  • Remove screws and rubber cover from the back of the metal housing

  • Remove the rubber cover of the MicroSD slot on the left side of the camera
  • Insert the MicroSD card and put back the rubber cover
  • Slide the metal bracket back to its original position.

Camera installation

Whether you have a standard or a digital doorbell, the setup process is the same.

  • Turn off power to the doorbell
  • Remove the existing doorbell button and disconnect the two wires
  • Attach the wires to the terminals on the back of the Video Doorbell
  • Install the Digital Adapter to the door chime as shown below
  • Proceed to the next step below

Note: It does not matter which wire connects to which terminal of the doorbell. It also does not matter which Digital Adapter wires are connected to the Front or Trans terminals. If you have a digital door chime and your doorbell button has an additional diode connected to it, do not use it on the new Video Doorbell.

Mounting the doorbell

Note

  1. Do not mount the video doorbell until you have completed the in-app, connection and have the wiring completed.
  2. It is best to test the camera’s functionality with the app prior to mounting.
  3. Ensure the installation location is free from moisture and wires are not exposed.
  • Install the bracket where the previous doorbell was using the template, 2 small screws, and if necessary, the anchors.
  • Make sure the wires are fed through the appropriate square opening in the bracket. Line up the video doorbell on the bracket and slide down until secure.
  • When installed, turn the power back on. Wait until the LED ring repeatedly flashes 3 times (approx. 90 seconds for the unit to reboot)
