Getting
Started
The easiest way to know if you currently have a mechanical or digital
doorbell, is to listen to the tone your doorbell makes when you ring it.
If it makes the standard ding-dong sound, it is most likely a mechanical
doorbell. If your doorbell plays a dierent tone or melody, it’s most likely
a digital doorbell and you must install the supplied resistor. Refer to
Install Step 4 for more information on installing the resistor.
Mechanical vs. Digital Doorbells
The Clare Video Doorbell will work with mechanical
and digital doorbells that use 16-24VAC power only.
NOTE: If you are unsure what voltage your doorbell uses, please
consult your original doorbell packaging or a licensed electrician.

The Clare Video Doorbell can only be connected to a
2.4GHz wireless network, and requires a minimum of -60dBm of
Wi-Fi signal strength at the installation location.
We recommend downloading a Wi-Fi analysis tool for your phone or
tablet to check signal strength. Stand in the location of where the video
doorbell will be installed, and test the strength of the Wi-Fi. If a -60dBM
signal or better is not achievable, we recommend installation of a Wi-Fi
range extender or Wireless Access Point (WAP) to ensure proper video
and audio streaming.

Step 2
Remove the faceplate attached to the
Video Doorbell to access the mounting
holes used for installation. Refer to
diagram 2 on how to easily remove
the faceplate.
Next, refer to diagram 3 to mount the
supplied spacer or wedge plate to the
doorbell location using the supplied
wedge or spacer mounting screws.
The angled wedge plate can be used
to change the viewing angle of the
Video Doorbell. Make sure to pull the
doorbell wires through the center of
the wedge plate or spacer.

Next, refer to diagram 4 to connect your
existing doorbell wiring to the leads
located on the back of the Video Doorbell.
If your existing wiring is not long enough,
follow the instructions below to extend
your wiring.
To extend the existing wiring use the provided
wire extenders and easy-to-use connectors.
Insert the wires into the connectors as shown
in diagram 5 and use pliers to snap the button
into place. There is no need to strip any wires
as the connectors will pierce the insulation
for you.
Note: The two wires used to power the Video
Doorbell can be hooked up to either terminal.
