Outdoor Camera noise

My outdoor cameras always sound like there's a big wind and static. Same for doorbell. Is this a common problem? And is there a fix?

Hi @jochickabee, 

It sounds like your Outdoor Camera may be experiencing the issue highlighted in this thread. Our engineering team is actively working on a solution to this problem to fix it as soon as possible. Once that fix is ready to be rolled out, we will provide an update in this thread letting everyone know. 

Regarding your Video Doorbell, a buzzing sound coming from the device is often a sign that you need a Chime Connector. The Chime Connector works to ensure that your doorbell is getting supplied with the proper amount of voltage. If you reach out to our Support team, they can send you a Chime Connector free of charge.

I am also having this issue with a new outdoor camera we just installed.  Constant background static, not quite the electronic buzz heard in some of these videos.  Do I need a replacement, or has another fix been identified?
