One of the great advantages of having the Video Doorbell installed at the entrance of your home or office is that you can answer visitors from anywhere, wherever you are, thanks to the Orange Smart Home app.
Once you have done the installation of the device and the pairing of it, you can start enjoying all the functions that your device includes, including the live calls you can make between the Video Doorbell and your smartphone.
Call notifications can reach your smartphone in two different ways:
- Video call: You will see an incoming video call on your smartphone that you can answer or reject.
- Notification: You will receive a message in the notification centre of your smartphone letting you know that someone is calling.
In order to receive notifications, you will need to give the app permission to send notifications, even while in the background.
On iOS devices, the first notification option (video call) will happen whenever the app is open and in the foreground, the second (notification) will happen when the app is in the background or completely closed.
The operation with Android devices is not homogeneous, it will depend on the manufacturer of the device and the version of the operating system of the device to notify in one way or another.
