SVR and ADC-VDB770 doorbell

[rldovejr (Ron)]

Hi, I just installed a ADC-VDB770 and don’t see an option to add a schedule for it to my SVR. Is this a bug, or is it not possible to record doorbell footage to the SVR? Thanks

The VDB770 doorbell cannot record to the 24/7 SVR at this time. There are no 24/7 recording options for the doorbell currently.

Thanks for the response. That’s a bummer. Maybe I missed it, but they sure don’t communicate that detail very well.

And the only recording rule that can be set up is if someone rings the doorbell? Wow! This thing is going back. What a piece of garbage

Yeah thanks. Cliff notes: there are much better doorbells with better features for similar price. Not worth it until they allow SVR recording and more than one video analytics rule.
