Should these requirements not be fulfilled, it may occur, for example 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 fibre
Network: Ethernet, with DHCP
STEP : SWITCHING OFF POWER
Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e.
the door chime, electric door opener, power supply unit for the video
door station etc.
STEP : DISMANTLING THE EXISTING DOORBELL
Should there already be a doorbell or door station on the exterior wall of the
house, please dismantle it.
STEP : DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION
The device uses an ultra wide-angle hemispheric lens so that even when the
person is a minimum distance of 50 cm (19.68 in) away from the device, a low
installation height is sufficient. The lens is therefore not mechanically adjustable.
The camera lens should be located at an altitude of at least 125 cm (49.22 in).
You may check this prior to the final mounting.
When choosing the assembly location, consider the lighting conditions. Avoid
direct sunlight, direct backlight and reflective surfaces.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. The housing temperature
can exceed the maximum allowed temperature limit. This can result
in damage of electric and mechanic components of the device and
injuries especially when touching exterior parts of the device. White
and bright silver-colored front plates absorb less sunlight than dark
ones.
An image sensor must not be exposed to direct sunlight for an
extended period of time. Direct sunlight will “blind” the camera
and may permanently bleach the small color filters on the image
sensor chip.
14
NOTICE
NOTICE

Any defects caused by direct sunlight is not covered by warranty.
The network cable between the device and the PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector/Inter-
net Router can have a maximum length of 80 meters/262 feet (IEEE 802.3).
If you have only two wires available at the assembly location, you
may use of the “DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE Converter A1071”,
sold separately. It allows you to transfer network data (Ethernet) and
power (PoE) with a simple two-wire cable over long distances. For
example; existing buildings with a simple two-wire bell wire can be
equipped with network technology without having to retrofit any
network cables.
STEP : REMOVING THE FRONT PLATE
Remove the front plate carefully using the screw driver provided with the
device from the mounting housing (backbox).
15
ENGLISH
1.) Remove the
security screws
2.) Pull down the
front panel.
3.) Pull the front panel
towards you.

16
STEP : ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING HOUSING
Assemble the mounting housing (backbox) to the wall. You can find detailed
drawings and measurements of the device in the corresponding datasheet of
the device.
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..
STEP : POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
The device can be powered using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)
supplied with it (Option 1) or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network
cable (Option 2). The device can be alternatively also be supplied with power
using a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain direclty from us.
The device does not use battery power.
Option 1: Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)
The power supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied with the device has a 300 cm
long cable with two insulated wires.
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 expires automatically if you use a different power
supply unit.
Option 2: Power supply via PoE
To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector
(e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1091) 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 four wires for PoE
then simultaneously form the data link. The device won’t start if your PoE-
Switch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A
(see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).
1. Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
2. Run the network cable to the installation location of the device.
