DETERMING THE POWER OPTION

Option 1: Battery Powered

If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring at your front door, use the included battery. You are free to determine the location of the doorbell, and the mounting will be easy and quick.
When the battery is low, you will need to recharge it. Battery life varies with use. If you choose this option, please skip to DOORBELL MOUNTING (Battery Powered).

Option 2: Wire Powered

If you have existing and working doorbell wires at your front door, the video doorbell will be constantly powered by these wires. So there’s no need to detach and recharge after installation.

The mounting position is limited. If you choose this option, please skip to DOORBELL MOUNTING (Wire Powered).

DOORBELL MOUNTING (Battery Powered)

Choose a Location

1. 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.
     

2. 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.
