tallation Instructions
doorbell camera initially requires some different steps depending on whether or not there is an existing doorbell, but once the power source is set up the
procedure is essentially the same.
The Vivint technician should carefully read all of these installation steps (and tips) in order to ensure a successful installation and optimal
performance. For additional information, refer to the

Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro (Gen 2) can be added to an integrated Vivint Smart Home system, letting the homeowner
know whenever a visitor comes to their door
, whether that person presses the doorbell button or not, via smart notifications.
With the doorbell camera, you can
see and speak with the visitor (whether you are inside the home or away) via the control
. The doorbell camera provides live and recorded video that can be viewed at the control panel as well
remotely via the apps; speaker and microphone array for audio/communication capabilities including two-way talk via the
; and an LED light ring on the doorbell button that indicates real-time camera function and status.
rofessionally installed by a Vivint technician, the doorbell camera is added to the panel network either via NFC, Wi-
Fi Connect,
or WPS. Once connected to the system, the doorbell camera can be used in conjunction with other smart home automation
devices and
features, such as remote door locks, garage door controllers, and light switches.

Next, follow these steps to pair and install the camera, and add it to the system:
1. First, pair the doorbell camera to the panel via NFC. At the panel, tap on the menu icon
(…) in the bottom right corner > tap Software version > enter the PIN code 2203 > tap
Smart Home devices > Cameras > and then tap Add camera.
2. Tap NFC > and then tap Add. Align the logo on the front of the DBC with the white light on
the panel, and hold it until pairing is complete.
3. Mount the camera. Run the power wires through the back plate's rubber grommet, and
then strip and secure each wire to a screw terminal. Polarity does not matter.
4. Attach the back plate to the wall/doorframe with two screws. Secure the rubber gaskets.
5. If applicable, at the chime box, twist and cap the FRT and TRANS wires together.
6. Place the doorbell unit on the back plate, by first attaching the bottom on to the set screw,
and then swinging it up so that it clips securely into the top latch.
7. Verify power is present at the DBC. The LED light will illuminate. (See LED descriptions)
8. Once the doorbell camera has finished booting (wait a few minutes), it will show online.
IMPORTANT: This process should NOT be interrupted and could take several minutes in
order to load firmware and configure settings.
9. Verify that you can view live video at the panel screen and with the app.
INSTALLATION TIPS / BEST PRACTICES:
• Push any excess wire back into the wall. No exposed wires. No exterior wire runs.
• If the camera view is blocked, use a spacer to adjust the angle.
• On brick/concrete/stucco/wood/vinyl: Use outdoor-rated screws only. Pre-drill if necessary.
• Do NOT use drywall screws (or any screws that won't sit flush on the back plate).
• Do NOT mount to metal surfaces.
• NOTE: Refer to the Field Service website for detailed guidelines on replacing an existing
doorbell when the power source voltage is not within the 12-24V range.

Scenario 1: IF there is an existing doorbell: a) Locate the chime box and remove the FRT and
TRANS wires from the screw terminals keeping the wires separated, b) Verify the doorbell no
longer has power, and c) Detach the doorbell. (NOTE: If there is a wire on the REAR terminal
for a working doorbell, remove it and cap it off. Also, if there are multiple chime boxes, you
need to locate them and remove their FRT and TRANS wires.)
Scenario 2: IF there is no existing doorbell
: a) Consulting with the homeowner, identify the best
location to install the doorbell camera and also locate the nearest interior unswitched power
outlet, b) Carefully drill a hole for wiring at the mounting location, and c) Run 18/2 wire from
the DBC to the power source. (NOTE: If running wire on the wall or floorboard, do not use
staples and always encase in wire molding. See Installation Tips below.)
