What is the video doorbell and how does it work?

A video doorbell is a smart doorbell with a small camera built in. It connects to your home Wi-Fi and your smartphone.

When someone comes to your door:

  • It can see movement or when someone presses the bell.

  • It sends a message to your phone right away.

  • You can see and talk to the person using the mygate app, even if you’re not at home.

  • It also saves short videos so you can watch them later.
    Note: It also allows you to save short videos for later viewing, with the data stored in your account based on your plan.
