FR 1.0 DESCRIPTION DU PRODUIT

GB 1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Alecto doorbell camera DVC-1000 is a doorbell push-button with camera and can replace the existing doorbell pusher. If the old installation is a mechanical doorbell (a doorbell operating with a spindle and clapper), it may remain operational.

Easy installation without pulling wires, suitable for nearly all current installations.

The internal battery is charged via the installation. For correct functioning, the battery should be full and should be kept fully charted.

Via the WIFI connection of the doorbell camera you'll be informed when somebody press the doorbell push-button. Additionally, it's possible to make a video recording of the person standing in front of the door. The free app (AlectoCam) allows you to see who's visiting you. You may then choose to speak with that person.

The AlectoCam app is developed for Android and iOS devices.

The camera is provided with night lighting for a clear view of any objects within 5 meters from the camera in a dark environment.

When everything is working properly, you should first change your password. The default factory password is not unique, which would allow others to use your UID code and gain unauthorised access to your camera.

ATTENTION: The AlectoCam app is developed for operating multiple types of camera. The app may offer functions that are not supported by the currently used camera.

2.0 Preparation before the installation

To have the doorbell camera work via the WIFI network and the associated APP on the phone or tablet, it must first be registered on the WIFI network.

1. Connect the supplied battery to the doorbell camera via the connector and then insert the battery into the battery compartment.

1. Connect the doorbell camera to a doorbell transformer or a separate adaptor (i.e. power source) of 12 Volts and 1 Amp. The power supply may provide either direct current or alternating current, however please use a power supply of at least 1A. Press the clip at the top of the terminal block and insert the wires into the terminal block. Do not yet press the doorbell of the camera; otherwise you'll cause a short circuit in the power supply. The battery is now being charged.

1. Connect the supplied separate UTP connection to the terminal block at the bottom of the doorbell camera. Now use a UTP cable to connect the doorbell camera with the router used in your home.

Advice: Charge the battery for at least 12 hours.

1. Download the AlectoCam APP via the Play Store or App Store.

Android

6. Launch the app to make contact with the camera.

Note: The operation screen may differ somewhat between iOS and Android.

4.0 OVERVIEW

terminal block (power and UTP plug)

5.0 INSTALLATION

When replacing the doorbell pusher for the DVC-1000, check whether it's connected in the following way. Also check whether the current doorbell is of the mechanical type. A mechanical doorbell has a spindle and clapper. Doorbell transformers providing 8V must be replaced by a 12V type.

1. Ensure the doorbell installation is without power by switching off the doorbell transformer.
2. Remove the push-button that is mounted at the (front) door.
3. Place the bell pusher holder of the DVC-1000 onto the door post. Make sure to lead the wires through the hole of the terminal block.
4. If required, strip the wires to ensure that the copper core of the wire is exposed by 5mm .
5. Connect the wires to the terminal block of the bell pusher by depressing the pull tab at the top and inserting the wires into the connector. Release the pull tab again making sure that the wires are secured in the terminal block.
6. Reconnect the doorbell transformer to the mains and switch it back on.
7. The doorbell camera will then start-up and connect to the router.
8. Press and hold the Reboot button at the rear for 5 seconds to have the doorbell start-up correctly.
9. Click the doorbell pusher into the holder and use the locking screws at the bottom to fasten the doorbell pusher into the holder.
10. The doorbell camera is now ready for use.

Note: If the battery capacity is too low and the battery is not sufficiently charged, the WIFI connection will fail. You'll be informed of this through a voice prompt. As soon as the battery is sufficiently charged, the connection with the WIFI router will be made and then you'll have access to the doorbell via the app.

ATTENTION: The rechargeable battery may still need to be charged. As soon as the doorbell transformer is switched on, the battery starts charging. For a correct functioning the battery must be reasonably charged. This may take up to 24 hours.

