SkyBell Troubleshooting

Here’s a troubleshooting quide for your SkyBell. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for service. NewVision Security is a SkyBell video doorbell installer based in Bismarck, ND. We service SkyBells and all types of vidseo doorbells. 701-222-8888

My SkyBell LED light does not turn on (red LED)

  1. Verify that the power in ON at your circuit breaker.
  2. Once the power is ON you should see a blinking red LED light. Verify that you are connected to a transformer that has power from 10-36 VAC 10 VA current to adequately charge the SkyBell. If you have an old transformer, it may be insufficient. Click this link for a full list of recommended transformers. Click link for Power Diagrams.

I Cannot Hear My Normal Doorbell Chime After the SkyBell was Installed

  1. Verfity that the SkyBell is completely installed and synced for your home doorbell chime to work
  2. Verify that your power is turned back ON at the circuit breaker
  3. If your power is ON and you still can not hear your original doorbell chime, haver the original doorbell wires reconnected with new connectors.
  4. Your SkyBell is compatible with mechanical and digital doorbell chimes. A digital doorbell chime will require an additional adapter, which may be sold separately.

There’s a Humming Sound from my Transformer or Doorbell 

  1. If you have a digital doorbell chime, please install a digital doorbell adapter.
  2. If this does not work, please contact us.

My Doorbell Rings Constantly

  1. If you have a digital doorbell then your it will require an adapter to be compatable bith your SkyBell. Your SkyBell will not work with wireless doorbell chimes. If you have a wireless doorbell, you’ll need to install a mechanical or digital doorbell chime. Click here for a list of recommended doorbell chimes.
  2. If you do not have a wireless or digital doorbell chime and still have this issue, please contact us.

Syncing Your SkyBell

  1. If your first sync was not successful, please consider the following and retry:
    1. Give SkyBell 10 minutes to charge the battery. Then re-attempt the syncing process.
    2. Android Users – Log out of the app and the sign back in before attempting to sync.
    3. Confirm you have the correct Wi-Fi Setup
      1. 2.4ghz Band – SkyBell only works on the 2.4ghz band network. If you have a dual-band router, you must create a new SSID for the 2.4ghz network and connect your smartphone to that network before syncing the SkyBell.
      2. B/G Network – SkyBell only connects to the b/g network. If you have an “N-only” router, you must add the b/g mode as well so SkyBell can connect.
    4. Check to make sure that your smartphone is connected to the correct WiFi network BEFORE you attempt to sync. You must connect your smartphone to a 2.4 Ghz network BEFORE syncing to SkyBell. SkyBell does not work with a 5ghz network.
    5. Check your speed. SkyBell requires at least 1.5 mbps upload speeds to sync to the server and 1.5 mbps to initiate a live video feed. Conduct a speed test. If you are below this speed level, please either (1) move your router closer to SkyBell, (2) add a signal repeater or (3) increase your bandwidth/connection speeds.
    6. If the “configuring screen” pinwheel continues to spin, hit cancel in the app. Then go back and re-enter your Device ID and WiFi password. Then make sure SkyBell is still in the blinking red mode. If it is not, press and hold the button until you see a blinking red light. You may need to put the SkyBell device into sync mode each time after a failed attempt.
    7. Check to make sure you entered the correct password for your WiFi network (it can be case sensitive).
    8. Confirm you entered the correct Device ID (found in the packaging and the back page of the user manual booklet).
    9. Confirm that your WiFi network has a working internet connection.
    10. Check to make sure the WiFi setting on your smartphone is on and working.
    11. If the above does not work, uninstall the app and download the latest app from the app store.
  2. In some cases AND when all these items are correct, it can take 3-4 Sync attempts to successfully sync SkyBell. Take note to make sure SkyBell is in sync mode (blinking red light) each time you attempt the syncing process. If SkyBell is not blinking, press and hold the main button until it blinks. This takes about 20 seconds.
  3. If you have satisfied the above checklist and SkyBell does not sync, DO NOT attempt to re-sync many more times. Contact us and we’ll work through specific steps to address your specific issue.

SkyBell Syncing Problems Related to Your Router

If you are having syncing problems, it could be due to your router. Here are common router issues:

  1. 2.4 ghz Band – SkyBell is only compatible with the 2.4ghz band. If you have a dual-band router, you may need to segregate the 2.4ghz band and create its own SSID in addition to having the 5ghz band. Make sure your smartphone is connected to the 2.4ghz band.
  2. B/G mode – SkyBell is compatible with b/g mode. If you have an “N” router, you may need to activate the b/g network.
  3. Speed – SkyBell requires 1.5 mbps upload speeds to work correctly.

