A factory reset will reset the August Doorbell system back to default settings. This is typically done when there is a problem that can only be fixed with a reset or if you want to sell or give it away.

Factory resetting the doorbell cam will erase all guest and owner data, restoring it back to its original condition. It will also remove the Doorbell from any owners' or guests' keychain. You will need to start over, and re-setup your August Doorbell Cam.
