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 diode. Refer to Install
Step 4 for more information on installing the diode.
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
network, and requires a minimum of -65dBm 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 -65dBM
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.

Preparing The Video Doorbell
For Wall Mounting
Remove the faceplate attached to the
video doorbell to access the mounting
holes used for installation. Refer to
diagram 1 on how to easily remove
the faceplate.
When mounting the doorbell to brick,
concrete, or stucco, use the supplied drill
template as a guide to mark the locations
for installing the supplied wall anchors.
Using the included masonry drill bit, drill a
hole for each anchor and rmly press each
anchor into the wall.
Note: If installing the doorbell into siding or wood,
disregard this step and continue to Install Step 3.

Next, refer to diagram 3 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,
use the supplied wires and connectors to
extend the wiring. Using a pair of pliers,
insert the wires into the connector and
depress the yellow button until fully seated.
Note: The two wires used to power the video
doorbell can be hooked up to either terminal
on the back of the video doorbell.
Once wiring is complete, install the
doorbell using the supplied screws.
Restore the power at the breaker and
follow the instructions for setting up
the ClareVision Plus App.

Optional
Step
A diode must be installed on the leads of the chime for proper
operation. Simply wrap the ends of the supplied diode around the
terminals on the doorbell chime. Connecting the diode in the wrong
direction will not cause harm to either device, your doorbell will just
not ring properly. If this is the case, simply reverse the direction of the
diode and verify proper installation by ringing the doorbell.
Installation When Using a
Digital Doorbell Chime
(Proceed to App Step 1 if using a mechanical chime)
NOTE: Do not install the supplied diode when connecting the Clare
Video Doorbell to any mechanical chime.
