DoorBird A1101 Manuel D'installation page 8

If there is no hollow-wall box at the assembly location:
Press the drilling template of the device against the
wall or ceiling at the desired installation site and mark
the boreholes with a pencil. Remove the drilling
template again. Ensure that no cables are to be found
in the wall or ceiling behind the boreholes.
As an alternative to wall mounting, you can
also mount the device on a table stand
(DoorBird A8003 Table Stand for IP Video
Indoor Station A1101).

DOWELS
If the wall of the house is not made of wood, you
should drill dowel holes 5 mm in diameter in the wall
according to the drilling template and then place the
dowels provided into the boreholes.
If you must drill holes in a wall, insert screws
into a wall or lever up a wall, ensure that no
cables or mains (gas, water, etc.) are to be
found in the wall.
If the wall of the house is made of wood, dowels
are normally not required. There are special dowels
for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g.
Fischer insulating dowels.
Please check with your insulating material manufacturer
regarding which dowels they recommend.

NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS
You can connect the device to the network by either
using a network cable or a WiFi 2.4 GHz connection.
OPTION 1
Network cable
(recommended, maintenance free)
Install a network cable (which is plugged into a
network switch / router with Internet access) from
the inside of your building to the assembly location.
The network cable between the assembly location

The mounting
bracket may be used
in connection with a
standard 68 mm (2.68 in)
hollow-wall box, which
means you do not have
to drill separate holes
into the wall: You can use
the existing screw holes
of the hollow-wall box
and skip STEP 4.
and the network switch / router can have a maximum
length of 80 m/262 ft (IEEE 802.3). If you must span a
distance of more than 80 meters/262 feet you can put
a network switch inbetween.
If you have only two wires available at
the assembly location, you may use the
"DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE Converter
A1071", sold separately. It allows you to
transfer network data (Ethernet) and power
(PoE) with a simple two-wire cable over long
distances. For example, existing buildings
with a simple two-wire bell wire can be
equipped with network technology without
having to retrofit any network cables.
OPTION 2
WIFI 2.4 GHz
For reasons of network stability, we
principally recommend using a network
cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference
(range, house walls acting as shields,
reliability of performance, third party WiFi
networks, wireless transmitters causing
interference in the area, etc.).
When using WiFi please make sure you have a good
WiFi signal at the assembly location of the device.
You can increase the WiFi signal by using so called
"WiFi repeaters", which can boost your WiFi signal.
You should install such a WiFi repeater close to the
assembly location of the device, typically inside your
home and close to the device.

PREPARE POWER SUPPLY
The device does not have a battery as power supply,
therefore, choose one of the following options.
OPTION 1
Power supply using the power supply unit
(mains adaptor)
To power the device using the provided mains
adapter, 2 insulated wires are required. The power
supply unit has a 300 cm (9.8 ft) long cable with
two insulated wires. The network connection is then
established via a network cable or alternatively
via WiFi.
