**STEP 1: SWITCHING OFF POWER

**

Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the door chime, electric door opener, power supply unit, PoE-Switch/ PoE-Injector etc.

**STEP 2: DISMANTLING THE EXISTING INDOOR STATION

**

Should there already be an indoor station on the wall, please remove it.

STEP 3: DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION

The device is designed for indoor use only.
Recommended installation height: 160 cm/63 in Recommended installation height for people with impairments/disabilities: 130 cm/51 inDoorBird A1101 IP
Video Indoor Station - figure 8

The mounting bracket may be used in connection with a standard 68 mm (2.68 in) hollow-wall box, which means you do not have to drill separate holes into the wall: You can use the existing screw holes of the hollow-wall box and skip STEP 4.DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station - figure
9

If there is no hollow-wall box at the assembly location:
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.
As an alternative to wall mounting, you can also mount the device on a table stand (DoorBird A8003 Table Stand for IP Video Indoor Station A1101).

**STEP 4: DOWELS

**

If the wall of the house is not made of wood, you should drill dowel holes 5 mm 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 normally not required. There are special dowels for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g.
Fischer insulating dowels.
Please check with your insulating material manufacturer regarding which dowels they recommend.

STEP 5: NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS

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

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 between.

If you have only two wires available at the assembly location, you may use the ”DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE Converter A1071“, 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.DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station - figure
10

OPTION 2: WIFI 2.4 GHz
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.).

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 should install such a WiFi repeater close to the assembly location of the device, typically inside your home and close to the device.

STEP 6: PREPARE POWER SUPPLY

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 (9.8 ft) long cable with two insulated wires. The network connection is then established via a network cable or alternatively via WiFi.

The provided mains adaptor is only capable to power one device. It is not designed to power multiple devices simultaneously.
If you must power more than one device with one power supply, we recommend using a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply (see “OPTION 3”).

Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet.
Only use the power supply unit (see “OPTION 3”) provided along with the device, or a DIN-rail power supply unit 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 power supply unit is plugged into a wall socket inside your house (Step 10), 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, it is for indoor use only.
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.
Please check www.doorbird.com/poe for known incompatibilities.

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

Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply via PoE.
You can find further information about PoE here: www.doorbird.com/poe

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

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.
If you must power more than one device with one power supply, we recommend using a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply.

Planning information to power multiple devices with a single DIN rail power supply unit You must plan the cabling for the DIN rail power supply of the devices carefully if you want to install more than one device in your building with a single DIN rail power supply unit.
The device has a power consumption of 5 Watt and an input voltage range from 15 to 48 VDC.
Each cable/wire has a specific load limit and loop resistance and power loss for physical reasons. The planning of the cabling, maximum number of devices and power supply depends on this. The following information will help you to plan the power supply installation in the building.

Please calculate the maximum number of devices and the power supply carefully, matching the wire diameter and cable length. Wrong calculation and installation can lead to overheating, damage, electrical short, and fire.
The wire diameter is the inner metal core only, not the inner metal core plus the jacket.

Often more than two wires are available on-site for the connection of an indoor station. The maximum current can be doubled to increase the maximum number of installable devices by using two wires for one core. In this case, the two wires must be twisted at both ends. The applied voltage must not exceed 48 VDC.
DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station - figure 11If shielded cables are used, the shielding should be connected to each other.

INFORMATION FOR PLANNERS OF NEW BUILDINGS
If you know how many devices must be installed and you know the length of the cables, you can check the following chart to see which wire diameter is required.
The following scenario is calculated and visualized in a chart under the worst-case scenario that all devices are connected to the rearmost end of the cable in the building. In practice, the devices are distributed more or less evenly over the cable length/floors. ![DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station

INFORMATION FOR PLANNERS OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

The length of the cables in existing buildings is often unknown and can only be roughly estimated. The diameter of the wires and the loop resistance (ohm) are known or at least easily measurable. This makes it possible to determine the maximum number of devices that can be connected to a single wire pair.
The following scenario is calculated and visualized in a chart under the worst-case scenario that all devices are connected to the rearmost end of the cable in the building. In practice, the devices are distributed more or less evenly over the cable length/floors.DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station -
figure 13

The loop resistance can easily be measured by switching off the power supply on the wires to be measured and applying a short-circuit to the lines to be measured on one side and measuring the resistance on the other side of the wires with a multimeter.

