This section will walk you through viewing the live feed, viewing recorded videos, and how to save a recorded video to your local device.
IMPORTANT: Viewing the video feed on your local network does not require any special hardware other than the Wemo Doorbell, a router and a Home app compatible device. If you want to view the video feed remotely or take advantage of the HomeKit Secure Video service you will need a Home Hub connected to the same network your Wemo Doorbell is connected to.
Viewing the Live Feed
Step 1: Open the Apple Home app and locate the tile for your Wemo Doorbell.
Step 2: Tap on the tile to load the camera view. By default, the view will go to the live feed. You can check if you are on the live feed by tapping on the screen and looking for the orange LIVE icon in the lower right corner.
Viewing a recording
If you have a Home Hub connected to your network and purchased an iCloud Secure Video plan, you can set your Wemo Doorbell camera to record videos. The Wemo Doorbell will record 10 second video clips directly to your iCloud account and can be accessed by any of your Apple Home authorized users.
Step 1: Open the Apple Home app and locate the tile for your Wemo Doorbell.
Step 2: Tap on the tile to load the camera view. By default, you will be shown the live camera feed. At the bottom of the screen is the video timeline. All recorded videos will show here.
Use the calendar bar to jump to recordings on a specific date.
Tap to control the volume.
Tap LIVE to return to the live video feed.
Tap this to pause or play a video.
NOTE: Tapping on any of these recordings will begin to play it.
QUICK TIP: The video timeline works just like the timeline in the iOS Photos app. Tap and drag the timeline to the right to view older videos. Double tapping on a clip will expand the clip and allow you to fast forward. Tapping on LIVE will return you to the live view.
How to save or share a video recording
iCloud secure video will store all recordings for up to 10 days or until you run out of storage space. If you have a recording you wish to save to your device, you can do this through the Home app.
Step 1: Open the Apple Home app and locate the tile for your Wemo Doorbell.
Step 2: Tap on the tile to load the camera view. By default, you will be shown the live camera feed. At the bottom of the screen is the video timeline. All recorded videos will show here.
Step 3: Tap on the share button. Tap on the video you wish to share or save to highlight it and then tap the Next button. From here, you can send a copy of the video to someone or save it directly to your iOS device.
NOTE: Tapping on any of these recordings will begin to play it.
