If you have no idea about how to install your Reolink Doorbell cameras, please refer to the following steps.

Applies to: Video Doorbell PoE, Video Doorbell WiFi

Step 1. Prepare to Install

For Video Doorbell PoE:

Use a network cable of appropriate length. Plug one end of the network cable into the PoE port of your NVR or other PoE devices.

For Video Doorbell WiFi:

Put the power adapter near the door and set up the cables. Do not plug the adapter into the power socket at this point.

Note: If you use a network cable for the camera's network connection, then you also need a network cable of appropriate length as well. Attach one end of the network cable to the router.

Step 2. Find a Place for Your Doorbell

Find a proper place for your doorbell. Do not include walls in the camera view. The walls will reflect infrared light and may cause a blurry image.

Choose a proper height for your doorbell. You are recommended to install the camera 1.2m (48'') high off the ground to get an ideal camera view.

Step 3. Use the Wedge

Check the camera view to see whether the wedge should be used to adjust the field of view. Use the wedge if a person standing in front of your door is near the edge of the camera's field of view.

Step 4. Find the Place to Drill Holes

Step 5. Install the Wedge

Fix the wedge to the wall. If the wall is soft, screw the wedge to the wall directly. If the wall is hard, insert drywall anchors first. Drill a hole through the wall in the hollow part of the wedge to run the network cable.

Note: You should attach the level and smooth side of the wedge onto the wall, and screw it firmly. Leave the grooved side of the wedge facing you.