Because the battery is being charged, a low voltage runs through the circuit that also runs up to the doorbell. This may cause the clapper to vibrate somewhat. You can resolve this by placing the supplied resistor over the spindle. If this is not sufficient, you may place a second resistor over the spindle.

The doorbell can also function outside an existing installation. Through the Alecto service department you may order an extra separate wireless doorbell (DVC-25). The additional separate wireless doorbell is inserted directly into a wall socket.

6.1 TO CONNECT THE DOORBELL PUSHER

The doorbell pusher should be connected to an external adaptor or doorbell transformer. The adaptor must supply a minimum of 1 Amp while the voltage must range between 8 and 12V . This may be either direct current or alternating current.

Connect the doorbell pusher in the same way as is described in the paragraph 4.0 Installation.

The wires found at the old doorbell now serve for the adaptor or transformer. See below diagram:

You may also place the transistor close to the adaptor or transformer.

6.2 TO CONNECT THE (EXTRA) DOORBELL

You may order a wireless doorbell via the service department of Alecto. This doorbell is also suitable as an additional doorbell for an existing installation. When you've received the doorbell, it should be inserted into a free wall socket.

Use the doorbell melody setting to select the desired melody (36 melodies).

Press the Setting button for the next melody.

Use the doorbell volume setting adjust the volume in 4 increments or to turn the sound off. To do so, repeatedly press the button.

8.0 TIPS AND WARNINGS

8.1 GENERAL

• Read the user manual carefully and follow all instructions.
  Take care of proper heat dissipation; never cover the camera unit and/or the power supply adapter(s), and do not place them directly beside a heat source. The camera and adaptor already become warm themselves during operation.
  Take care that the cables and the adapter do not get damaged, and prevent that they cause tripping or falling.
• Never disassemble the camera unit and/or adaptor; this may only be performed by qualified personnel.
• The video connection occurs via the public internet and is secure according to the current standards, but can still be hacked. We are not liable for this in any way. We advise you to instantly change the password, preferably using a combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

8.2 MAINTENANCE

• Only clean the camera with a moist cloth; never use chemical cleaners. Before any cleaning, you must disconnect the adapters.

8.3 ERROR

After installation of the DVC-1000 to current doorbell doesn't function.

It may happen that after installing the DVC-1000 the current installation is no longer working

properly. This is due to the power usage and charging of the battery of the DVC-1000. In this case, replace the transformer with a 12 VAC/2A type and the doorbell with a 12 VAC type.

• Because the DVC-1000 also requires power in standby mode to e.g. recharge the battery, the doorbell may audiably vibrate a little. In this case, place the supplied resistor over the spindle of the doorbell. If this still doesn't resolve the problem, place a second resistor over the doorbell. This depends on the doorbell you're using. The doorbell will no longer function when placing too many resistors. When the battery is fully charged, this vibration will lessen or stop completely.
  In case the camera no longer shows any images and/or there's no more sound, please check the following:

• the camera is connected

• the correct UID code is used
• the correct password is used
• restart the camera by briefly interrupting its power supply
• reboot the camera by depressing the Reboot button for 5 seconds
• use a paperclip to depress the Reset button for at least 10 seconds to reset the camera. The camera will now reboot. Repeat the entire setup and actions from the beginning, because all settings will be reset to the default factory settings
• restart your smartphone or tablet.

• replace the camera in the app.

• When it becomes dark, the camera will switch to the night mode and turn on the infra-red lights. In certain environmental lighting conditions, the screen might start flashing. You can resolve this by increasing or decreasing the environmental light.
  If you still see no images, please contact the service department of Alecto.

8.4 IMAGE DELAY

• Because of coding and decoding of the images, there will be a slight delay in the signal. The image quality also depends on changes in the bandwidth via internet. If required, set the resolution (image quality) to a lower value.

8.5 DATAUSE

If you're using a mobile network, please keep in mind that the data use can increase considerably while watching video. We recommend you to use a Wi-Fi network.
- Also the battery usage of your smartphone or tablet will increase.
