VIDEOSNeed help with the installation? Be sure to watch our installation videos which can be found on http://www.doorbird.com/supportEach individual step of the installation is clearly documented in the videos.
INSTALLATION
All steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration any applicable safety regulations. Should you have any questions, please contact us or a competent specialist directly. 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 more 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 happen, i.e. 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.High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fibreNetwork: 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz or Ethernet, with DHCP
STEP 1: SWITCHING OFF POWERSwitch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the door chime, electric door opener, power supply unit, PoE-Switch/ PoE-Injector etc.
STEP 2: DISMANTLING THE EXISTING DOOR CHIMEShould there already be a door chime on the wall, please do not hesitate to remove it.
STEP 3: DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATIONThe device is designed for indoor-use only.Press the drilling template of the device against the wall or ceiling at the desired installation site and mark the boreholes with a pencil. Remove the drilling template again. Ensure that no cables are to be found in the wall or ceiling behind the boreholes.
STEP 4: DOWELS AND SCREWSIf the wall of the house is not made of wood, you should drill dowel holes 5 mm in diameter in the wall according to the drilling template and then place the dowels provided into the boreholes.
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.
If the wall of the house is made of wood, dowels are not normally required. There are special dowels for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g. Fischer insulating dowels.Please check with your insulating material manufacturer regarding which dowels they recommend. Use the Phillips countersunk head screws provided to position it in the dowels or on the wall, so that the countersunk head screws protrude a few millimeters above the wall.
STEP 5: PREPARING THE POWER SUPPLYThe device can be powered by two simple doorbell wires using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied with it or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network cable. The device can alternatively also be supplied with a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us directly. The device does not use battery power.
Option 1: Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)Two insulated wires are required to power the device by connecting it to the power-supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied with it. These wires are normally already there and are freely accessible once you have removed the previous door chime. You can also connect the power supply without any additional wires to the door chime, the power supply has a 300cm long cable with two insulated wires. If you need longer wiring, connect the wires of the power supply using the supplied crimp connectors with the two wires that you want to use for the power supply.
NOTICE:
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 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, usually where the two wires from your previous door chime comes out of the wall in the interior of the house.
Option 2: Power supply via PoE (as an alternative)To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector) 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 WiFi interface of the device is automatically inactive, and the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The device won’t start if your PoE Switch or PoE injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).
- Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
- Place the network cable in the installation site of the device.
NOTICE:Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit(mains adaptor) with the power supply via PoE. You can find further information about PoE here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe
STEP 6: FURTHER CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL)If desired, connect additional wires to the installation site of the device. The wires or connection options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network(Be sure to use four insulated, shielded and twisted wires of a network cable in accordance with the Cat.5 standard or better. Only four wires of the network cable will be used.)
You can connect the device to your existing network via WiFi, or alternatively use a network cable (Ethernet). For reasons of network stability, we principally recom-mend using a network cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields, relia-bility of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless transmitters causing interference in the area, etc.).The device can be powered by PoE or using the power supply unit provided. If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the device remains inactive.Use only a network cable with RJ45 plug that meets the Cat.5 standard or a better one.Connect the network cable to your PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector that is connected to your Internet router. Then connect it to the device.
Conventional Storey-call button (Two insulated wires.)
You can connect a conventional button to the device to realize a separate storey-call. A Storey-call button is typically used if you have more than one door, e.g. street door and apartment door. Please make sure to add no voltage on that contact.
NOTICE: Please make sure to add no voltage on these ports. Extra voltage may destroy the device immediately.
STEP 7: PREPARING THE WIRESRemove about 5 mm of insulation material at the end of the wires that you would like to connect to the device (Power supply, Storey-call button).
STEP 8: CONNECTING THE WIRESIt is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via a connection terminal on the reverse of the device. The individual contacts on the connection terminal are labelled on the casing. You can connect all necessary cables and wires to the device using the connection terminal now. Please remove any cables and wires on the connection terminal 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 screw connection terminal of the device.

STEP 9: FINAL ASSEMBLYMount the device on the Phillips countersunk head screws you already positioned in step 3 and 4.
STEP 10: ACTIVATING THE DEVICESwitch on the power leading to the assembly location again. If you use PoE, make sure to switch on power of the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector you have connected the device to.
NOTICE: Do not power the device simultaneously via the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) and the power supply via PoE.
You can see if the device is powered by checking the Diagnostic-LED, which lights up after about 30 to 60 seconds after the power is connected. The device is ready for operation (booting up process, any software updates, etc.) once it has emitted a short diagnosis sound from the integrated loudspeaker. This may last for up to 5 minutes. Should you not hear a sound, please check the power supply. Please also check whether you have used a wall-plug pow-er supply and not PoE and whether you have connected the positive pole and negative pole to the device correctly.
