INSTALLATION

All the steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration any applicable safety regulations. Please contact us directly or seek the advice of a competent specialist.

Please ensure that all wires used for the installation are undamaged along their entire length and approved for this type of use.

Network speed and network components

  • Please ensure that the upload speed of your Internet connection is at least 0.5 Mbps. The user experience is only as good as your network speed, network stability, and quality of your network components, such as your Internet Router and WiFi access points or WiFi repeaters. Please also make sure that your network components are no older than two years old, have been manufactured by a well-known manufacturer, and have the latest firmware installed.
  • Should these requirements not be fulfilled, it may occur, for example, that the performance of audio and video is poor or push notifications are delayed or do not arrive on your smartphone or tablet at all.
  • High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable, or optical fiber
  • Network : Ethernet, with DHCP

STEP 1: DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION

  • The device should be mounted closely to your existing indoor station.
  • The device is designed for indoor use only. Press the drilling template of the device against the wall or ceiling at the desired installation site and mark the boreholes with a pencil. Remove the drilling template again. Ensure that no cables are to be found in the wall or ceiling behind the boreholes.

STEP 2: DOWELS AND SCREWS

  • If the wall of the house is not made of wood, you should drill 5 mm diameter dowel holes in the wall according to the drilling template and then place the dowels provided into the boreholes. If the wall of the house is made of wood, dowels are normally not required. There are special dowels for mounting the device on an insulating wall, e.g. Fischer insulating dowels. Please check with your insulating material manufacturer regarding which dowels they recommend. Use the Phillips countersunk head screws provided to position it in the dowels or on the wall, so that the countersunk head screws protrude a few millimeters above the wall.

STEP 3: POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS

The device does not have a battery as a power supply, therefore, choose one of the following options.

OPTION 1 : POWER SUPPLY USING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT (MAINS ADAPTOR)

To power the device using the provided mains adapter, 2 insulated wires are required. The power supply unit has a 300 cm long cable with two insulated wires. The network connection is then established via a network cable or alternatively via WiFi.

Only use the power supply unit provided with the device or a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us separately since this has been electrically stabilized and is equipped with an integrated audio interference reduction device. Other power supply units may destroy the device or cause poor transmission quality. The warranty expires automatically if you use a different power supply unit.

OPTION 2: POWER SUPPLY AND NETWORK CONNECTION USING POE (POWER OVER ETHERNET)

  • To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1091), use a CAT.5 cable or higher in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.
  • A CAT.5 cable or higher must be used for this purpose, as network signals can only be transmitted over completely insulated, shielded and twisted cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data line. The device will not start if your PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.

Do not combine the power supply via the mains adapter with the power supply via PoE.

    1. Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
  1. Run the network cable to the installation location of the device.

For further information to PoE see : http://www.doorbird.com/poe

OPTION 3: POWER SUPPLY USING A DIN RAIL POWER SUPPLY UNIT

Alternatively, to the mains adapter, we offer a DIN rail power supply in our online shop, which can be installed by a specialist. The network connection is then made via a network cable or alternatively via WiFi. Please remove the cables and wires from the sockets of the device that you do not need.

Please take care when connecting the cables and wires. Connecting the cables and wires the wrong way may damage the device. Wires without insolation material must not protrude out of the green screw connection terminal, it may lead to electrical short and damage the device.

STEP 4: ACTIVATING THE DEVICE

If the device is to be supplied with power by a mains adapter, plug the power adapter of the device into a wall socket. If the device is to be powered via PoE, switch on the PoE switch/ PoE injector which is connected to the device.
The diagnostic LED indicates whether the device is supplied with power. This LED lights up after about 30 to 60 seconds after you have connected the power supply. The device is now ready for operation.

LED is permanently lit : The device is connected to the Internet
LED flashes every 3 seconds : The device has no internet connection
LED flashes every second : The device has no network connection

After you have connected the device to the power supply, the diagnostic LED turns off within 5 minutes. If the diagnostic LED does not light up, please check the power supply. If you use the mains adapter instead of PoE, check in particular whether the plus and minus poles are connected correctly to the device.

STEP 5: DOWNLOAD THE DOORBIRD APP AND ONLINE CHECK

  • Download the “DoorBird” App by Bird Home Automation onto your mobile device from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You can always find the most up-to-date version of the App manual on www.doorbird.com/support.

If you use WiFi to connect the device to your Internet router (not a network cable), open the DoorBird App and select ” > Wifi Setup“ and follow the instructions.

  • When you have finished the WiFi setup or connected the device to your Internet router via network cable, check on the website www.doorbird.com/checkonline if your device is online. If the device is not online, check the network connection and power supply.

STEP 6: CONNECTION TO THE INDOOR STATION

  • Open the DoorBird App ” > Administration“. In the ”Administrator Username“ field, click the QR Code icon. Scan the QR Code ”App administrator username“ on the enclosed ”Digital Passport“. You will now be asked for the manufacturer and model number of your indoor station. Follow the steps in the app to connect the device to the indoor station.

STEP 7: ADD THE DEVICE TO THE APP

  • After successfully setting up the indoor station, navigate in the DoorBird App to ” > Add user“ and click on the QR Code icon in the App User field. Scan the QR code ”App user“ on the enclosed ”Digital Passport“. The DoorBird D301 is now ready for use.
