Video Doorbell Installation

Determining The Power Option

Option 1 – Battery Powered

1. If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring at the front door, use the built-in battery. You are free to determine the doorbell position and the mounting is easy and quick.
2. When the doorbell battery level is low, you need to detach and charge it.

Note: The battery life varies depending on usage. In most common cases, a doorbell may have up to 10 events per day and each recording lasts 20 seconds on average. Under this scenario, the doorbell battery life can last up to 6 months.

Option 1 -Battery Powered

Step 1 Find a Mounting Spot

Take the video doorbell to your front door and check the live view on the App at the same time. Find a location where you can get the desired field of view.

Consider the below factors

1. Check if you can reuse the existing holes and anchors on the wall or door frame.
2. If you want to place the doorbell close to a side wall, make sure the wall doesn’t show up in the field of view. Otherwise IR light will be reflected and night vision will become blurry.
3. If you are drilling the mounting holes for the first time, the recommended mounting height is 48″ / 1.2 m from the ground.
4. Use the 15° mounting wedge as a supplementary mounting bracket if you wish to see more on a specific side. Place the Screw Hole Positioning Card against the wall to mark the position.

Step 2 Mounting The Bracket

• Mount the Doorbell on a Wooden Surface If you’re mounting the doorbell on a wooden surface, you don’t need to pre-drill pilot holes. Use the provided screws to secure the Mounting Bracket on the wall,
• The Screw Hole Positioning Card indicates the position of the screw holes.
• What is required: Screwdriver, Mounting Bracket, 15° Mounting Wedge (Optional), Screw Packs.

What is required

Step 3 Mounting the Doorbell

• Mount the Doorbell
• Align the doorbell on top and then snap it on the bottom.
• Press it down until it clicks into place.

You’re all set!
If you want to detach the doorbell or recharge it, please refer to the following sections.

Detach the Doorbell

1. Use the doorbell detaching pin provided if you wish to detach the doorbell from the Mounting Bracket.
2. Press and hold the hole on the bottom of the doorbell and then lift its bottom to take it off.

What is required

Recharge the Doorbell

Option 2 – Doorbell Wire Powered

1. If you have existing and working doorbell wiring at the front door, the doorbell will be powered by the wires constantly. So you don’t need to detach and charge it after installation.
2. Since the doorbell is connected to the wires, the mounting position is limited.
3. If you choose this option, please jump to Appendix 2 Powering the Doorbell with Doorbell Wires.

Step 1 Verify whether the doorbell wires are working

1. Ring the existing doorbell to check if it is working. If the doorbell doesn’t ring, your doorbell wires may be defective. Power the doorbell on its own battery or consult an electrician to fix the wires.
2. Shut off power at the breaker. Turn the lights on and off in your home to make sure the electricity in your house is properly shut off.

Note

• Always be careful when handling electricity wiring.
• If you’re not comfortable to do it yourself, do consult a qualified electrician.

Step 2 Detach the Existing Doorbell Button

If you already have existing doorbell wiring:

1. Remove the existing doorbell button with a Phillips-Head screwdriver.
2. Pull the two wires out carefully when removing the existing doorbell. Straighten the wire ends if necessary.

What is required

Step 3 Find a Mounting Spot

1. Determine the mounting position of the doorbell. Consider the below factors:

• Check if you can reuse the existing holes and anchors on the wall or door frame.
• If you are drilling the mounting holes for the first time, the recommended mounting height is 48″ / 1.2 m from the ground.
• Use the 15° mounting wedge as a supplementary mounting bracket if you wish to see more on a specific side.

1. Place the Screw Hole Positioning Card against the wall to mark the position.

Step 4 Mount the Bracket

If you’re mounting the doorbell on a wooden surface, you don’t need to pre- drill pilot holes. Use the provided screws to secure the Mounting Bracket on the wall. The Screw Hole Positioning Card indicates the position of the screw holes.

What is required

If you’re mounting the doorbell on a surface made out of hard materials, like brick, concrete, stucco:

• Drill 2 holes through the Screw Hole Positioning Card with 15/64″(6mm) drill bit.
• Insert the provided anchors, and then use the provided long screws to secure the Mounting Bracket on the wall.

What is required

Step 5 Connect the Doorbell Wires to the Doorbell

Connect the wires to the terminals at the back of the doorbell, then tighten the terminal screws. Wire can connect to any terminal.

Note

• To prevent short-circuit, make sure the wires are not touching each other after connecting them to the terminals.
• If the wires are too short, use the extension wires and wire nuts provided to make them longer. Use electrical wiring tape instead if there is no more space on the wall for wire nuts.

What is required

Step 6 Mount the Doorbell on the Bracket

• Align the doorbell on top and then snap it on the bottom.

Step 7 Restore Power

• Switch the master circuit breaker back to ON.
• You’re all set!
