How to use the Digital Door Viewer
The Yale Digital Door Viewer (DDV) gives you peace of mind by allowing you to see who’s outside your door, even at night time. As well as taking pictures of people visiting when you’re not home, it has built in night-vision so you get a clear image even when it’s pitch black outside.
When the doorbell is rung, the Yale DDV will display an image for 10, 15 or 20 seconds, depending on what you set it to when you set the DDV up. The photo will be stored in the memory of the DDV, where it can store up to 50 images.
If you get to the door and the image has gone because of the time set, you can view who’s at your door by pressing the power button – this will wake the screen up again. A photo of each visitor will save to the memory of your Yale DDV with a date and time stamp. There is a micro SD slot should you wish to increase the memory. To scroll through the photo album, press the power button, then the Up arrow to enter the DDV album. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the photos.
To delete images, press the menu button on an image and press the recycle bin button and confirm.
How do I report a burglary and make a claim?
If you believe a break-in has occurred due to the failure of your Yale 3* Cylinder this is the process you should follow:
Call Anglian to notify us of a break-in so we can add this to our systems.
Submit a written claim to Yale.
Yale will then contact us to confirm you are an Anglian customer and within the guarantee period.
Yale and Anglian engineers will carry out an inspection of the cylinder to confirm the cause of the break-in was due to the cylinder.
From here, you will be informed if it was at fault or not. If it is, your claim will continue where we will rebuild your door and Yale will honour their guarantee.
