This paragraph introduces the topic of how long it takes to charge an ADT doorbell camera and provides information on the power options and battery life of the device.

How to know when to charge your ADT Doorbell Camera

The ADT battery-powered doorbell comes with a rechargeable battery pack that can be charged using a micro-USB cable. The ADT Pulse app features a low-battery warning and a battery level indicator to help you keep track of your ADT doorbell’s battery life. Here are some ways to know when to charge your ADT Doorbell Camera:

Check the ADT Pulse App

The ADT Pulse app is an easy way to keep an eye on your ADT doorbell’s battery level. The app provides a low-battery warning when your battery’s power is running low, which will send you a push notification when the battery needs to be charged soon. Along with the low-battery warning, the app allows you to see your current battery level so you can know when you might need to charge your doorbell next.

Check the Indicator Light

The ADT Doorbell Camera has an indicator light that blinks red when the battery is about to die. If your ADT doorbell is blinking red, it could mean that the battery power is low or that there is a power issue. If you see a blinking red light, you should charge your doorbell as soon as possible.

Check the Power Supply

If your ADT Doorbell Camera is not recording, it may be due to a power failure. Check to see if the LED lights on your camera are on. If they aren’t, check to make sure that the device is plugged in and double-check the outlet. You can also try power cycling your ADT Gateway and ADT Camera by disconnecting the power supply to both devices for several minutes and then powering them back on.

Check the Cloud Storage

If your ADT Doorbell Camera is not recording, it may be because there is not enough cloud storage space for your captured video clips. Deleting clips regularly should allow for more clips to be stored on the cloud.

Check the Motion Detection Settings

If your ADT Doorbell Camera is not recording, it may be because the motion detection settings are not properly configured. Open the ADT system web interface and check to make sure that motion detection is enabled, the motion sensitivity is appropriately adjusted, and the object size is set correctly.

What to do while the ADT Doorbell Camera is charging

The ADT Doorbell Camera takes around 6 to 8 hours to fully charge. This means that you will need to find some tasks to occupy your time while you wait for your doorbell camera to charge. Here are some suggestions for things to do while your ADT Doorbell Camera is charging:

• Check your ADT Pulse app: The ADT Pulse app is a great way to monitor your home security system and receive notifications about any issues. While your camera is charging, take some time to familiarise yourself with the app and its features. Check your current battery level, adjust notification settings, and review any recent alerts or updates.
• Review your home security setup: Use this opportunity to walk around your home and inspect your security hardware. Ensure that all components of your ADT security system, such as sensors, alarms, and motion detectors, are functioning correctly and properly positioned. Test them to make sure they are connected and communicating effectively with your ADT Pulse system.
• Perform general maintenance: Regular maintenance of your security system is essential to ensure its effectiveness. Clean any dust or debris from your security devices, replace batteries in other security components that may require it, and ensure that all wires and connections are secure and undamaged.
• Update your security plan: Evaluate your current security measures and consider if any improvements or additions could be made. Research additional security devices or features that could enhance your overall home security, such as extra cameras, motion sensors, or smart locks. Develop a plan for any future upgrades or changes you wish to make.
• Charge backup batteries: If you have purchased additional rechargeable battery packs for your ADT Doorbell Camera, ensure they are charged and ready to use. That way, you will have fully charged backup batteries on hand to minimise any future downtime when your doorbell camera needs charging again.
• Tidy up the area around your doorbell: While your doorbell camera is charging, take some time to tidy up the area around your front door. This can include simple tasks such as sweeping away any dirt or leaves, wiping down the door and door frame, and ensuring that the area is well-lit. A clean and well-maintained entrance can enhance the effectiveness of your security system.

Remember, while your ADT Doorbell Camera is charging, it will not be functional, so it is advisable to keep yourself occupied with these tasks to ensure your home security remains a priority during this time.
