The Philips Wireless Video Doorbell can be installed in two different ways:

- Mount the doorbell on the bracket: align the doorbell at the bottom and then push up until it snaps into place at the top.
Wired installation (option 2):
- Turn off the power at the breaker and confirm by toggling the home lights.
