Bought this one because the older version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQ had was really choppy and would disconnect from the wifi ALOT, was not catching everything and every week j had to charge it. So far the picture quality on this one is exceptional. I also bought a solar panel with it so I will see how this all turns out.
Thanks! this helped a lot. All the newer stores like Best Buys and drugstores didn't have any of the right cords to charge it, but I was able to find the right cord in an old neighborhood "electronics store".
The purpose of this video is showing how to charge the ADT doorbell. If you look closely especially at 0.07 I zoom in on the button on the side of the doorbell. Please review my previous respond that I have explained how to detach it. Like you said this step is basic, if this still isn't clear you can also view more videos from other channels.
@@caligirl3000 likely the internal battery has gone bad. If you unscrew the four screws on the back plate and pry it open (sounds a lot harder than it was) it reveals a battery. Mine was swollen … an obvious sign it had gone bad. I ordered a replacement from Amazon. Good to go
The black box behind the doorbell here is actually a battery pack and it should have been charged. With a DBC835 that is wired instead of the pack it should not have to be charged except in extreme situations (very very cold, power loss to home or DB needs to be reset to change Wi-Fi settings)
@@DesertViewStudio I typed that in to Amazon and nothing seems to show up. Do you know maybe which android phones it is compatible with and then I can search that?
@@DesertViewStudio so sorry for all the follow up questions but i kinda need to know the specific model of android phone plss to look it up cuz adt's site has no info at all. if u dont remember that's fine tho
@@TehmenRachel Sorry, I don't recall the exact Samsung Android phone model that I had at that time. However, any Type B phone charger should work. If, you don't own one, you can always get it from Dollar Tree or 99 Cents store if they are available.
The phone charger that I used is plugged in (wall charging). Once the doorbell is fully charged the light will turn green. Hope I answered your question.
@@DesertViewStudio Of course I did that., right after seeing your video clip. Usually, it's faster to skip signing in and finding what you want on their site IF I see a good video.
I don't know how long you own this doorbell. But, here are my 3 assumptions: (1) Poor battery life (2) Manufacturer issue and (3) Wifi connection. Hopefully, this information helpful.
They sold me a device, doorbell, that needs to be charged, but did not provide a charger. I don't have Android devices. This is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I need to go out and purchase a cable without any part numbers........
Yes, I understand your frustrations. I wasn't inform by the ADT service guy either. It was trial and error for me at first but luckily I had Type B charger on hand. If ADT send out the field technician to the resident, they will automatically charge fee, not fair at all when I already pay monthly for the service.
I am having the hardest time trying to find the correct charger for my doorbell camera. I have bought 3 different Micro USB cable chargers and each of them do not work... Can you please provide me a link to somewhere to but the charger? Is there one you can recommend through Amazon that would work?
Sorry that I wouldn't be able to provide you any link. However, the charger that I used came from my old Samsung phone. I don't recalled the model that I had. But, it was a Type B charger. This charger maybe available at Dollar Tree or perhaps 99 Cents store.
Perhaps the current doorbell you have is a manufacturing defect or connection issue when you're putting it back. The first ADT doorbell I had wasn't the greatest. The face cover keeps coming off. If the charging time is getting too excessive you may need to contact ADT customer service.
No instructions necessary. I prefer a video over useless instructions any day. I found this video extremely helpful. Although I fault ADT for crappy equipment that comes with no charger cord and a useless installer who did not explain anything.

To detach the doorbell from base, simply push in the two tiny buttons on the side.
What kind of phone charger did u use? iPhone charger?
I used Android type - B charger.
I just attempted to take mine off. You have to push the tabs on the side down enough that you can take the doorbell face off.
@@Butterflovely Yes, that's correct.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that you get it resolved.
How did you get it off the wall??? I wish you had shown that.
Why would you skip the most basic part of how to remove the camera from the mount?

Exactly, that's why I'm here, and didn't get helped. Lol
Exactly! Show how to remove it
Thank you for this video. It really helped me as I came to the camera with a AA battery to change it 🥴
You're welcome 🙂
How did you take it off
What is the type of replacement battery for the Adt doorbell camera?
I have the same one but it's been charging for over a day and still hasn't turned green
Perhaps there's a defect on the charger or problem within the doorbell itself.
Same here. 2 days of charging and no charge. This is the 3rd doorbell from ADT in 3 years. I'm so sick of it!!!!
@@caligirl3000me too. I had to replace the driveway camera because of so many issues. after my contract I'm moving on from ADT.

Did you have to turn off the toggle switch before charging ?
No, I didn't turn off anything.

Thank you for sharing great tips.
what does solid blue mean? That it is charging?
Is it blinking red or solid blue when charging?
Initial charging you will see blinking red light and at some point, you'll see blinking blue light. Once, fully charged it will turn to solid green.
Why is mine not blinking at all or showing color when charging?
hey what is the exact charger you used? i can't seem to find one that is compatible.
Android type B charger.
@@DesertViewStudio I typed that in to Amazon and nothing seems to show up. Do you know maybe which android phones it is compatible with and then I can search that?
@@tehmenrae The old Android type B charger that I used was for my Samsung phone. Hope this information helps.

Does it really turn green? Mine went from red to blue within seconds
Initial stage is showing blinking red light, midway it changes to blue blinking light and once fully charged it'll turn to solid green light.
Do you charge with it powered on or off ?
The phone charger that I used is plugged in (wall charging). Once the doorbell is fully charged the light will turn green. Hope I answered your question.
@@DesertViewStudio did you have the doorbell device powered On or Off while charging ?
On
What time frame to fully charge door bell?
@@peteryee2487 Approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
How often do you have to charge it
This doorbell was installed by the ADT technician about 2 years ago. So far, I'm changing it once.
How long did it take to fully charge? I live in Canada and when the snow season comes it usually drains the battery for a couple
Months or so
@@iExcaliburWorld Charging time ranging from 45 minutes to an hour.
The ONLY part I (we) need... you skipped. And don't say it's "basic"- there is NO visible tab on mine. Bad post.
Why don't you contact ADT for further assistance?
@@DesertViewStudio Of course I did that., right after seeing your video clip. Usually, it's faster to skip signing in and finding what you want on their site IF I see a good video.
You have to charge the battery every 6 month
Thank you for sharing.
Sounds right I just had to charge mine
Had to charge mine after a year of use
My door bell camera does not stay charge, help.

I found both the cable and adapter for $9.99- (no item #)- search : Charger for ADT/Ring/Aiwit Doorbell Charging Cable Cord and Adapter. Good luck.
Why mine asked to be charged every 2 days 🤦🤦

How do you know it’s charging
Ensure the plug is connected properly. Once fully charged, the blinking red light will turn green.
It’s charging i think? however, there is no light at all.
We could use an explanation. Useless tutorial with no instructions.
Thank you for taking your time and commenting on my useless tutorial. Please take your valuable time and watch someone's else video.

@@DesertViewStudiothat seems to be the only option after this video
