How to install my Philips Wireless Video Doorbell?
In this article, you can find the instructions on how to install and mount your Philips Wireless Video Doorbell. Both for wired and wireless installation. You can also find detailed instructions in the Quick Start Guide included in the box.
Wireless: the doorbell is battery-operated and can be placed anywhere you like. This requires the doorbell to be charged.

Option 2: For short doorbell wires, use the extensions. Attach them to your existing wires, twist them together and secure them with grey screw tops. Connect the V-shaped end to the doorbell and screw in terminal screws halfway. Join the V-shaped ends and tighten the screws for a secure connection.
