist, consult the Troubleshooting guide for the Homelife Video Doorbell’s Wifi connection to resolve any camera connectivity problems.
- Trouble hearing sound on your video? Ensure camera sound is activated in the Cox Panoramic Wifi app; the sound won’t work until turned on. Check the Video Doorbell’s microphone—located on the camera’s front—to ensure it’s unobstructed for optimal audio.
- If your Video Doorbell’s Two-way audio isn’t functioning, ensure sound is enabled in the Cox Panoramic Wifi app, and grant microphone permission on your phone. Check your phone’s microphone functionality by recording sound in another app. For further assistance, refer to the Two-way Audio section in the Cox Homelife Camera instructions.
- If you’re missing motion notifications from your Video Doorbell, ensure motion notifications are enabled for each device. Grant permission for the Cox Panoramic Wifi app to send notifications in your phone’s settings. These steps guarantee you won’t miss a beat when it comes to staying informed about activity around your Video Doorbell. Stay connected effortlessly with the right settings in place.
- Experiencing an influx of motion notifications? If your camera captures a high-activity zone, such as a busy road, it may trigger more alerts. Fear not! Customize your notification area by tweaking the Camera Area in the Video Doorbell settings on the Cox Panoramic Wifi app. This feature enables you to specify a particular region, reducing motion notifications to only that designated area for a more tailored and focused alert system.