Additional Details About Interference and WiFi Speed

  1. Interference – There have been some reports that a closed network baby monitor (non-IP or web based) can interfere with the SkyBell syncing process. Try to avoid syncing your SkyBell with a baby monitor near your WiFi router, SkyBell or your smartphone.
  2. Speed Test – Please conduct a speed test to diagnose if your WiFi connection speed is fast enough.

Using the SkyBell App

  1. I don’t receive any push notifications
    1. Confirm that SkyBell app is included in the active push notifications in your phone settings and you have the proper display format.
    2. If you still cannot receive a push notification, please contact us.
  2. I don’t see my device in the list even though I successfully synced my device
    1. Please log out of the app, completely close the app, re-launch the app and sign back in.
    2. If the device still does not show up in the list, DO NOT attempt a re-sync and contact us.
  3. I receive a push notification but no audio or video. All I see is a pinwheel.
    1. This is likely a network speed issue. Please conduct a speed test to confirm your upload speed is 1.5mbps or above.
    2. If you are above 1.5mbps and still do not see video, please contact us.
  4. I incorrectly tapped the push notification and the app did not load
    1. On most Android and iOS devices, you can tap and drag your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom and see the last SkyBell push notification. Tap the most recent SkyBell push notification. You have 45-60 seconds to answer a push notification before the SkyBell resets./li>
  5. I tapped the push notification and see “another person has answered this call”
    1. If you tap the push notification and the “Call Screen” does not load or you see a pop-up that says “Another person has answered the call”, then too much time passed between when the SkyBell button was pressed and when you answered it or another user answered the call.
    2. If you answered the push notification within 45-60 seconds and you see this pop-up it is because another user answered the call.
  6. Nothing happens after I press the SkyBell button again after a call
    1. SkyBell needs 30 seconds to reset at the end of each call. SkyBell’s motion sensor needs 3 minutes to reset after each time it activates a call. Please allow 30 seconds or 3 minutes for the device to reset after a button press or motion sensor activation, respectively, and try again.
  7. I can’t hear out of the SkyBell
    1. Be sure you are holding the “Hold to Talk”, “Push to Talk”, “Talk” or “Mute” button (button text is different on different phones) the entire time you are speaking into your smartphone. It works like a walky-talky.
  8. I can’t hear out of my SmartPhone
    1. Be sure you are NOT holding the “Hold to Talk”, “Push to Talk”, “Talk” or “Mute” button (button text is different on different phones) while your visitor is speaking.
    2. If you still cannot hear from your smartphone, please contact us.
  9. The video freezes at 10, 20 or 60 seconds
    1. This issue was in revolved with firmware version 35. If you still experience this issue, please contact us.
  10. The “Mute”/”Talk” button does not work the first time I press and hold it (Android Users Only)
    1. This is affected by the difference between Android phone screens. Try to press and hold the middle of the button and it should work.
  11. My login details I used on the website during checkout do not work with the app
    1. The account you created in the cart and your SkyBell app account are completely different. Please create a new account via the app and use your email and password to log into the app. There is no continuity between the website and the app.

Using the Advanced Features

  1. The Do Not Disturb (Silent Mode) doesn’t work
    1. It takes 3 minutes for the Do Not Disturb (Silent Mode) to activate or deactivate after you turn it on or off.
    2. If it still does not work after you have waited three minutes, please contact us.
  2. The motion sensor on/off switch doesn’t work
    1. It takes 3 minutes for the motion sensor setting to activate or deactivate after you turn it on or off.
    2. If it still does not work after you have waited three minutes, please contact us.
    3. *Note: The motion sensor currently has a range of 12-16 inches and requires up to 15 seconds to activate. This is just the start and we’ll expand the feature as we continue fine-tuning the performance of the motion sensor.

Issues After SkyBell Was Working Correctly

  1. SkyBell’s light turned from solid green to blinking green after it was working correctly
    1. Complete a restart of the SkyBell device by hitting and holding the main button for 45 seconds until it starts blinking rapidly. Then let go, allow SkyBell to restart, and then give it 5 minutes. If it is green then you are all set.
    2. If this does not work, power cycle SkyBell by turning off your circuit breaker for 15 seconds. Then allow SkyBell to reset for 5 minutes.
    3. If this does not work, please contact us.
    4. You can also conduct a speed test to confirm your upload speed is 1.5mbps or above.
    5. If your upload speed is 1.5 mbps or above and the light is still blinking green, please contact us.
  2. SkyBell’s light turned from solid green to blinking red
    1. In most cases, this is happening between 18-36 hours after successfully installing, syncing and using SkyBell
    2. Complete a restart of the SkyBell device by hitting and holding the main button for 45 seconds until it starts blinking rapidly. Then let go, allow SkyBell to restart, and then give it 5 minutes.
    3. If that does not work, power down your SkyBell from the circuit breaker for 10-15 seconds and then let SkyBell power back up for 5 minutes. If your SkyBell light is green, press the SkyBell button and see if it sends the video feed.

