Re: Smart doorbell
Notice you have the doorbell near to the Chime, which helps a lot.
Three bars is generally a good signal.
A small movement of the Chime can help a lot. Do make sure the Chime is in the open and if you can have it with the clearest line of site between the Chime and doorbell. Yes, there will be a wall, but try and avoid having any furniture in that line.
For your battery loss, try some of the following:
A lot of live viewing can reduce the battery life.
In the app for the doorbell, reduce the length and time between the recordings.
Also make sure your activity zone is set to as best a defined area as you can get;
More on battery help;
It does not always record everything, sometimes it will just show an alert of an event.
