4. Setup and Installation

The AYR Digital Door Viewer is designed for quick and easy installation, typically taking only 5 minutes. It replaces your existing traditional peephole.

4.1 Preparation

  • Ensure your door thickness is between 35mm and 100mm.
  • Ensure your existing peephole hole diameter is between 14mm and 35mm. If no peephole exists, drill a 14mm hole at eye level.
  • Gather a screwdriver.

4.2 Installation Steps

  1. Remove Old Peephole: Unscrew and remove your traditional door peephole.
  2. Prepare Camera Unit: Depending on your door's thickness, select the appropriate screw length from the provided fixing screws. Attach the chosen screw to the camera unit without overtightening.
  3. Insert Camera: Carefully introduce the camera unit from the exterior side of the door through the peephole hole. Ensure the FPC cable passes through the hole without damage. The 'UP' mark on the camera's outer ring should face upwards.
  4. Attach Fixing Plate: On the interior side of the door, pass the FPC cable through the horizontal slot of the metal fixing plate. Position the plate with the 'UP' arrow facing upwards. Insert the screw from the camera unit through the lower hole of the fixing plate.
  5. Secure Fixing Plate: Tighten the screw to firmly secure the metal fixing plate to the door.
  6. Connect Monitor: Open the cover on the back of the monitor. Align the FPC cable connector with the port on the monitor and gently plug it in. Close the cover.
  7. Mount Monitor: Align the four slots on the back of the monitor with the four hooks on the metal fixing plate. Slide the monitor downwards until it clicks firmly into place.

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the monitor screen and the outdoor camera lens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the surfaces.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your AYR Digital Door Viewer, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Device Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to a power source using the USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.
  • No Image on Screen: Check the FPC cable connection between the camera and the monitor. Ensure it is securely plugged in. Also, verify that the outdoor camera lens is not obstructed.
  • Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Ensure there is adequate lighting. If using night vision, confirm it is activated in settings.
  • Motion Detection Not Working: Check if PIR motion detection is enabled in the settings. Adjust the sensitivity level. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
  • No Mobile Notifications: Verify that the device is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and that the mobile app has the necessary notification permissions enabled on your smartphone. Check your internet connection.
  • Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Move the router closer to the door viewer if signal strength is weak. Restart both the router and the door viewer.
  • Two-Way Audio Problems: Check the volume settings on both the monitor and your smartphone. Ensure the microphone and speaker on both units are not obstructed.
