VIDEOS
Need help with the installation? Be sure to watch our installation videos which can be found on http://www.doorbird.com/support. Each individual step of the installation is clearly documented in the videos.

INSTALLATION

All steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration any applicable safety regulations. Should you have any questions, please contact us or a competent specialist directly. 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. You can also carry out a speed test at any time via the DoorBird App. 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 not older than two years, have been manufactured by a well-known manufacturer, and have the latest firmware installed. Should these requirements not be fulfilled, it may happen, 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.
Requirements:
High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fiber Network: 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz or Ethernet, with DHCP

STEP 1: SWITCHING OFF POWER
Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the door station, door chime, electric door opener, power supply unit, PoE-Switch/ PoE-Injector, etc..
STEP 2: DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION
The Sender and Receiver are IP50 certified (not water-proof). Please make sure to put them into appropriate housing if you want to use them outdoors.
The 2-wire cable between the Sender and Receiver is limited to a maximum length of 80 meters/262 feet.

Attention: When using unshielded wires (e.g. simple bell wire) between sender and receiver, make sure that there are no other current-carrying wires (or other 2-wire Ethernet PoE converters) near the 2-wire cable. Electricity generates an electromagnetic field that significantly interferes with the transmission between sender and receiver, resulting in unstable transmission of network data.

STEP 3: SENDER INSTALLATION
Place the Sender at the end of your network cable (coming from your Internet Router followed by a PoE-Switch / PoE-Injector) and your 2-wire cable begins. Connect the network cable to the RJ45 jack of the Sender and the 2-wire cable to the Port ″1″ and ″2″ of the Sender. Please take care of the polarity of the 2-wire cable (″1″ and ″2″).
A PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector) in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (network cable wires 1, 2, 3 and 6) must be used to power the Sender. You can find further information about PoE here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe
A Cat.5 network cable with RJ45 plug or better must be used to connect to the ″LAN/PoE″ jack of the Sender.
STEP 4: RECEIVER INSTALLATION

Place the Receiver at the end of your 2-wire cable ends. Connect the 2-wire cable coming from the Sender to the Port ″1″ and ″2″ of the Receiver. Please take care of the polarity of the 2-wire cable (″1″ and ″2″). The port ″1″ of the Sender must be connected to the port ″1″ of the Receiver and the port ″2″ of the Sender must be connected to the port ″2″ of the Receiver.
Now connect a network cable to the RJ45 jack of the Receiver. A Cat.5 network cable with RJ45 plug or better must be used to connect to the ″LAN/PoE″ jack of the Receiver.
Connect the spare end of the network cable connected to the Receiver to the device you would like to establish a PoE and network data connection with, e.g. a DoorBird IP Video Door Station or IP Camera.
STEP 5: ACTIVATING THE DEVICES
Switch on the power leading to the assembly location again. Make sure to switch on the power of the PoE-Switch / PoE-Injector you have connected to the Sender.

The Diagnostic-LEDs of the RJ45 jack of the Sender and Receiver should be blinking and thus signaling an established power- (PoE) and network connection. Please check the polarity of the 2-wire cable between the Sender and Receiver and check also your PoE-Switch / PoE-Injector if the Diagnostic- LEDs are not blinking.

DIAGNOSTIC-LEDS

You can check if the Sender and Receiver are properly connected by checking the Diagnostic-LEDs. The Diagnostic-LEDs of the RJ45 jack of the Sender and Receiver should be blinking and thus signaling an established power- (PoE) and network connection.

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.
