How the System Works

The Video Doorbell system includes 2 parts. One is the video doorbell at your porch. The other is the electronic chime plugged on indoor power socket.

How the System Works

Video Doorbell Installation

Note: Make sure you have installed the EufySecurity App and scan the QR code before start handling the doorbell installation.

Step 1
Ring the existing doorbell, make sure it's working and locate the place of your existing chimes in the house.

Step 2
Shut off the master circuit breaker in your house. Turn the lights in your home on / off to make sure the electricity in your house is properly shut off.
Installation - Step 1
Note: Always be careful when handling electricity wiring. If you're not comfortable to do it yourself, do consult a qualified electrician.

Step 3
Find the doorbell chime in your house, then remove the cover and find the screw terminals with TRANS and FRONT markings. Use the provided jumper for existing chime to connect the two terminals. This is to bypass the doorbell chime and will not affect the normal operation of the circuit.

Note:

  • The video doorbell requires user to bypass the existing chime first to get sufficient power. Without this step, the video doorbell will still be able to power on but will operate unstably.
  • In most cases, the existing doorbell circuit looks like below chart. Find the existing doorbell chime in your house, remove the cover and take a photo of the wire connection in case you need to reconnect it.
  • Use the provided jumper to connect FRONT and TRANS terminals to bypass the chime on the circuit. Do not remove the original wire connecting to the chime. If your doorbell chime has different markings or you have multiple chimes, refer to the help session in the App for the custom wiring instructions or consult a qualified electrician.
  • When the jumper is in place, the existing chime will not sound anymore.
