Powering your doorbell

Important:
The doorbell allows two different power configurations:

  1. It can run independently on DC power from its built-in rechargeable battery.
  2. It can be hardwired to an existing low-voltage doorbell connection in your home, operating between 12 to 24 volts.

Option 1.
Wire-free, battery-operated (recommended)
Use this option if you are using the battery to power the doorbell, for example, and easy deployment.

  1. Before using the doorbell for the first time, it is recommended to fully charge the battery.

  2. Gently lift the rubber cover protecting the compartment on the side of the doorbell. Insert the USB cable to the micro-USB port of the doorbell and the other end, to a compatible 5V USB outlet.

  3. In order to view the charging status of the doorbell, you must open the application first. The LED on the doorbell initially blinks blue for 10 seconds when connected to a power source. After that, it will turn off completely. For continued monitoring of the charging status of the battery, you must keep the doorbell on and the application open on your mobile device. A solid blue LED on the device is an indication that the battery is fully charged. A ashing LED means that the battery is still being charged. The battery percentage can be viewed through the application by accessing the Power management interface.
    For details, go to Installing the Nexxt Home App on page 11 of this guide.

  4. When the battery doorbell is removed from the tamper-proof plate, the tampering alarm will be turned off by pressing the on/off button for 3 seconds and then turning it on again to initiate charging. These same steps should be followed every time you need to recharge the doorbell battery.

  5. Remove the USB cable and then press down the rubber cover protecting the DC input and SD card slot.

  6. Turn on the doorbell by holding the power button for 3 seconds, located on the back of the unit.

  7. Slide the doorbell into the tamper-proof plate and finish by installing the security screw at the base with the supplied tool.

  8. Battery life dwindles over time due to usages and other external factors, like the environment or user preferences.

  9. The duration of each charge also depends for instance on the activity, number of triggering events, lighting conditions, power, and video settings.

  10. The performance of this long-lasting battery can be extended if you select the settings that demand the lowest amount of energy to operate the doorbell.

Option 2.
Hardwired to a conventional AC connection
This doorbell supports an AC connection of 12V to 24V. Test your wiring to make sure your current installation does not exceed the maximum rating specified.

Electrical shock hazard
Turn the power off at the breaker
Disconnect power to installation area at your circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Always use caution when handling electrical wiring.
Installation by a qualified electrician may be required in your area. Refer to your local laws and building codes before performing electrical work; permits plus professional installation may be required by law. If you’re not sure which breaker controls your doorbell chime, turn off the master breaker for your home or contact an electrician.

  1. Verify that the power to your current doorbell has been shut off and that no voltage is present.

  2. If you haven´t done so, uninstall any existing chime or doorbell.

  3. Loosen the screws of the terminals. Then, insert the end with the ring in each terminal on the back of the doorbell. Re-tighten the screws to secure the connection.
    Note: since doorbell buttons are not polarity specific, either wire can connect to either terminal.

  4. Match the wires coming out of the wall with the terminals on the back of the unit.

  5. Tie the ends of each pair with a wire nut, twist each nut until the connection is secured, and no wire is exposed.

  6. Feed the wires back into the wall.

  7. Turn power on at the breaker to finish the process.

  8. Turn on the doorbell by holding the power button for 3 seconds, which is located on the back of the unit.

  9. Slide the doorbell into position and guide the cables through the rear opening of the tamper-proof plate.

  10. Finish by installing the security screw at the base of the bracket with the supplied tool.

How to insert the microSDTM card

The Wi-Fi doorbell comes with a built-in card slot located on the side of the unit, which supports a microSDTM card of up to 128GB.
Once you insert the storage card, the camera will automatically start recording and storing videos on that memory. This type of card will normally store about one month of continuous video footage.
Step 1: Prior to inserting the doorbell in the plate as described in the sections above, gently lift the rubber cover protecting the compartment on the side of the unit.
Step 2: Insert the microSDTM card. Make sure it is placed in the correct direction inside the slot.
Step 3: Put the cover back by pushing it down with your thumb until it tightly closes the compartment.
