Before you head to install your Remo S smart video doorbell, please check your current digital or mechanical doorbell’s voltage. Remo S doorbell only works with 16 V — 24 V.
If your current doorbell’s voltage doesn’t meet the 16 V — 24 V, you can buy a doorbell transformer.
Also, Turn off the power in your breaker box to prevent electric shock.
Step 1. Install the Power Kit
Install the power kit to your mechanical chime box. If you don’t have a chime, you can skip this step.
1). Remove the chime cover, loosen the screws and remove the wires. After that, straighten the exposed end of the wires.
2). Insert one end of the wire harness into the power kit. Connect the wire harness to the chime terminals.
3). Insert an exposed end of the wire harness and one chime wire into the wire nut and twist it tightly.
You can check the step-by-step guide to wire a doorbell.
4). Repeat with the remaining wires.
5). Place the power kit so that it won’t interfere with the moving parts or muffle the chime. You can use the adhesive backing to hold it in place.
6). Install the chime box cover back.
Step 2. Install Your Remo S Video Doorbell
1). Remove your existing doorbell and disconnect the wires.
2). Adjust your video doorbell camera’s viewing angle by choosing the proper mount type, based on your doorbell location.
Note: For hard surfaces (like stucco or brick), paste the mounting foam to the back of the wall mount.
The 15° angle mount is suitable for improving the motion detection and having an ideal view of visitors.
The 5° wedge mount is perfect for reducing triggered alerts by street traffic.
3). Insert the bubble level into the mount to straighten the mount.
When the bubble level is in the middle, mark the drilling points with a pencil on the wall or brick.
Remove the bubble level after you have marked the drilling points.
4). Use the drill to drill holes according to the marked points and insert the anchors.
5). Install the wall mount to the wall with the screwdriver and mounting screws.
6). If you have followed Step 1 to install the power kit, you can connect the Remo+ Remo S video doorbell with your existing doorbell wires.
If you don’t have a chime, connect the safety fuse wire with your existing doorbell wires.
i). Insert an exposed end of the safety fuse wire and one chime wire into the wire nut, and twist it tightly.
ii). Push the safety fuse wire and the extension wire into the wall to install the doorbell to the wall mount.
7). Remove the faceplate. Fix the Remo S smart doorbell to the wall mount by inserting the doorbell screws.
8). Turn on the power in your breaker box.
