Doorbell Activated Camera

The view in clear and the camera will scan by itself when activated.

Works as advertised. I use mine to monitor my new ring doorbell camera.

This particular doorbell camera has a great lens and very easy to install.

It was available at B&H at a price cheaper than the ... No problems at all getting it activated.

I purchased this unit on the recommendation from the experts at B&H. I was looking for a sound activated trigger to activate my flash unit while by-passing the camera shutter. This unit does it all-laser, sound, light, and RF activated triggering! As I was bypassing the camera and activating the flash via the sync port on the power pack, I knew that I would need a special cable with the correct plugs on each end. The folks at B&H recommended a suitable cable and also recommended cable for my Canon camera. All worked as advertised out of the box. The Captur unit allows you to set the sensitivity of the trigger as well as any delay needed to capture the image at the peak of action. I really appreciate the expertise of the folks at B&H, because as a "novice", I really didn't know where to begin!

This has several modes, including single, continuous, delayed single (timer) and motion activated. The delayed mode is great for taking self or group photos, but unlike the self portrait theres no racing to get into position. One can activate the remote then hide it and the photo is taken about 3 seconds later, with the LED indicating the ready. Just like the shutter on the camera, pressing the remote lightly activates the auto-focus. The remote can also change from single to continuous (be sure to set the camera for continuous) to delay. The delay mode only takes single shots. The trigger mode sets up an IR beam between the remote (which can be tripod mounted) and the camera. When the beam is broken the camera will wither take one shot or continuous pending on the setting on the remote. There are 2 channels so you can have 2 cameras that can be activated independently. The receiver can be rotated 360 degrees so the user can be next to or behind the camera but not have to worry about reaching the end of a cable. Ive used the remote at over 40 feet but you must have the IR receiver facing you (the remote) and ambient light shining into the receiver limits its range. The remote is NOT brighter than the sun and has a fairly narrow beam spread If you want to use a flash (including the built-in) get a flash bracket as this mounts on the hot shoe.

Great picture from this camera and easily activated (using the SADP tool). We have other DS-2CD2143G2-IU cams already attached to our NVR and we knew those cams each produced a quality image.

The Pelco VideoExpert licenses (four camera licenses on one license number in my case) activated easily and quickly, following the Pelco procedure.

We are happy with the doorbell and recommend it to anyone who is looking to get one!

Not sure how they sell them so much cheaper than anyone else but I'm a happy customer....I activated it right away with no problems.
