Each individual step of the installation is clearly documented in the videos.
Installation
All the steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration
any applicable safety regulations. Should you have any questions, please contact us or a competent
specialist directly. Please ensure that all wires used for the installation are undamaged along their
entire length and approved for this type of use.
Network speed and network components
Please ensure that the upload speed of your Internet connection is at least 0.5 Mbps. You can also
carry out a speed test at any time via the DoorBird app. The user experience is only as good as your
3
network speed, network stability and quality of your network components, such as your Internet
router and WiFi access points or WiFi repeaters. Please also make sure that your network
components are no older than two years old, have been manufactured by a well-known
manufacturer, and have the latest firmware installed.
Should these requirements not be fulfilled, it may happen, for example that the performance of
audio and video is poor or push notifications are delayed or do not arrive on your smartphone or
tablet at all.
High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fibre
Network: 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz or Ethernet, with DHCP
Step 1: Switching off power
Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the door chime, electric door
opener, power supply unit for the Video Door Station etc..
Step 2: Dismantling the existing doorbell
Should there already be a doorbell on the exterior wall of the house, please dismantle it.
Step 3: Determining the assembly location
The Video Door Station uses an ultra wide-angle hemispheric lens so that even when the person is a
minimum distance of 50 cm (19.68 inches) away from the Video Door Station, a low installation
height is sufficient. The lens is therefore not mechanically adjustable. The camera lens should be
located at an altitude of at least 125 cm (49.22 inches). You may check this prior to the final
mounting.
Step 4: Power supply
The Video Door Station can be powered by two simple doorbell wires using the power-supply unit
(mains adaptor) supplied with it or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network cable. The Video
Door Station can alternatively also be supplied with a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain
from us directly.
The Video Door Station does not use battery power. The use of a mains power supply permits the
transmission and display of on-demand live video at any time and not only if a visitor has pressed the
doorbell.
Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)
Two insulated wires are required to power the Video Door Station by plugging it into the mains.
These wires are normally already there and are freely accessible once you have removed the
previous doorbell. Only use the power supply unit provided along with the Video Door Station, or a
DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us separately, since this has been specially
stabilized electrically and is equipped with an integrated audio interference reduction device. Other
power supply units may destroy the Video Door Station or cause poor transmission quality. The
warranty automatically expires if you use a different power supply unit. The power supply unit is
plugged into a wall socket inside your house, usually where the two wires from your previous
doorbell come out of the wall in the interior of the house.
Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet. Connect the power supply unit inside the
house with the crimp connector provided and the two wires that you would like to use to power the
device.
Power supply via PoE (as an alternative)
To power the Video Door Station via a PoE switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE injector (e.g. TPLink TL-PoE150S) in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing
the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5 cable or better are to be used. A Cat.5 cable or better must be
used as network signals can only be transmitted over completely insulated, shielded and twisted
4
cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the Video Door Station is
automatically inactive, and the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The Video
Door Station won’t start if your PoE Switch or PoE injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE
802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).
1. Disconnect the PoE switch or PoE injector from the power grid.
2. Place the network cable in the installation site of the Video Door Station.
Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply
via PoE.
Step 5: Further connections (optional)
If desired, connect additional wires to the installation site of the Video Door Station. The wires or
connection options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network
You can connect the Video Door Station to your existing network via
WiFi, or alternatively use a network cable (Ethernet). For reasons of
network stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as
WiFi is sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields,
reliability of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless
transmitters causing interference in the area, etc.).
The Video Door Station can be powered by PoE or using the power
supply unit provided.
If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the Video Door
Station remains inactive.
Use only four wires (1, 2, 3 and 6) of a network cable that meets the
Cat.5 standard or a better one. The other four wires of the network cable
(4, 5, 7 and 8) are not required.
Connect the network cable in the house to your Internet router or to
your PoE switch or PoE injector that is connected to your Internet router.
Be sure to use four
insulated, shielded and
twisted wires of a
network cable in
accordance with the
Cat.5 standard or better.
Electric door openers
The Video Door Station has a zero-potential relay contact for a
standardised electric door, gate or garage opener (two wires). There is
the possibility of switching on all electric door openers that work at a
maximum power of 1A in the voltage range of up to 24V (AC/DC). The
Video Door Station does not provide its own power supply for the
electric door opener. This is provided through the separate power supply
of the electric door opener. You can learn more about the installation of
the power supply from the instruction manual or technical specifications
of your door opener. Should you have any questions about this, please
contact the manufacturer of your door opener. You can find compatible
electric door opener and a sample wiring diagram at
www.doorbird.com/support
Two insulated wires.

Conventional electric door chime
If someone rings your Video Door Station, you will immediately receive a
push notification with sound/vibration on your smartphone or tablet. In
addition the Video Door Station comes with a zero-potential relay
contact for connecting a conventional electric door chime inside the
building. The relay contact can be used to activate the separate
operating voltage of the door chime or the door chime via its trigger
input. If the operating voltage of the door chime is activated, it should
not be greater than 24V (AC/DC). The power consumption should not
exceed 1A. The Video Door Station does not provide its own power
supply for the door chime. This is provided through the separate power
supply of your conventional door chime. Should you have any questions,
please contact the manufacturer of your door chime. You can find
compatible door chimes and a sample wiring diagram at
www.doorbird.com/support
Two insulated wires.
Conventional door opener button
If an electric door opener is connected to the Video Door Station, the
door opener can be opened by App and also be directly controlled via a
zero-potential button to be found in the interior of the building, i.e. a
door opening button. In addition, the door opener button is to be
connected to the connection terminal provided. You can find compatible
door opener buttons and a sample wiring diagram on
