How to use two-way talk on Vivint Doorbell Camera with Echo Spot

The two-way talk feature on your Vivint Doorbell Camera allows you to stay connected to your home and communicate remotely with visitors. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature with your Echo Spot:

Step 1: Set Up Notifications

Ensure you have the Vivint Smart Home app downloaded on your device and that you're logged in to your system. When someone presses your doorbell, you'll receive a push notification from the app. This notification will alert you that someone is at your door and provide you with the option to initiate a two-way conversation.

Step 2: Adjust Device Volume

Before starting a conversation, make sure your device's volume is turned up. This will ensure that you can hear the audio from your Vivint Doorbell camera clearly and facilitate a smooth conversation.

Step 3: Initiate Two-Way Talk

There are two ways to initiate a two-way talk. The first is by accepting the push notification, which will open the Doorbell camera view and allow you to start the conversation directly. The second method is through the app itself. Access the live feed by opening the app, tapping the camera icon from the bottom navigation bar, and selecting the thumbnail for your Doorbell camera.

Step 4: Engage in Conversation

Once the live feed is playing, you'll see a microphone icon. When this icon turns black, it indicates that the microphone is ready for use. To speak through your doorbell, press and hold the microphone icon. Release the icon when you're done speaking, and the other party will be able to hear your message.

Additionally, if you have a SkyControl panel, you can use it to communicate with people at the front door. Simply access the camera view through the panel, just as you would through the app, and use the microphone icon to speak.

With these steps, you can effectively use the two-way talk feature on your Vivint Doorbell Camera, providing a convenient and secure way to communicate with visitors, whether you're at home or away.
