The Outdoor Smart Camera (OSC) is compatible with most 16-24V AC-powered electronic and mechanical doorbell chimes operating on a two-wire system. The camera is not compatible with wireless doorbells.
To get started you will need the doorbell mount, packet of screws with anchors, security screw with key, drill and a Phillips head screwdriver.
Scroll down to follow these step-by-step instructions to help you with installation.
Turn OFF Power
Locate your circut breaker and turn OFF main power to your doorbell.
WARNING: Do not attempt to install until you are certain the power is cut to the doorbell. To locate the right power switch, test to see if the doorbell rings and keep trying until you’ve found the correct switch and the doorbell no longer rings. Next Remove Existing Doorbell
Unscrew the doorbell and unhook the wires from the back by loosening the screws that hold the wires.
NOTE: Make sure the wires don't retract back into the wall. Use tape to hold them in place. Next Attach Wires
Loosen the two screws on the back of the OSC Doorbell Mount.
Connect the 16-24V AC doorbell wires to the inputs on the back of the mount.
Tighten the screws to secure the wires.
Next Attach Mount to Wall
Mark where you want to drill your holes and use a 3/32" (2.5mm) drill bit to drill pilot holes for the screws. Once the mount is fastened to the wall, attach the camera.
NOTE: If installing on brick or masonry, use the included wall anchors and a 1/4" (6.5mm) drill bit to drill pilot holes. Next Lock Camera
Secure the camera to the Doorbell Mount by locking it with the provided security screw and key. Keep the key somewhere safe so you can unlock your camera whenever required.
Locate Internal Chime
Locate your doorbell’s internal chime.
Remove the cover.
Loosen the “front” and “trans” terminal screws inside (“rear” for back door installations).
Next Attach Chime Connector
Attach the provided Chime Connector to the loosened terminal screws.
Stick the connector to the side of the unit with the provided tape.
Tighten the terminal screws and replace the cover.
NOTE: The connector has no polarity and can be installed in either direction. Next Restore Power
Turn ON main power to your doorbell. After a few moments you should see the LED ring flash red to indicate your camera is back on.
NOTE: After completing setup, test your camera’s video stream.
