Each individual step of the installation is clearly documented in the videos.

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 that push notifications are delayed or not delivered to your mobile device.

Requirements:
High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fibre
Network: Ethernet, with DHCP

SWITCHING OFF POWER

Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, e.g. power supply for the device or an electrical door opener.

DISMANTLING THE EXISTING ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE

Should there already be an access control device on the exterior wall of the house, please remove it.

DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION

Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
The housing temperature can exceed the maximum allowed temperature limit. This can result in damage of electric and mechanic components of the device and injuries especially when touching exterior parts of the device. White and bright silver-colored front plates absorb less sunlight than dark ones.

Symbols used Any defects caused by direct sunlight are not covered by warranty

Important note for cavity mounting (e.g. in pedestals and mailboxes):

To protect the electronic units, please ensure that the technical components are protected against dripping and running water caused by condensate or entering the mounting space through openings.

To protect the electronic units, ensure that the mounting space inside is not accumulating water.

Sufficient air circulation must be ensured, as well as unobstructed drainage of water at the base of the installation.

Failure to do so will result in warranty being declined.

ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING HOUSING

The product is available as a surface-mounted, flush-mounted and retrofit version. In the flush-mounted version, the front panel is slightly larger to better cover the hole in the wall, and the mounting housing (backbox) is made entirely of metal instead of plastic.

In the retrofit version, the front panel is slightly larger to better cover the hole in the existing panel and the mounting is not realized with a separate mounting housing (backbox) but with metal clamps.

Flush-mounted model
Retrofit model

If the wall of the house is not made of wood, you should drill dowel holes 5 mm (0.19 in) in diameter in the wall according to the drilling template and then place the dowels provided into the boreholes.

If you must drill holes in a wall, insert screws into a wall or lever up a wall, ensure that no cables or mains (gas, water, etc.) are to be found in the wall.

If the wall of the house is made of wood, dowels are not normally required. There are special dowels for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g. Fischer insulating dowels.

DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT PANEL
(APPLIES ONLY TO THE SURFACE-MOUNTED AND FLUSH-MOUNTED MODEL)

Remove the front panel with the attached Main Electrical Unit carefully from the mounting housing (backbox) using the orange (Torx+Pin) screw driver provided.

Symbols used We have designed the front panel and the safety screw in a way that it cannot be screwed through the front panel so that is does not fall off / get lost during installation..

Flush-mounted model
Surface-mounted model

Turn the safety screw counter-clockwise until it is loose. Pull the front panel with attached Main Electrical Unit out of the mounting housing (backbox).

MOUNTING

Lead all cables and wires you want to connect to the device through the mounting housing (for retrofit version: through the hole in the existing panel).

Flush-mounted model
Please make sure that the outer frame of the flushmounted housing rests on the outside of the wal and that the edge of the flush-mounted housing is sealed all around against moisture from the outside.
Surface-mounted model
Before mounting: Pierce through the middle of the rubber seal for the cable entry using a screwdriver.

NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS

You can connect the device to the network by either using a WiFi 2.4 GHz connection or a network cable.

OPTION 1
Network cable (recommended, maintenance free)

Install a network cable (which is plugged into a network switch / router with Internet access) from the inside of your building to the assembly location. The network cable between the assembly location and the network switch / router can have a maximum length of 80 m/262 ft (IEEE 802.3). If you must span a distance of more than 80 meters/262 feet you can put a network switch in between. Make sure to use a high-quality Cat.5 network cable or better and with proper shielding (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP or SFTP)) whereby the shield is connected to the outer metal shield of the RJ45 plug (8P8C).

The device itself does not have an RJ45 socket. The scope of delivery includes an RJ45 adapter that can be routed out of the housing. As an alternative, the RJ45 connector of the network cable can be removed on the device side to connect the wires directly to the Phoenix strip according to the assignment under point 7 „CONNECTING THE DEVICE“.

