DOORBELL MOUNTING
(Battery Powered)
Choose a Location
- Take the video doorbell to your front door and check the live view in the app. Choose a location where you can see the desired field of view. Consider the following factors:
- Check if you can reuse the existing holes and anchors in the wall or door frame.
- If you want to place the doorbell near a side wall, make sure the wall isn’t in the field of view. Otherwise, the IR light will be reflected and the night vision will be blurred.
- If you are drilling the mounting holes for the first time, the recommended height is 48″ (1.2m) above the ground.
- To adjust the angle, use the 15º mounting wedge as a supplementary mounting bracket.
- Place the screw hole positioning card against the wall to mark the location. If mounting on a hard wall (brick, concrete, or stucco), use a 15/64″ (5.95mm) drill bit to drill 2 holes through the screw hole positioning card.
What you need : Phillips-Head Screwdriver; Power Drill (15/64″ Drill Bit)

Check the Doorbell Wires
- Ring the existing doorbell to check if it is working. If it doesn’t ring, your doorbell wires may be defective. Power on the doorbell with the built-in battery or consult an electrician to repair the wires.
- Shut off the power at the circuit breaker. Turn the lights on and off to make sure the electricity in your home is properly shut off.
Always be careful when handling wires. If you’re not comfortable installing it yourself, have a qualified electrician to do it.
Detach the Existing Doorbell Button
If you already have existing doorbell wiring:
- Remove the existing doorbell button with a Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided).
- Pull the two wires out carefully when removing the existing doorbell. Straighten the wire ends if necessary.