    Navigation through local files is very similar to navigation through recorded archive, with the following exceptions:

    • Items are not synchronized, therefore Syncis always disabled
    • Files are not live, therefore Liveis always disabled
    • The Timeline does not display colored markers for recorded or motion regions and << and >> buttons jump to the beginning or end of a file

    All other operations (seek, play, pause, fast forward, rewind, etc.) are available as described in “Navigating through Archive and Live”.

    Note: If a layout contains both live streams and local files, the cameras are played back synchronously, but the local files play back independently.

    How to Export Video from Wisenet WAVE

    Files from a single device, Bookmarks, and files from multiple devices that are synchronized for simultaneous playback can be can be exported from Wisenet WAVE. Export is performed in background, so it is possible to continue working with Wisenet WAVE until the export is completed. As soon as export is finished, the video will be available under Local Files in the Resource Tree. If they exist for a camera, Bookmarks are included in exported video.

    IMPORTANT: Exported video will only be available as a Local file until the the current session ends!To make it available permanently, the exported video must be saved to the Wisenet WAVE Media Folder(see “Configuring Media Folders”). Alternately, you can create and save a layout that contains the exported video(s). See “Viewing Exported Video” below for more information.Exported video can be protected with a password that will be required to be able to log in and view exported .nov or .exe files.

    Exported videos can also be exported in read-only mode to prevent modifications to layout and item settingsduring playback. This protects the chain of custody and authenticity of exported video during investigations. If a long time segment is selected for export, the following warning message will appear: You are about to export a long video. It may require over a gigabyte of HDD space and take several minutes to complete.

    The Following File Formats are Supported for Export

    • MKV–Matroska (.mkv) is a more advanced format that may not be supported on some devices (ex: home media players). It does not restrict video and audio content. (Single camera only.)
    • AVI –Audio video interleave (.avi) is more widely used, but the codec remains intact (H264). To view exported videos in other players may require additional codecs. If a codec is not allowed in the AVI format, a warning message will display. (Single camera only.)
    • MP4–MPEG-4 Part 14 (.mp4) is another advanced format that may not be played back on some devices (ex: home media players). It does not restrict video and audio content. (Single camera only.)
    • NOV–A proprietary Wisenet WAVE media file (.nov). Can be opened by the Wisenet WAVE Client only.
    • EXE–A platform dependent (x86 or x64) executable bundle where the Wisenet WAVE Client application is exported with the video file. Used to distribute videos to users who do not have any codecs or media players installed. Can be opened without Wisenet WAVE installed on the computer, but video will be viewable only on the Windows architecture with which video was produced. When the executable is opened, the Client launches and plays the exported video. These files can be edited once exported. Motion detection and data processing in the recorded segments is retained in the export.

    Note: Export is only available to users with the appropriate permissions. Export archive permission is required for any export operation. See “Introducing User Roles” for details. The following options are available:

    • Adding a User Watermark–Adds an overlay of the user login to video to identify the recording source.
    • Validating Exports–Indicates if any modifications were performed to the footage being exported.
    • Read-only –Multi-video files (.exe and .nov formats) can be exported with a read-only option.
    • Password Protected Export–Multi-video files (.exe and .nov formats) can be exported with password protection.
    • Other options (timestamp, logo, etc.) may be added to single-camera exports.

    Export from a Single Camera

    The following option and export overlays are available for .mkv, .avi,and .mp4 export formats:

    • Export Settings – Check this box to apply image filters (ex.rotation or dewarping) from the source recording to the exported video.
    • Add Bookmark Info – Check this box to apply your bookmark description to the exported video, you can change areawidth and font size.
    • Add Timestamp – Adds a timestamp in Long (day of week, date, month, and year, hour:minute:seconds and UTC differential) or Short (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm), ISO8601, or RFC2822 format. Font size is also adjustable.
    • Add Image – Browse for an image (typically a logo) to add to the upper left corner. There are sliders for Opacityand Size.
    • Add Text – Adds the text of your choice. You can set the Widthof the text field and the Font Size.
    • Rapid Review – Exports video at a higher playback speed than the original recording (see “Rapid Review Export”). Video must be at least 10 seconds long for this option to be available.