If you have only two wires available at the assembly location, you may use the “DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE ConverteA1071”, sold separately. It allows you to transfer network data (Ethernet) and power (PoE) with a simple two-wire cable over long distances. For example, existing buildings with a simple two- wire bell wire can be equipped with network technology without having to retrofit any network cables.
NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS

Symbols used For reasons of network stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields, reliability of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless transmitters causing interference in the area, etc.).

OPTION 2
WiFI 2.4 GHz

When using WiFi please make sure you have a good WiFi signal at the assembly location of the device. You can increase the WiFi signal by using so called “WiFi repeaters”, which can boost your WiFi signal. You shoul install such a WiFi repeater close to the assembly location of the device, typically inside your home and close to the device.

For further information regarding WiFi installations, please visit www.doorbird.com/wifi

PREPARE POWER SUPPLY

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

OPTION 1
Power supply using the power supply unit (mains adapter)

To power the device using the provided mains adapter, 2 insulated wires are required. The power supply unit has a 300 cm (9.8 ft) long cable with two insulated wires. The network connection is then established via a network cable or alternatively via WiFi.

Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet.
Only use the power supply unit provided along with the device, or a DIN-rail power supply unit (see “OPTION 3”) that you can obtain from us separately, since this has been specially stabilized electrically 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 automatically expires if you use a different power supply unit.

The provided mains adapter is only capable to power one device. It is not designed to power multiple devices simultanously.

Symbols used If you must power more than one device with one power supply, we recommend to use a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply (see “OPTION 3”).

The power supply unit is plugged into a wall socket, usually where the two wires from your assembly location come out of the wall in the interior of the house.

The provided mains adapter is not outdoor-ready and for indoor-use only

Symbols used If you must power more than one device with one power supply , we recommend to use a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply (see “OPTION 3”).

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 PoEInjector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1093), 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 PoESwitch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.

Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adapter) with the power supply via PoE.

You can find further information about PoE here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe

Symbols used

Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
Place the network cable in the installation site of the device.

Symbols used Theoretically (not recommended by us!), an unshielded, but over the whole length (max. 80 m/262 ft) twisted bell wire with two pairs of wires (first twisted pair of wires: “T+, T-”, second twisted pair of wires “R+, R-”) can be used for the network and PoE transmission as an alternative to a Cat.5 network cable or better. This is comparable to a Cat.3 network cable. In this case, however, we cannot guarantee the data throughput or the stability of the network connection and power supply; this must be measured and checked on site by qualified personnel over several hours (network data is transmitted at high frequency, therefore a shielded Cat.5 network cable twisted in pairs or better must normally be used).

OPTION 3
Power supply using a DIN rail power supply unit

Alternatively to the mains adapter, we offer DIN rail power supplies 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.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

It is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via the labeled screw connection terminal. You can connect all necessary cables and wires to the device now.

Please remove any cables and wires from the connection ports of the device that you do not need.

The product comes with a disassembly tool that allows you to safely remove the connector from the screw terminal socket. Please do not use any other tool, e.g. a screwdriver, as this may damage the circuit board of the device.

MAINTENANCE OF THE FRONT PANEL

Cleaning and maintenance instructions
All of our front panels are made of high-quality materials and are designed for a durable lifetime. Since this kind of devices are usually installed in unprotected outdoor areas, they are exposed to adverse weather conditions and aggressive substances, especially close to frequently used roads, in coastal and industrial areas. Therefore, please consider the following care instructions. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for damage if these instructions are not being observed. Aggressive dirt such as bird droppings should be removed as quickly as possible.

Aggressive stains such as bird droppings should be removed as soon as possible.

Never use abrasive detergents such as steel wool or scouring milk!

Warm water is usually sufficient, if necessary with a little detergent, a soft cloth or brush. Plastic parts must not be treated with metal care products.
Remove all residues of cleaning agents or lubricants to avoid stains or discolouration after the maintenance.

