  @Wayne-TP Thank you for the reply. Is this also the case with the D225? I will consider purchasing a D225 if its design is different. Thanks so much.  Also, can this feature ever be included with a firmware update? I notice that the doorbell chime is recorded, just not my own voice. Thanks.

  @BRD_NST  This feature works the same on the doorbell models. The doorbell records nearby sounds. When the chime rings loud enough, its microphone will capture the audio.

Feature development and updates are determined by the product department. The forum team does not have access to product roadmap information.
