Physical Installation
9
Before physically installation, please ensure the proper voltage is present in the area you are installing
the device. The voltage at the install sight should range between 16V~24V AC to function. If proper volt-
age is not available, it is highly recommended to contact a licensed electrican to complete the physical
installation of your device.
The Amcrest Wi-Fi video doorbell does not require a chime to function as long as adequate voltage is
being applied to the device. Please note, the Amcrest WiFi doorbell also does not require any special
resistors and/or diodes to function.For more information on how to install your device, please refer to the
information below.
Installing the Chime Kit
The Chime Kit, also known as a power kit, allows the doorbell to sync with your home’s existing chime
system. If you do not have a chime system, the chime kit is not necessary and you can proceed to the
physical installation of your doorbell.
Connect the Wire Harness
If the wire harness does not come preinstalled with the
included wiring. Use a precision screwdriver to open the
terminals on top of the connector and insert the wiring
into the ports. The red and black wires can be placed in
any position inside the connector, and tighten the
screws to secure.
Turn the Circuit Breaker Off
Since we will be working with electrical wiring, make sure to shut off the
power to your doorbell at the electrical breakers of your home to ensure
no power is flowing through the internal doorbell system.
Remove the Cover for Your Chime
Your existing chime may look different depending on if you
have a digital or mechanical chime.
NOTE: A Chime Kit is only needed for
systems with mechanical or electrical chimes.
