DB7 Video FHD-HiFi Audio WiFi Doorbell
Locating the DB7
Mount the DB7 near the door to be monitored. Use the angle bracket (purchased separately) if needed to better supervise the area.
Powering the DB7
ALLOW 8 hours of charging before full function may be available
Connect the two power wires (recommend 18 gauge up to 30 meters) to the DB7. A wide power supply voltage range can be used (12-24 volts AC or DC, minimum 10W power supply). The DB7 must be able to consume 500 mA and 10 volts at the DB7 connection terminals over the supplied wires. Make sure the wires and length support this power. Connecting to Aux bus wires of the alarm system may not be able to supply the current needed, especially 21-gauge wires or enough Aux reserve.
Power Supply
When connecting the DB7 for the first time to power, the battery must be charged at least 60%, otherwise, not all functions may be available and the DB7 might shut down. Usually, normal operation can be resumed when the battery is over 60% when connected the first time. Usually, with a proper power supply, the DB7 will be ready to test use after one hour of charging or out of the box. Battery indication will be available in the application after about 10 minutes.
Using Existing Doorbell Wires
Existing doorbell wires can be used, but DO NOT connect the DB7 in series with previously installed bell(s). The DB7 may NOT function after the battery will be drained out due to a weak power supply.
Adding the DB7 using Installer Section in BlueEye
Doorbell Configuration
DBC5 Chime Module
After the DB7 is connected, plug the DBC5 into the AC outlet. Press the “Forward” or “Backward” buttons to change the ringtone. To save the ringtone selection, press and hold the “Volume” button for 5 seconds until the beep sound. Next, press the Ring button on the DB7; you should hear a beep from the DBC5, indicating that the ringtone was set. For other adjustments, please refer to the user manual.
