Determine Power Option

If you don't have existing doorbell wiring
Install Battery-Powered Doorbell

• 3-step wire-free installation
• Need to recharge the battery

Follow Step 6,7 and 9

If you have existing doorbell wiring
Install Wire-Powered Doorbell

• Continuous power supply
• 24/7 recording
• 5-second pre-roll

Follow Step 4 to 10

Step 4 Check the Doorbell Wiring

1. Ring the existing doorbell to ensure the wires are working.
2. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker.

Always be careful when handling wires. If you're not comfortable installing it yourself, have a qualified electrician to do it.

Optional: if you want to enable 24/7 recording:
The video doorbell requires sufficient power. Follow steps below to bypass the chime:

1. Find the doorbell chime in your house if you have one.
2. Remove the cover and find the screw terminals with TRANS and FRONT markings.
3. Use the provided jumper to connect FRONT and TRANS terminals on the circuit.

Note: When the jumper is in place, then existing chime will not sound anymore.

Step 5 Detach Existing Doorbell Button

If you already have existing doorbell wiring:

1. Remove the existing doorbell button with a Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided).
2. Pull the two wires out carefully when removing the existing doorbell. Straighten the wire ends if necessary.

Step 6 Choose a Location

1. Take the video doorbell to your front door and check the live view in the app. Consider the following factors:
   
   • Check if you can reuse the existing holes and anchors in the wall or door frame.
   • If you want to place the doorbell near a side wall, make sure the wall isn't in the field of view. Otherwise, the IR light will be reflected and the night vision will be blurred.
   • If you are drilling the mounting holes for the first time, the recommended height is 48"(1.2m) above the ground.
   • To adjust the angle, use the 15° mounting wedge as a supplementary mounting bracket.
2. Place the screw hole positioning card against the wall to mark the 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 screw hole positioning card.
     

Step 7 Mount the Bracket

Step 8 Connect Wires to the Doorbell

Skip this step if you are installing battery-powered doorbell.
Connect the wires to the terminals on the back of the doorbell, then tighten the terminal screws. Wire can be connected to any terminal.

To prevent short-circuiting, make sure the wires are not touching each other after connecting them to the terminals.
If the wires are too short, use the extension wires and wire nuts to make them longer. Use electrical wiring tape instead if there is no more space on the wall for wire nuts.

Step 9 Install the Doorbell

Align the doorbell with the bottom of the mounting bracket, then press the top of the doorbell into place until it clicks.

You're all set if your are installing a battery-powered doorbell!
If it's a wired doorbell, just one more step to complete the setup!

Step 10 Restore Power

Switch the main circuit breaker back to ON. You're all set!

Step 11 Install the Chime

1. Attach the power connector to the doorbell chime.
   
2. Plug the doorbell chime into a wall outlet at your desired location. The LED indicator turns solid green when the doorbell chime is ready for setup.
3. Open the eufy security app, tap the + icon and select Video Doorbell > MiniBase Chime to complete the setup.
