In some implementations, a microphone aperture 716 is located on a front cover plate 708 of the doorbell camera 106 to allow sound wave to reach a microphone concealed behind the front cover plate 708. A plurality of speaker openings 718 may be located at a bottom rim surface of the device housing 702 of the doorbell camera 106, and configured to broadcast audio messages e. g. , coming
from a remote client device to a visitor near the mounting surface. When the doorbell camera 106 is mounted onto the mounting surface, the speaker openings 718 are not visible from a gaze of the visitor as the visitor is approaching or standing near the mounting surface. Also, the speaker openings 718 may be configured to face
down towards a ground to prevent water and dust from dropping into a speaker box via the speaker openings 718. Given that the doorbell camera 106 includes both the microphone and the speaker, a remote user may have a full duplex audio session i. e. , receiving audio messages from the visitor and sending audio message to the visitor with the visitor via the doorbell camera 106, while reviewing live video streams captured by the camera module of the doorbell camera 106 on the remote client device 220 associated with the remote user.

I immediately went to their website, read through the FAQ, troubleshooting, and support info.
Finally, Z Wave and Zigbee devices use AES 128 encryption, and since they operate in a closed system with a dedicated hub, they offer more security than Wi Fi devices.
