Installing the Bracket or Corner Mount
Follow the steps to place the Bracket or optional Corner Mount on your door, walls or frame.
The optional Corner Mount offers a 25° angle for a better view of the smart doorbell,
depending on the location. For the corner mount, we recommend a height between 140 and
150cm for an ideal viewing angle. If using with the wiring of an existing doorbell, consider the
placement of the wiring when measuring.
1. Choose between two mounting options:
Recommended installation option:Screw and plug set.
Alternative option: Double-sided 3M tape, ideal for installing the Smart Doorbell
on a smooth surface or if you do not want to drill permanent holes.

Installing with screw and plug set:
Use the Bracket or Corner Mount as a template to mark the hole placement.
If drilling into drywall or masonry, drill two holes for the plugs and insert them. Skip this step
if installing on a wooden surface.

15
Mount the Bracket or Corner Mount with the screws set. If you choose to install with the
Corner Mount, install it first, then place the bracket on the Corner Mount.
Installing with double-sided 3M tape:
Simply peel one side of the tape and place to the Bracket or Corner Mount. If you choose to
install with the Corner Mount, install it first, then place the bracket on the Corner Mount.
Then peel the other side of the tape and stick to the desired location. Hold firmly and allow
to sit without the doorbell installed for 24 hours.
