Vivint SmartHome Doorbell Camera Pro User manual

Installation Instructions
Installing the
Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro (DBC) initially requires some different steps depending on whether or not there is an existing doorbell, but once the power source
is set up the procedure is essentially the same.
The Vivint technician should carefully read all of these installation steps (and tips) in order to ensure a successful installation
and optimal performance.
For additional information, refer to the Field Service Smart Home Pros website.
The
Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro can be added to an integrated Vivint Smart Home system, letting the homeowner know
whenever a visitor comes to their door
, whether that person presses the doorbell button or not, via smart notifications.
With the doorbell camera, you can
see and speak with the visitor (whether you are inside the home or away) via the control
panel and mobile apps
. The doorbell camera provides live and recorded video; microphone and speaker for
audio/communication
capabilities; and an LED light ring on the doorbell button that indicates camera function and status.
P
rofessionally installed by a Vivint technician, the doorbell camera is added to the panel network either via NFC, Wi-Fi
Connect, or WPS. Once connected to the system, the doorbell camera can be used in conjunction with other smart home
automation
devices and features, such as remote door locks, garage door controllers, and light switches.
Other features include:
Night vision with IR LEDs; 180° FOV (field of view); Pinch-to-zoom video image; Person-triggered
and/or ring
notifications; Speaker for two-way talk via the panel or apps.

Next, follow these steps to pair and install the camera, and add it to the system:
1. First, pair the doorbell camera to the panel via NFC. At the panel, tap on the menu icon
(…) in the bottom right corner > tap Software version > enter the PIN code 2203 > tap
Smart Home devices > Cameras > and then tap Add camera.
2. Tap NFC > and then tap Add. Align the logo on the front of the DBC with the white light on
the panel, and hold it until pairing is complete.
3. Mount the camera. Run the wires through the back plate's rubber grommet, and then
strip
and secure each wire to a screw terminal. Polarity does not matter.
4. Attach the back plate to the wall/doorframe with two screws. Secure the rubber gaskets.
5. If applicable, at the chime box, twist and cap the FRT and TRANS wires together.
6. Place the doorbell unit on the back plate, by first attaching the bottom on to the set screw,
and then swinging it up so that it clips securely into the top latch.
7. Verify power is present at the DBC. The LED light will illuminate. (See LED descriptions.)
8. Once the doorbell camera has finished booting (wait a few minutes), it will show online.
IMPORTANT: This process should NOT be interrupted and could take several minutes in
order to load firmware and configure settings.
9. Verify that you can view live video at the panel screen and with the app.
INSTALLATION TIPS / BEST PRACTICES:
•Push any excess wire back into the wall. No exposed wires. No exterior wire runs.
•If the camera view is blocked, use a spacer to adjust the angle.
•On brick/concrete/stucco/wood/vinyl: Use outdoor-rated screws only. Pre-drill if necessary.
•Do NOT use drywall screws (or any screws that won't sit flush on the back plate).
•Do NOT mount to metal surfaces.
•NOTE: Refer to the Field Service website for detailed guidelines on replacing an existing
doorbell when the power source voltage is not within the 12-24V range.

Scenario 1: IF there is an existing doorbell: a) Locate the chime box and remove the FRT and
TRANS wires from the screw terminals keeping the wires separated, b) Verify the doorbell no
longer has power, and c) Detach the doorbell. (NOTE: If there is a wire on the REAR terminal
for a working doorbell, remove it and cap it off. Also, if there are multiple chime boxes, you
need to locate them and remove their FRT and TRANS wires.)
Scenario 2: IF there is no existing doorbell
: a) Consulting with the homeowner, identify the best
location to install the doorbell camera and also locate the nearest interior unswitched power
outlet, b) Carefully drill a hole for wiring at the mounting location, and c) Run 18/2 wire from
the DBC to the power source. (NOTE: If running wire on the wall or floorboard, do not use
staples and always encase in wire molding. See Installation Tips below.)

PRUDENCE!
Changements ou modifications pourraient annuler le droit de l'utilisateur à utiliser l'équipement non autorisées.
C
onformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans
le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'é
tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitatio
n est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Ces limites sont conçues pour fournir une protection raisonnable contre les in
terférences nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Cet équipement génère, utilise et peut émettre une énergie de
radiofréquence et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux instructions, il peut causer des interférences nuisibl
es aux communications radio. Cependant, il n'existe aucune garantie que des
interférences no se produiront pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet équipement provoque des interférences nuisibles
à la réception radio ou télévision, ce qui peut être déterminé en mettant
l'équipement hors et sous tension, l'utilisateur est encouragé à essayer de corriger l'interférence par une ou plusieurs des
mesures suivantes: Réorienter ou déplacer l'antenne de reception;
Augmentez la distance entre l'équipement et le récept
eur; Connecter l'équipement à une sortie sur un circuit différent de celui sur lequel le récepteur est branché; Consulter le revendeur ou un
technicien radio / télévision expérimenté pour de l'aide.
•Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements ICétablies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé etutilisé avec un minimum de 20
cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement etvotre corps.
•Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne.
•Pour lesproduits disponibles aux États-Unis / Canada du marché, seul le canal 1à 11 peuvent être exploités. Sélection d'autres canaux n'est paspossible.
