The device is a suggested add-on to help lengthen the battery life of your Blue Wireless Outdoor Camera.

The Blue Extender + Chime is not required but is suggested for the Blue Wireless Outdoor Camera to help increase its battery life. The Blue Doorbell Camera can be used with the Blue Extender + Chime if you need to increase the camera’s Wi-Fi signal. (The doorbell camera is not battery operated so you wouldn’t need the extender device to increase its battery life.) The extender also works as another point of sound for the doorbell chime when your doorbell button is pressed.

At that point, your local dispatch center and emergency responders will be in control. The speed of emergency services depends on the dispatch center’s reaction time, availability of responders, and travel distance for the responders. Learn more.
