  4. Press the reset button (8) for around 5 seconds until the indicator LEDs (6) blink slowly in blue to show that the unit is ready to use.

  5. Replace the 2 covers, slot the main unit back into the mounting plate and fix securely with the security screw provided.

To pair the doorbell with your smart device you first need to install the App. To find the app you can either search for “XSH Cam” in the relevant App store or scan the following QR codes straight into your smart device:mercury VDB720P- qrhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.ubia.xshcam
    https://itunes.apple.com/cn/app/xsh-cam/id1343116797?mt=8

    NOTE: This device won’t work on faster 5Ghz networks!

  3. Launch the XSH Cam App on your smart device and tap the “Add a device” button, followed by “Setup device”.

If you don’t hear this prompt, press and hold the reset button (8) on the back of the unit for around 5 seconds to reset the device. Once in pairing mode, the LED indicator on the front of the doorbell will flash blue.

  6. Your smart device will now begin searching for the doorbell. To ensure they connect with each other, make sure they are within a 30cm distance and that the volume on your smart device is raised to an audible level so that you can hear the pairing tone (see right).mercury VDB720P- - searching for the doorbell

Wi-Fi Doorbell Features:

  1. There are control buttons on the live video screen to assist you in recording, muting, zooming, and making live voice calls, please see the diagram below for full information.mercury VDB720P- Wi-Fi Doorbell Features

  3. To hold a conversation with your visitor, press the Live speech button (5). You can also record video footage of the conversation and your visitors’ movements by pressing the Video record button (6).
  4. To view the video feed in full-screen mode, rotate your smart device into the landscape position. Zoom in and out by using the pinching method on the screen,  commonly used on most touch screen devices.
  5. The doorbell is fitted with a PIR sensor that detects movements around the unit and sends you an audible and visible notification when triggered. The sensitivity of this can be adjusted in the settings screen. There are 4 options to choose from: Disabled, which turns off the PIR function; Low, which only sends a notification after 7 seconds of continued movements near the unit; Medium, sends a notification after 4 seconds of movement and High, which sends a notification after only 1-2 seconds of movement. When using an internal SD card with the doorbell, the PIR alert function will also begin recording live video for around 30 seconds directly to the unit when triggered.
    Note: When using in a busy or crowded location, it is recommended to disable the PIR function to avoid continuous alerts.

Cloud Storage:

  1. With the device in a sleep state when either the PIR is triggered or the doorbell is pressed, the device will automatically upload 8 seconds of video to the storage cloud. Each device can record 20 events per day and provide a week of loop recording space and Traffic for users.mercury VDB720P- Cloud Storage

Useful Reminders:

  • The device is powered by 2 x 18650 rechargeable lithium batteries. When fully charged, they will provide the unit with up to 6 months of usage (av. 10 calls each day of 30-sec duration). When the batteries are running low on power (5% or below) a warning message will appear on all connected smart devices. At this point, recharge the batteries as soon as possible to avoid the unit powering down and providing no protection.

  • Try to keep the doorbell in good reach of your wireless router’s coverage and try to avoid any blockages by thick walls, ceilings, and doors. Permanent mounting of the device should only be undertaken once a video stream has been viewed and confirmed of acceptable quality.

  • This device is a low-power, intelligent product that supports remote wake-up from connected devices, PIR human detection, and activation by doorbell press. After any of
    these functions, the unit will only remain in a live state for a maximum of 30 seconds, before returning to its resting standby state.

  • Never connect the doorbell to an AC 220V mains power supply otherwise, it will damage the circuitry of the device.

  • There is also an additional plug-in chime available (350.030UK), which can be connected to the same network as the doorbell and smart devices. The chime will be triggered when the doorbell press is activated and can be useful if there are no connected smart devices within the environment at any time.
