Installing Wired Doorbell Camera

Wired Doorbell Installation 

1. Remove the existing doorbell from the wall and disconnect the wires. Secure the wires so that they can be connected in a later step (you can tape them to the wall surface so they don't fall back into the wall).

2. Verify the Wired Doorbell installation height is less than 6.5 feet (2 meters)from floor level and in a vertical orientation.

3. Thread the doorbell wires through the wall plate, making sure to thread the wires underneath the plastic bridges of the wall plate leading to the screw terminals, and secure the wires to the wall plate screw terminals.

Important: Minimize the length of any excess wire leads that protrude from the area surrounding the screw terminals. Excess wire can interfere with the assembly to the Wired Doorbell Camera and may result in the device not powering on. 

4. Mount the wallplate to the surface with the provided screws/anchors. 

5. Connect the Wired Doorbell Camera to the wall plate by first securing/latching the top edge, then pushing the device into the wall plate until it clicks.

6. Restore power to the doorbell circuit (transformer).
