The Camera button takes you back to the home screen, and the Activity button takes you to a screen with thumbnails for all recorded events. Tap any thumbnail to play the video or download it to your phone. There's also a Guest List button that you can use to invite other users to access the app and videos, and a Settings button that brings you to a settings screen for all installed devices. Tap the doorbell button to manage notifications, enable/disable doorbell sounds, adjust two way audio volume, change Wi Fi settings, and check the doorbell's battery status. By default the View uses the same Wi Fi as your phone, so all you have to do is enter your password, but you can choose to connect to another network. After 45 seconds or so the doorbell came online. At this point, you can view instructions for mounting the doorbell, or skip it if you already know how to do this. I attached the flush mounting plate to the siding by my front door, snapped the View into place, and twisted the locking screw to secure it. Next, I followed the instructions to set up the Chime: I scanned the code on the back of it, selected the room where it would be plugged in, and plugged it in it should be within 100 feet of the doorbell camera. Once I verified that the Chime was powered up, it was immediately paired to the doorbell and setup was complete. The August View Doorbell Camera captures sharp and colorful daytime video at 1440p, and the motion sensor does a fine job of detecting motion with very few false alerts.
