- Position the Mount: Place the mount over the edge of your door at the desired height. The doorbell camera should face outwards.
- Adjust and Secure: On the inside of the door, locate the thumb screws. Twist the thumb screws to adjust the mount's grip on the door. Tighten them firmly until the mount is stable and does not move. Do not overtighten.
