Initial Setup

NOTE: With the doorbell not attached to the mount, you can insert the USB Type-C cable into the doorbell. (Power Adapter not included)

How to Install Your Doorbell

To begin viewing your camera, add it to the Night Owl app or a compatible recorder. For more detailed setup steps, follow the instructions within the app.

Preparing the Doorbell for Install

Test the Wi-Fi signal strength at the desired installation location. The signal strength of the Wi-Fi router should be checked by connecting your cell phone to the Wi-Fi. A minimum of 2 bars of signal is required (4 bars is full).

NOTE: Please complete the doorbell signal test before proceeding with the installation.

Connect the Doorbell to a Wi-Fi Router

Step 1: With the doorbell not connected to the mounting plate, use the reset pin to press and hold the Reset button on the side of the doorbell for 2 seconds to power it on. When you hear the prompt "Camera is in pairing mode," the doorbell is in pairing mode and the LED light flashes slowly.

Step 2: Open the Night Owl Protect app.

Step 3: Tap on "Add New" (iOS) or "+" (Android).

Step 4: Scan the QR code on the side of the doorbell.

Step 5: Follow the on-screen display to add the Doorbell step by step.

NOTE: Please fully charge the doorbell before installation. The Router's security protocol MUST be set to WPA/WPA2 (strong security).

Replacing the Existing Wired Doorbell

1. Test by pressing the existing doorbell button. If the existing doorbell chime does not ring, your existing doorbell wiring may be defective. Consult an electrician to repair the wiring.
2. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. IMPORTANT: Always be careful when handling electrical wires. If you are not comfortable installing them yourself, contact a qualified electrician.
3. Remove the old doorbell.

NOTE: When choosing battery power for your doorbell (no wires needed) and replacing an older wired model, use the included Wire Nuts to safely insulate the old wires.

Doorbell Installation

1. Choose a mounting location. The recommended mounting height is 48 inches (1.2 m) from the ground.
2. If mounting on a hard surface (brick, concrete, stucco), use a 15/64" (6mm) drill bit to drill two holes according to the mounting template screw hole guides.

NOTE: A power drill, 15/64" (6mm) drill bit, mounting bracket, 15° mounting wedge (optional), and screw pack are required for mounting installation.

Securing the Mounting Bracket

Insert the provided anchors and then secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided long screws.

For Brick, Concrete or Stucco Walls: Drill holes, insert anchors, and secure bracket with screws.

For Wooden Walls: No drilling is required; use a screwdriver to install directly.

Attaching the Doorbell

Align the bottom of the doorbell with the mount and then grab the top of the Doorbell. Press the doorbell towards the mount until it clicks into place.

Wired Installation

If you are installing with existing wiring:

1. Connect the wires to the terminals on the back of the doorbell and tighten the terminal screws. The wires can be connected to any terminal.

NOTE: When AC power is connected, you no longer need to worry about the doorbell battery running out of power, as the AC will continuously charge it.

Finalizing Wired Installation

Align the bottom of the doorbell with the mount and then grab the top of the Doorbell. Press the doorbell towards the mount until it clicks into place.

Switch the main circuit breaker back on to restore power to the doorbell.

NOTE: The doorbell supports AC 8 ~ 24V, 10 ~ 30VA. Please check if your power transformer meets these requirements before installation.

Connecting the Doorbell to a Chime

Personalize Your Setup: Connecting to the Night Owl Chime (Optional Add-On)

1. After adding the doorbell to your Night Owl app, open the app and select your doorbell from the list of devices.
2. Click the gear icon ⚙️ on the top right and under "Feature Control," click "Doorbell."
3. Click "Add a Chime" and then "Continue."

For more detailed instructions on configuring your Night Owl Chime, refer to the doorbell user manual.

NOTE: If AC power is used, do not turn on the "Wired Ring Enabled" switch, otherwise the Doorbell may burn out.

Connecting to a Mechanical or Digital Chime

For detailed instructions on connecting your doorbell to an existing mechanical or digital chime, please refer to the doorbell user manual.

Connecting the Night Owl Hub

Personalize Your Setup: Connecting to the Night Owl Hub (Sold Separately)

The Night Owl Hub can function as both a recorder and a chime. When the doorbell is pressed, the hub can be configured to start recording and play a chime through its built-in speaker. Follow these steps to set up your Night Owl Hub with your doorbell.

1. Open the Night Owl application and select the Hub.
2. Click "➕" at the bottom of the screen.
3. Proceed to the "Pair Your Cameras" page. Activate the doorbell to be in pairing mode, and then click "Continue" to begin the pairing process.
4. Once the Hub has paired with your doorbell, click "Continue" to finalize the pairing process.

NOTE: If AC power is used, do not turn on the "Wired Ring Enabled" switch, otherwise the Doorbell may burn out.

LED Status Lights

The LED indicator on the doorbell provides status information:

• Slowly Flashing White: Not connected to Wi-Fi, network error, or pairing failed.
• Slowly Flashing Blue: System in pairing mode, connected to Wi-Fi, or Wi-Fi chime mode.
• Solid White: System is connected to Wi-Fi.
