4. Mounting / installation
IMPORTANT!
The camera must be disconnected from the power supply during installation.
4.1. PPIC32020
Position the mount where you intend to install the camera. Mark up and drill the required holes.
Next, use the screw anchors and screws provided to fasten the mount in place.
Attention!
Make sure the alignment is correct. The 'LOCK' text must point in the direction of the
scene to be monitored.
Use the small screws provided to fasten the base plate to the camera.
Position the camera with the base plate on the mount in such a way that the arrow on the base plate is
aligned with 'UNLOCK' on the mount. Next, fix the camera in place by turning the camera clockwise.
The arrow must be aligned with 'LOCK'.
4.2. PPIC32520
If the camera is being installed on a roughcast wall, use the EVA foam provided and glue it to the back
of the mount.
First of all, disconnect the mount from the camera using the Allen key provided. Position the mount
where you intend to install the camera. Mark up and drill the required holes. Insert the screw anchors
provided.
Reconnect the camera to the mount and feed the cable through the mount. Next, screw the camera
and mount to the wall.

12
English
Cabling tips
If you do not have the option of feeding the cable through the wall, the following alternatives are
available:
1. Cable duct:
Feed the cable downwards and out from the mount. Use a cable duct (width at least 40 mm,
depth at least 30 mm) to protect the laid cable.
2. Surface-mounted box:
Use a surface-mounted box (width and height at least 105 mm, depth at least 35 mm) and drill a
hole into the box's cover so that the network cable and power cable can be fed into the surface-
mounted box. Next, install the camera and mount on the cover of the surface-mounted box. Install
the surface-mounted box in the desired installation location and screw the cover in place together
with the camera.
4.3. PPIC34520
Position the mount where you intend to install the camera. Mark up and drill the required holes.
Next, use the screw anchors and screws provided to fasten the mount in place.
Next, install the camera on the mount by screwing the camera clockwise on to the thread. As soon as
the camera is fully screwed into position, lock the camera further into place by tightening the wing nuts
from underneath.
For alignment purposes, loosen the wing screw at the side and align the camera in the desired position.
Next, lock the camera into place once more by tightening the wing screw.

4.4. PPIC35520
This intercom is particularly well suited to retrofitting. It can usually be wired using the existing cabling
if the existing doorbell is replaced. Use an ammeter to check whether there is sufficient voltage in the
existing cables. Otherwise, the power supply will have to be installed separately. You will find further
details and illustrations of the exact wiring below.
4.4.1. Mounting plate
First, separate the mounting plate from the door station. Place the mounting plate in the desired
installation location, and mark and drill the required holes. For the best field of view, we recommend an
installation height of at least 1.3 m (4.25 ft). Insert the screw anchors provided. Next, run the existing
or replacement cabling through the ring opening on the mounting plate. We recommend you use the
rubber ring provided for better protection against water and other fluids. Perforate the ring at the
specified points in order to run the cable through, and place the ring in the ring-shaped opening in the
mounting panel. Then use the screws provided to fix the mounting plate in place.
4.4.2. Preparation
When shipped from the factory, the door station is connected to the call button cover, the call button
pressure plate and the cover. To continue installation, first remove the call button cover, then the call
button pressure plate. To remove the cover, exert a little pressure on the call button area, which should
now be easily accessible, and pull the cover upwards and away from the door station

14
English
4.4.3. Cabling
Should you wish to use the intercom with the accessories provided, connect the power supply by
connecting the two wires from the mains power cable to the connector block. Connect the red wire to
DC+ and the black wire to DC- by pressing down the relevant pin and inserting the cable. Finally,
connect the power supply unit provided to the power supply cable.
If you wish to use cabling from an existing doorbell, or if you want to connect the intercom to
an additional actuator (e.g. a door opener) or to an LAN network, use the wiring diagrams below to
guide you.
Establishing a power supply using existing cabling
In order to supply power via existing cabling, you will need to have at least one pair of wires available.
These might come from an additional power supply unit or from the bell transformer (1). Use an
ammeter to check whether there is sufficient voltage available, and connect the wires to the connection
block V-/V+. When working with DC voltage, please observe the correct polarity.

15
English
Connecting an external doorbell and / or an actuator (e.g. door opener)
To connect an existing doorbell or actuator via existing cabling you will need to have at least two
pairs of wires available. These might come from an additional power supply unit or from the bell
transformer (1). Use an ammeter to check whether there is sufficient voltage for the power supply.
Important!
Be careful not to exceed the maximum voltage for the relay
Connect the first pair of wires to the connector block V-/V+. When working with DC voltage, please
observe the correct polarity.
Connect one of the second pair of wires to the doorbell and / or actuator and the other to the connector
block (C1/B1). Connect a separate wire to the doorbell and / or actuator and the connector block (C2/B2).
Safety notice on use of a door opener
The relay (B2/B1) is a simple potential-free relay. It can be triggered manually by pulling
off the intercom and connecting the wires manually. We therefore advise you not to use
this relay for a door opener connected to the outside doors of your home. Should you still
wish to connect it, please ensure that your outside doors are locked whenever you leave
the house.
Connecting to an LAN network
In order to connect the intercom with a network cable, use either the network connector cable provided,
an existing cable, or another free network cable. Connect the cable to the network connector block
according to the colour-coding below.

4.4.4. Adjustable lens
The door station’s lens can be adjusted on the back by up to 7.5 % vertically and 2.5 % horizontally.
To adjust the lens, loosen the screw using the triangle screwdriver provided. We recommend you first
connect your intercom to the App2Cam Plus on your network before final installation in order to ensure
it is perfectly positioned. Fix the position of the lens by tightening the screw on the rear of the bracket
using the triangle screwdriver.
4.4.5. Final installation
To complete installation, unscrew the aerial from the door station and mount the door station on the
mounting plate using the triangle screwdriver and the four triangular screws provided. Screw the aerial
back on to the door station and affix the cover to the door station. Finally, replace the call button
pressure plate and the doorbell cover.

network (router) before connecting the camera to the power.
Open the app and select option 2 to set up the camera on your LAN network.
Enter a name for your camera.
Use the 'Search' button to search for the camera on the network or enter the camera's DID manually.
You now need to enter the camera's standard security code, '123456'. If the camera has already been
set up, enter the security code previously assigned to the camera.
Press the 'Save' button to add the camera.
Note
If the camera has been added with the standard security code, '123456', this has to be