    Steps To Export a Video Segment from a Single Camera:

    1. Select the desired item(s) in layout.
    2. Use the Timeline to select the desired video segment
    3. Right-click on the selected time segment to open the context menu and choose Export Video
    4. Select the Single Camera tab in the Export Video dialog
    5. Select a Folder where the file will be saved and enter a file Name
    6. Select a file format from the pull-down menu.
    7. When available, you can optionally check Apply Filters or select from the export overlays described above. Note that overlays are inserted at the upper left corner but can be clicked-and-dragged to any other position. Note: Including filters oroverlay options requires transcoding, which will increase CPU usage and export time significantly.
    8. Click Export. A status dialog will display export progress as a percentage. Clicking Stop Export will cancel the operation so that no exported data is saved.

    IMPORTANT: An exported video will only be available as a Local File in the Resource Tree until the client restarts. To make it available there for subsequent sessions, save the exported video to the Wisenet WAVE Media Folder (see “Configuring Media Folders”).

     

    Multi-Video Export

    With multi-video export it is possible to export video and audio from the archives of several cameras or Bookmarks simultaneously (for instance, the last 10 minutes of recorded video from five different cameras).

    Note that it is not possible to playback local videos files in a multi-video export. If a layout includes both cameras and local files, the local files willnot be shown in the ExportVideodialog and will not be exported in the resulting file. Note that if the selection contains empty archive on a given camera,it will be exported and “no data” will be shown when viewing the exported clip.

    The exported filesare saved either in a proprietary format that can be played by Wisenet WAVE (.nov), or as an executable bundle that can be viewed on any Windows computer (.exe). The proprietary format has many benefits in comparison to single camera export. The exported multi-video layout can be navigated, manipulated, and searched like any other layout (see “Navigating through several cameras synchronously” and “Motion Smart Search”). It is even possible to perform multi-video export on a multi-video export.

    IMPORTANT:An exported video will only be available as a Local File in the Resource Tree until the client restarts. To make it available permanently, save the exported video to the Wisenet WAVE Media Folder (see “Configuring Media Folders”).

    Exporting Multiple Items as One File

    To export multiple items as one file follow these steps:

    1. Open the desired layout
    2. Use the Timeline to select the desired time segment
    3. Right-click on the selected time segment to open the context menu and choose Export Video
    4. Select the Multi Video tab
    5. Optionally, you can check Make read-only to prevent the exported video from being edited.
    6. Optionally, you can check Protect with password to require a password to launch and view the exported file (see “Password Protected Exports” below).
    7. Select Hanwha Media file (*.nov) or Executable Hanwha Media File (x64) (*.exe) format
    8. Select a Folderto export to and enter a file Name.
    9. Click Export or Cancel

     

    Password Protected Exports

    Your .exe and .nov files can be protected with a password during export, which will be required to open the exported layout. To apply a password, use the Multi-Video tab of the Export Video dialog and check Protect with password.

    Encrypted layouts are indicatedin the Local Files list with a locked icon.

    Note that the layout remains unlocked until the user session ends unless you choose the Forget Password option in the context menu, which closes the layout so that the password will be required to reopen it.

    Password protected layouts can be changed like any other layout, but to save changes the password must be re-entered, causing Wisenet WAVE to re-export and overwrite the existing file.

    Rapid Review Export

    The Rapid Review feature lets you export video at a higher playback speed than the original recording. (Sometimes this is called “timelapse” mode). When you specify either the export playback speed or length of the video, the correspondingvalue and the Frames intervalwill adjust accordingly. Note that the source video must be at least 10 seconds long for this option to be available.

    To apply Rapid Review export follow these steps:

    1. Select the desired device.
    2. Select the time span you want to export and use the Timeline context menu to open the Export Video dialog (right-click on the newly selected area highlighted in blue).
    3. In the Single Camera tab, click on the Rapid Review button. (It may be necessary to select a different output format to enable thebutton.)
    4. The Rapid Review pane that opens to the right of the preview will show the Initial video lengthof the selected segment for reference. Set a value for each of the following: Exported video length–Enter a desired duration in seconds, where the shorter the exported video, the faster the playback speed will be.Speed–Use the slider to set the speed increase from 10xto the maximum available value. (The maximum speed multiplier depends on the initial video length.)Note: The Exported video lengthand Speedvalues are related. The shorter the length, the faster the playback speed and the higher the frame interval. The slower the speed, the shorter the video and the lower the frame interval.

    Viewing Exported Video

    As soon as export is finished, the extracted video clip(s) will be available under Local Files on the Resource Tree.

    Your AVI, MKV and MP4 files are shown as a single record. Your EXE and NOV files are contained in a folder and willdisplay in a new tab. Single camera and Bookmark exports are displayed as a single item.
