VIDEOS

Need help with the installation? Be sure to watch our installation videos which can be found on http://Awww.doorbird.com/support
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, 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 fibre
Network: Ethernet, with DHCP

SWITCHING OFF POWER

Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the DoorKing® 1812, telephony line, door chime, electric gate or door opener, power supply unit for the Doorbird D1812 IP Video door station etc.

DISMANTLING THE EXISTING FRONT PANEL

Unlock and open the DoorKing® 1812 housing with the original key.

Write down (or take a photo) what pins are currently used to wire your gate(s) / door opener(s) to pin #11 to #16 of the main terminal connector (18 pin jack) on the DoorKing® 1812 control board on the top left (relays control).

The DoorKing® 1812 control board contains static sensitive components. Discharge any static electricity from your hands by touching a proper ground device before touching the control board.
Then unplug all cables between the DoorKing® 1812 control board and the DoorKing® 1812 front panel.

Next remove the three nuts fixing the DoorKing® 1812 front panel to the DoorKing® 1812 housing.

Keep the three nuts and washers. Store the DoorKing® 1812 front panel at a safe place. You may need its keypad if you want to e.g. change the DoorKing® 1812 analog telephone settings at a later time (the DoorBird D1812 keypad PIN codes, RFID transponders etc. can be programmed remotely through the DoorBird App).

PREPARATION FOR THE FRONT PANEL (FLUSH MOUNT ONLY)

APPLIES TO “DoorKing® 1812 Plus Flush Mount” ONLY: If you plan to assemble the DoorBird D1812 front panel to a DoorKing® 1812 Plus Flush Mount backbox, put the metal bar provided on the three bolts of the DoorKing® 1812 Plus Flush Mount backbox as shown on the sketch below. Fix the metal bar using the three nuts and washers you removed previously.

NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS

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.

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. There is a holder with clips on the back of the DoorBird D1812 Main Electrical Unit to mount the DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE- Converter A1071 A8004 conveniently.

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.

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 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 to use 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 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 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-witch/
PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.

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”).

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 (tttts, power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply via PoE.
You can find further information about PoE here: http://Awww.doorbird.com/poe

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

OPTION 3
Power supply using an AC power supply unit

The DoorBird D1812 supports DC power supply units only. The “DoorBird AC/DC Converter A8004” is sold separately if you want to use e.g. the DoorKing® AC transformer “1804-059” to power the

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

The DoorKing® 1812 control board contains static sensitive components. Discharge any static electricity from your hands by touching a proper ground device before touching the control board.
To make sure the DoorBird D1812 can interact properly with the DoorKing® 1812, you must connect them to each other. The DoorBird D1812 provides four different cables for this, where two are DoorKing® 1812 revision independent and two are revision dependent.

DoorBird D1812. There is a holder with clips on the back of the DoorBird D1812 Main Electrical Unit to mount the DoorBird AC/DC Converter A8004 conveniently.

RELAYS

At first you must connect your gate(s) / door opener(s) to the DoorBird D1812 Main Electrical Unit by using the same order as you have removed them from the main terminal connector (18 pin jack) of the DoorKing® control board. See your notes or photo from step “DISMANTLING THE EXISTING FRONT PANEL”.

PHONE LINE & RELAY MONITORING

Connect the cable “Phone line cable (Part #D1812G)” and the cable “Relay monitoring cable (Part #D18123)” from the DoorBird D1812 Main Electrical unit to the main terminal connector (18 pin jack) of the DoorKing® 1812 control board.

INTERFACE CABLE

For the next step you must determine the revision of the DoorKing® 1812 control board. You can find the revision written on a sticker or printed on the bottom right on the control board as marked in the drawing.
It is either “1871-010” (for DoorKing® 1812 Classic) or “1970-010” (for DoorKing® 1812 Access Plus). If you find a different revision, please contact us before continuing with the installation.

OTHER CABLES

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

For easier installation we strongly recommend to remove the plug from 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.

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 door stations are usually installed in nprotected 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 Morice 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 (camera or name tags) 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 door stations. 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 door station 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 demineralised 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 microfibre 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 discolouration, 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.

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 simultanously 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 simultanously 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 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 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.

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.

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.
