SkyBell retired this service.

We are now without a possible way to stream our front door. What a waste of time this was. It wasn’t cheap. By removing service to earlier models the company hopes to get you to buy a newer model. What a joke. Nothing preventing the app from just existing for customers. So disappointing.

Watch live 😡

On the new skybell app it kicks you back to the phone home screen whenever you click on it. Have deleted app and reinstalled - still the same. What is the sense of have a camera doorbell if you cannot access live video

This app is trash and so is the support. I’m switching as soon as I get time.
