6. MOUNTING THE DOORBELL
Choose a Location
Take the video doorbell to your front door and check the live view in the app to select a location with your desired field of view. Consider these factors:
- Check if existing holes and anchors in the wall or door frame can be reused.
- If placing the doorbell near a side wall, ensure the wall is not within the field of view to prevent IR light reflection and blurred night vision.
- For new installations, the recommended mounting height is 48 inches (1.2 meters) above the ground.
Diagram Description: Shows recommended mounting heights relative to ground level and eye level. A height of 1.76m (5'9") is indicated for a person, with mounting points at 1.2m (48"), 1m (40"), and 0.3m (12") from the ground.
Place the screw hole positioning card against the wall to mark the mounting location. If mounting on a hard wall (brick, concrete, or stucco), use a 15/64" (5.95mm) drill bit to drill 2 holes through the card.
What you need: ? Phillips-Head Screwdriver; ? Power Drill (15/64" Drill Bit)
