Abstract
Systems and methods provide a notification of a connectivity problem of a video doorbell to a smartphone. A first communication link between the video doorbell and a backend server is determined unavailable, such as when a password used by the video doorbell to access a local area network (LAN) is not accepted by the LAN. A Bluetooth transceiver of the video doorbell is activated and a Bluetooth signal transmitted from the smartphone is detected. A second communication link between the video doorbell and the smartphone via the Bluetooth transceiver is established and a message is sent to the smartphone, via the Bluetooth transceiver, indicating that the password used by the video doorbell to access the LAN is not accepted by the LAN. The message causes an application running on the smartphone to display a notification on a display of the smartphone indicating the communication problem.
