Installing your Outdoor Camera (V722 model) / Install the camera on your SmartHome App

When selecting a location to mount your Outdoor Camera, there are 3 important considerations:

__Wi-Fi strength__. Your camera requires a minimum of 2.5 MegaBits per second upload speed, but a stronger signal will create a more reliable and higher quality video feed. To test your Wi-Fi speed at your chosen location, run a speed test on a phone or laptop at that location by visiting [__telus.com/speedtest__](https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/speed-test). If you are unable to find a location with adequate Wi-Fi coverage, consider purchasing a TELUS Boost Wi-Fi to extend the range of your home Wi-Fi network. Call TELUS support for more information.

__Cable length__. Before mounting, you’ll need to plot a route to run the cable to a power outlet. In some cases, you may want to drill through a wall or run the cable along the siding. For more length, a DC extension cable can be purchased to insert between the camera and outlet segments of cable. The cable could be secured to the wall with staples, a cable track or raceway or any number of cable fasteners available at your local hardware store. Be sure to allow enough slack to adjust the cable as needed.

__Camera angle__. You will want to aim the camera with a good view. You can view the live feed of a connected camera in your SmartHome app. For your video analytics to work best, the camera should be 8 to 15 feet above the ground.

To mount the outdoor camera, you’ll need to drill holes into the wall. Use the longer screws that were included with the camera if you’re drilling into wood, and we recommend using the anchors for stucco or brick walls. You can then mount the camera body into the wall using the included screws.

Installing your Doorbell Camera / Before you start

Make sure your existing doorbell is in working order and there is a good Wi-Fi signal at your doorbell location.

1. Press your doorbell and listen for your doorbell chime to ring.[img src="//images.ctfassets.net/9mt4r6ro1ay9/jcxlBhuUsva8Q52BxuppP/e481884217956b21fd9c0fb7baf8f72f/Check_doorbell_camera.png" alt="An illustration of a person's finger pressing on the doorbell and musical notes to indicate the sound of a doorbell chime." max-width="375"]
__Didn’t ring?__
If the existing doorbell does not ring the indoor chime when the button is pressed, there may be a power issue. Consult an electrician before beginning the installation process.
2. Check your Wi-Fi speed at the door: The Doorbell Camera requires a minimum of 2.5 Mbps upload speed to operate. In a browser on your smartphone visit [__telus.com/SpeedTest__](https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/speed-test) to determine the Internet speed.[img src="//images.ctfassets.net/9mt4r6ro1ay9/4E4RItIAi5cNokCJ0XQoo8/4838257fae3f6091ac8c2ef54783e6ab/Internet_Speed_test.png" alt=”An illustration of the TELUS Internet Speed Test.” max-width="300"]


Installing your Doorbell Camera / Step 1: Check your doorbell

Identify whether the chime is mechanical (ding-dong) or digital (plays a melody). You can identify the type by looking inside the chime box.

| __Chime types__	     | __Characteristic__     | __Requirement__     |
| ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| Mechanical       | Metal bar and striker pin. Makes a "ding-dong" sound when the doorbell is pressed.       | No modification needed.       |
| Digital       | Speaker. Plays a melody when the doorbell is pressed.       | Need to add a digital adapter.       |

[img src="//images.ctfassets.net/9mt4r6ro1ay9/6eJjRQjNc9UjiGSkcvy6rR/adf7d4fee2b38c5380bb979e40d281e9/Check_mechanical_chime.png" alt=”An illustration of inside the mechanical chime and musical notes to indicate a "ding-dong" sound.” max-width="415"]

Requires installation of Digital Doorbell Adapter. For installation instructions, please refer to step 9.

__Don’t have one of these?__
If your chime box is not either of the above options or you have an intercom system, then it is incompatible with the Doorbell Camera.

Installing your Doorbell Camera / Step 2: Check your chime

1. Before beginning, turn off the breaker that controls your doorbell circuit.[img src="//images.ctfassets.net/9mt4r6ro1ay9/38Vqc48OJcwWpS1Trc6xzg/01251e321fa984ebd4de417ffbc76131/Shut_off_power.png" alt=”An illustration of a hand turning off the breaker that controls your doorbell circuit.” max-width="370"]
