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 doorbell via a PoE switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE injector (e.g. TP-Link 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 cables. If
you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the video doorbell is automatically inactive,
and the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The video doorbell 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 doorbell.
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 doorbell. The wires or
connection options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network
You can connect the video doorbell 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 doorbell 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
doorbell 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 doorbell 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 doorbell 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.
Two insulated wires.