STEP 7: ASSEMBLE THE MOUNTING BRACKET

DoorBird A1101 IP Video Indoor Station - figure 14

Lead all cables and wires you want to connect to the device through the mounting bracket. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall.

STEP 8: 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.
For easier installation, we strongly recommend removing the plug from the screw connection terminal while you connect the cables and wires.
Please remove any cables and wires from the connection ports of the device that you do not need.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The device does not power up
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 power adapter was already plugged into a wall socket, check if the cables and wires are correctly connected to the screw connection terminal.
In most cases, removing the cable and wires from the screw connection terminal plug and reconnecting them to the screw connection terminal plug helps (loose contact). If you are powering more than one device simultaneously with one mains adapter, check if the mains adapter is able to deliver enough power over the full cable length.

If the device is to be powered via PoE, switch on the PoE-Switch/ PoE-Injector which is connected to the device. If the PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector was already switched on, check if the cables and wires are correctly connected screw connection terminal. In most cases, removing the cable and wires from the screw connection terminal plug and reconnecting them to the screw connection terminal plug helps (loose contact). If the problem still exists, please check if your PoE-Switch / PoE Injector supports the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, see also www.doorbird.com/poe 

If the device is to be supplied with power by a DIN-rail power supply, switch on the DIN-rail power supply If the DIN-rail power supply was already switched on, check if the cables and wires are correctly connected to the screw connection terminal. In most cases, removing the cable and wires from the screw connection terminal plug and reconnecting them to the screw connection terminal plug helps (loose contact). If you are powering more than one device simultaneously with one DIN-rail power supply, check if the DIN-rail power supply is able to deliver enough power over the full cable length.
The device does not connect to the network via WiFi (”No Network“ diagnosis sound)
In most cases, your WiFi signal is weak. Please perform the WiFi Setup again using the DoorBird App.

You can increase the WiFi signal by using so-called” WiFi repeaters“, which can boost your WiFi signal. You should install such a WiFi repeater close to the assembly location of the device, typically inside your home and close to the device.

If the problem still exists, please check if your WiFi Router/WiFi Access Point does not block the device, e.g. through a MAC address filter.
If the problem still exists, please check if your WiFi Router/WiFi Access Point has DHCP turned on and is able to assign an IP address to the device.
The device does not connect to the network via network cable (”No Network“ diagnosis sound)
In most cases, removing the cable and wires from the screw connection terminal plug and reconnecting them to the screw connection terminal plug helps (loose contact).
If the problem still exists, please check if the network cable is properly connected to your router/switch and if the network cable is not broken.
If the problem still exists, please check if your Router has DHCP turned on and is able to assign an IP address to the device.
The device does not connect to the Internet (”No Internet“ diagnosis sound)
In most cases, your Internet is down or your router blocks Internet access for the device. Please see www.doorbird.com/downloads/ports.pdf

  7. Reproducing or using texts, illustrations, and photos from this instruction manual in any media – even if only in the form of excerpts – shall only be permitted with our express written consent.
  8. The design of this manual is subject to copyright protection. We do not accept any liability for any errors or any erroneous content or printing errors (even in the case of technical specifications or within graphics and technical sketches).
  9. Our products are in compliance with all technical guidelines, and electrical and telecommunications regulations applicable in Germany, the EU, and the USA.

Data privacy and data security

  1. 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.

  2. The data center 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 center is operated in line with the most stringent security standards.

  3. 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, signals 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 misconfiguration 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 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.

Instructions for disposal
Do not dispose of the device with regular domestic waste. Electronic equipment must be disposed e.g. at local collection points for waste electronic equipment in compliance with the Waste Electrical   and Electronic Equipment Directive.
