@rickc After 2 years and nothing has  changed, the unit may be fried. I would call SS support, troubleshoot and then, if necessary, have it replaced.

Question for SS: I know if you are on the top interactive 27 dollar monitoring plan, most hardware is covered as long as you continue your plan, but is all hardware covered under the 36 mo warranty? Is that still around? Thanks!

@rickc When reinstalling the Video Doorbell Pro, did you perform a hard reset on the unit? If not, it's worth trying that to see if we can get the unit functioning again.

  • Remove the doorbell from its charging plate
  • Press the small button on the back of the doorbell for 10 seconds and then release
  • Place the doorbell back on its charging plate. There will then be a yellow light as it boots back up

If that doesn't do the trick, please reach out to our support team directly. They'll be able to go over your replacement options with you over the phone. Their contact details can be found here.

@captain11 For Interactive Monitoring Subscribers, there is a limited lifetime warranty on hardware. Other tiered subscriptions do have extended warranty options as well. Our warranty information can be found here.

@wvaughn690​ Have you already tried performing a reset on your Video Doorbell? If not, I would recommend doing so to see if that gets it back up and running. To reset the Video Doorbell:

  1. Remove the doorbell from its charging plate
  2. Press and release the small button on the back of the doorbell
  3. Place the doorbell back on its charging plate. You will then see a yellow light as it boots back up

I also recommend using our in-app Connection Check tool to troubleshoot the Video Doorbell's connection to your Wi-Fi network. This will run a scan on the device and provide additional troubleshooting steps based on your results. For more information on how to use the Connection Check tool, and what your results mean, check out this article in our Help Center.
