Whenever I answer the doorbell to speak through the microphone there is a very loud and constant crackling noise emitted through the speaker. It is impossible to speak through the doorbell, the visitor cannot hear me and I cannot hear them over the noise. This has only recently started happening but happens every time I answer through the app.

Hi @CallumB May I ask which troubleshooting steps you have tried so far? I don't want to suggest anything you have previously performed.

Hi
I'm having the exact same problem!
It worked fine for about a month, then it started making a loud noise. It sounds like a looper and distorts heavily. The infrared light has also stopped working at the same time!

What steps did you think I should take? I've tried restarting it a couple of times by powering it off.

Here's a link to a video where I've recorded the problem:

Use the app to go to Settings, Support and then choose your doorbell. Scroll down to Contacts to see what official support may offer including a possible RMA.
