How to Mount the Camera:
The Outdoor Camera can be mounted outside, but it needs to be plugged inside. You’ll need to
drill holes into the wall to mount the Outdoor Camera. Use the longer screws that were included
with the camera if you’re drilling into wood, and we recommend using the anchors for stucco or
brick walls. You can then mount the camera body into the wall using the included screws.

base is the mounting bracket.
2. Twist counter-clockwise until the mark lines up with the unlocked icon.
3. Lift the camera away from the mounting bracket.
To reaach the Camera to its mounting bracket:
1. Line the mark up to the unlocked icon on the mounting bracket.

Video Doorbell
Pre-Install Check List:

Camera (ADC-VDB101/102)
• Wall mounting bracket
• Wall screws
• Masonry anchors
• Internet - Wireless (2.4 or 5GHz)
• Alarm.com login credentials
• A computer, tablet or smartphone with WiFi
Important:
• The video doorbell is only compatible with existing wired doorbells.
• Upload speed minimum of 2 mbps where the video doorbell will be installed is required.
• The mounting plate affixes to a flat surface and uses the existing doorbell wiring.
• You may need a power drill to complete this install.
Pre-Install Assessment:
Wired Doorbell:
Verify the existing wired doorbell is working and visually inspect the doorbell button for wires. If
necessary, you can remove the doorbell from the wall to check for wiring.
Note: If there is a power issue or the doorbell does not ring indoors, the issue must be resolved
before installing the video doorbell.
Visually inspect the doorbell button for wires. You can also inspect inside the home – the chime
plugged into a power outlet may indicate an incompatible doorbell system is present.
Chime:
Locate the chime inside the home and remove the faceplate. Identify if the chime is compatible:
Compatible:
• Mechanical: metal bars and a striker pin.
• No Chime: you will only get alerts on your phone.
Incompatible (may require additional hardware):
• Digital: a speaker that plays a tone when pressed (will require a digital doorbell
adapter and enabling to the digital doorbell setting to work in the app).
• Tube Chime: series of tubular bells and is incompatible with the video doorbell.
• Intercom system: button fixture includes a speaker that is incompatible with the
video doorbell.
