  2. Use the tape measure to measure and mark where you want to install the doorbell camera.
  3. Once you’ve marked where you want to install your doorbell camera, use the spirit level to make sure it’s level.
  4. Use the electric drill and the wall bit to make a hole in the wall at the place you have previously marked. Make sure the hole is big enough to pass the wires through.
  5. Now, insert the plugs into the hole and use the screwdriver to fix the mounting plate on the wall with the screws.
  6. Connect the power cables from the doorbell camera to the transformer and make sure they are connected correctly.
  7. Attach the camera doorbell to the mounting plate, making sure it is level.
  8. Finally, check that the camera doorbell is working properly and adjust the settings according to your preferences.
