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 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. 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 no 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 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 fiber
Network: Ethernet, with DHCP
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 for the video door station etc.
DISMANTLING THE EXISTING DOORBELL
Should there already be a doorbell or door station on the exterior wall of the house, please dismantle it.
DISMANTLING THE EXISTING DOORBELL
Should there already be a doorbell or door station on the exterior wall of the house, please dismantle it.
DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION
The device uses an ultra-wide-angle hemispheric lens so that even when the person is a minimum distance of 50 cm (19.68 in) away from the device, a low installation height is sufficient. The lens is therefore not mechanically adjustable. The camera lens should be located at an altitude of at least 145 cm (57 in). You may check this prior to the final mounting. When choosing the assembly location, consider the lighting conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, direct backlight, and reflective surfaces.
NOTICE
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. The housing temperature can exceed the maximum allowed temperature limit. This can result in damage to the electric and mechanical 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.
NOTICE
An image sensor must not be exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Direct sunlight will “blind” the camera and may permanently bleach the small color filters on the image sensor chip.
Any defects caused by direct sunlight are not covered by a warranty.
The network cable between the device and the PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector/Internet Router can have a maximum length of 80 meters/262 feet (IEEE 802.3).
If you have only two wires available at the assembly location, you may use of 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.
REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL
Remove the front panel carefully using the screwdriver provided with the device from the mounting housing (backbox).

  ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING HOUSING
Assemble the mounting housing (backbox) to the wall. You can find detailed drawings and measurements of the device in the corresponding datasheet. 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.
Mounting the surface-mounted housing
Place the rubber seal for the cable entry on the mounting opening.

Pierce through the middle of the rubber seal using a screwdriver.

Feed all cables and wires that you want to connect to the device through the rubber seal.

POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS

The device can be powered using the DoorBird power-supply unit (mains adaptor) (Option 1) or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network cable (Option 2). The device can be alternatively also be supplied with power using a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain directly from us. The device does not use battery power.
OPTION 1
Power supply using the power supply unit (mains adaptor)
The power supply unit (mains adaptor) has a 300 cm long cable with two insulated wires.
Do not plug the power supply unit into the NOTICE wall socket yet. Only use the original DoorBird power supply unit 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 expires automatically if you use a different power supply unit.
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) in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5 cable or better are to be used. A Cat.5 cable or better must be used 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 link. The device won’t start if your PoE- Switch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).

  1. Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
  2.   Run the network cable to the installation location of the device.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE
It is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via labeled connection ports. 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. Remove about 5 mm of insulation material at the end of the wires that you would like to connect to the green screw connection terminal of the device.
Please take care when connecting the cables NOTICE and wires. Connecting the cables and wires the wrong way may damage the device. Wires without insolation material must not protrude out of the green screw connection terminal, it may lead to electrical short and damage the device.
The yellow, green, and red cables that lead NOTICE out from the side of the Main Electrical Unit must only be used to connect components certified by Bird Home Automation.

Handle the front panel with care. The surface of the front panel could be scratched or otherwise damaged if handled without care.
You can use the nylon cord to temporarily fix the front panel to the mounting housing (backbox) while connecting the cables and wires to the device.
Only related for devices with call button(s) Each Call Button is equipped with one jack.

MAINTENANCE FOR DOOR BIRD PRODUCTS
Cleaning and maintenance instructions
All DoorBird door stations are made of high-quality materials and are designed for a durable lifetime. Since door stations 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.
NOTICE
Never use abrasive detergents such as steel wool or scouring milk! Warm water is usually sufficient, if necessary with a little detergent, 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 discoloration after the maintenance.
Stainless Steel
Only high-quality German 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 the passive layer), which covers the iron-like 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 a 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 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 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

  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 misuse 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.