Stainless Steel
Only high-quality stainless steel is used for all available DoorBird devices. However, high-quality stainless steel can also rust, as approx. 70 % of stainless steel is made of iron. Rust resistance is only achieved by a protective layer (also called passive layer), which covers the iron like a skin. This protective layer consists essentially of chromium and other precious metals.

Iron particles, grinding dust and chips deposited on stainless steel can lead to corrosion (rust film). These iron particles can be found everywhere, but especially in coastal and industrial areas and close to frequently used roads. Please remove ferrous deposits immediately, as they will attack your device and lead to real rust if not removed. To remove rust, simply wipe off the dust; in addition, a care product is recommended, e.g. WD 40, available e.g. at Amazon for less than € 5.00. Simply apply in a thin layer and rub in. The same applies if rust appears on the engravings on the stainless steel surface.

Cement or lime splashes should be carefully removed as soon as possible with a wooden spatula before hardening.

The following cleaning detergents are not to be used as they reduce corrosion resistance:

products containing chloride and hydrochloric acid
Bleach (in case of accidental use, rinse thoroughly with water) Silver polish

After the cleaning with clear water wipe with damp cloth and rub dry to avoid lime traces. Lime residues can be avoided by using demineralized water.

Stainless steel PVD coated

PVD coated, chrome-plated or gold-plated surfaces are recommended to be cleaned with a grease dissolving detergent and clear water or with a clean and dust-free microfiber cloth. For high-gloss surfaces, use a scratch-free cloth (e.g. cleaning cloth for glasses, furniture polishing cloth, etc.).

Lacquered surfaces

Clean painted surfaces and lettering with a soft, scratch-free cloth moistened with a mild soap solution (e.g. cleaning cloth for glasses, furniture polishing cloth, etc.). To prevent stains or discoloration, the detergents should be wiped off without leaving any residue. Be particularly careful with lettering in order not to damage the film or the print.

Data privacy and data security

For maximum security, the device uses the same encryption technologies as are used in online banking. For your security, no port forwarding or DynDNS is used either.
The data centre location for remote access over the Internet by means of an App is obligatory in the EU if the determined Internet IP-Address location of the device is within the EU. The data centre is operated in line with the most stringent security standards.
Video, audio and any other surveillance methods can be regulated by laws that vary from country to country. Check the laws in your local region before installing and using this device for surveillance purposes.

If the device is a door-, indoor station or camera:

In many countries video and voice signal may only be transmitted once a visitor has rung the bell (data privacy, configurable in the App).
Please carry out the mounting in such a way that the detection range of the camera limits the device exclusively to the immediate entrance area.
The device may come with a visitor history and motion sensor. You can activate/deactivate this function if required.

If necessary, indicate the presence of the device in a suitable place and in a suitable form.
Please observe any relevant country-specific statutory regulations concerning the use of surveillance components and surveillance cameras applicable at the installation site.

Check with the property owner and your house community if you are allowed to install and use this product. Bird Home Automation GmbH cannot be held responsible for any miss-use or miss-configuration of this product, including the unauthorized opening of a door. Bird Home Automation cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper existing installations or improper installation.

Software and operating system’s updates (so-called “firmware updates”) are generally automatically installed on the products of Bird Home Automation GmbH via Internet, if technically possible. Automatic firmware updates keep the products‘ software up to date so that they always work reliably, safely and efficiently. Through further development, features can be added, extended or slightly changed. Major changes or limitations to existing features will generally occur if Bird Home Automation GmbH deems it necessary (e.g. for data protection, data security or stability reasons, or to keep them up to date). When a firmware update is available, Bird Home Automation GmbH‘s servers generally automatically distribute it to all compatible products connected to the Internet or Bird Home Automation GmbH‘s servers. This process is gradual and can take several weeks. As soon as a product receives a firmware update, the system will be installed and will restart by itself. Installed firmware updates cannot be undone. Since the products and software of Bird Home Automation GmbH are not explicitly customer-specific products, a customer cannot deny an automatic update if the product is connected to the Internet or to the Bird Home Automation GmbH’s server.
