Assembly and operation
These battery-powered video door phones can operate without any electrical connection, thanks to their internal battery.
They work normally in stand-by condition, consuming very little battery. If the call button is pressed, they are activated to record
video and to send notifications. They are also activated when a remote connection with the app is requested.
Thanks to this system, these video intercoms can operate for many weeks before requiring battery charge.
When the battery runs out, you can receive an alert notification to proceed with charging the battery. The battery is recharged by
connecting a USB power supply or computer to the internal microUSB socket. When charging is complete, the device emits an acoustic
signal.
The video door phone is equipped with a fixing base that is screwed to the wall with the plugs. The intercom is hooked by sliding it
onto the base from above. This way you can easily remove the intercom to recharge it.

8..24VAC power supply (not included) to the two terminals in the fixing base.

Check the WIFI coverage
Before placing the product in its final location, remember that this device must connect to your wifi network in order to function. You
should therefore check with your mobile phone that the point where you want to put it there is good coverage of your wifi network. If
you see that the signal is poor you should intervene on your wifi network, perhaps enhancing it with a repeater.
Do not install the product in an area with poor wifi signal as it would then be unreliable in its operation.
SD card
Smart-Home video intercoms can record the video on a micro SD card (not included) that you can insert inside. The SD card slot is
located behind the rear door, near the battery compartment. You can insert any Class 10 SD card with capacities up to 128GB.
Power on
These video door phones do not have a power switch. To make them work you have to open the rear door and remove the plastic
protection that insulates the batteries.
Inside the door you will also find the slot to insert the microSD card, the USB socket for charging and the RESET button.
Reset
Smart-Home devices are always equipped with a reset button that you can find behind the protective flap. Press and hold this button
for a few seconds if you want to restore the factory conditions to pair the video door entry unit to a new wifi network. A voice
message alerts you to the reset in progress.
You must perform this reset if you want to connect your camera to a new access point, even within your own LAN network.

Configure the video door entry unit
In order to use the video door entry unit with your mobile phone you must first connect the device to your wifi network. It is a very
easy operation to perform, thanks to the APP you just downloaded. Activate the video door entry unit by placing yourself near the
wifi hot spot you want to connect to in order to be sure that the WiFi signal is excellent.
