      • Losing access to the camera in the app

      Solution

      If the ClareVideo Doorbell is not in the 15.5VAC to 28VAC range, check the transformer and wires. The transformer may be weak/damaged, or there may be resistance on the wires caused by wire damage. age, or length.

      We recommend replacing the transformer and wiring to your ClareVideo Doorbell.

      Note: Replacing the transformer requires the user of a licensed electrician. The electrician can help further troubleshoot electrical and power issues.
