4.1. Components Overview
The system consists of an outdoor station (PL963PM) and an indoor monitor (MR930). The outdoor station features a 1080P HD camera, speaker, two call buttons, and a smart keypad. The indoor monitor is a 7-inch touch screen for viewing and interacting with visitors.
4.2. Wiring and Installation
The outdoor station can be powered via 12VDC 1A power adapter (included) or Power over Ethernet (PoE) through a wired Ethernet connection. It includes two integrated SPDT relays to trigger two different remote door locks or gates. An internal normally-open dry-contact relay activates with the press of the 'Bell' button, allowing connection to an existing chime.
The indoor monitor connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi to the system.
4.3. App Configuration
The system is managed through the free DoorDeer app, available for iOS and Android devices. Follow the app's instructions to connect your indoor monitor and outdoor station to your home Wi-Fi network. The app allows for easy setup and management of all system features.
5. Operating the System
5.1. Remote Access and Communication
Answer and view callers at your door remotely via your mobile device or indoor monitor. The video IP Doorbell sends push notifications to your smart devices. Engage in two-way audio communication with visitors.
5.2. Smart Keypad and Access Control
The smart keypad allows you to remotely change personal PINs or generate temporary/permanent PIN codes for guests through the app. You can also set your gate to open automatically during specified time periods and days of the week.
5.3. Motion Detection and Event Log
Advanced Motion Detection can be programmed from the app, allowing you to define areas of interest, sensitivity, and active times. An event log of one week can be retrieved through the app or indoor monitor, tracking all events (Ring-in, App unlock, Keypad unlock, Motion Detection) with timeline and video clips.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
Regularly clean the brushed aluminum faceplate of the outdoor station with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Keep the camera lens clear of dust and debris for optimal video quality.
