Step 1: Switching off power
Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. power supply unit for the
BirdGuard etc.
Step 2: Determining the assembly location
The BirdGuard uses an ultra wide-angle hemispheric lens so that even when the person is a minimum
distance of 50 cm (19.68 inches) away from the BirdGuard, a low installation height is sufficient. The
lens is therefore not mechanically adjustable. The camera lens should be located at an altitude of at
least 125 cm (49.22 inches). You may check this prior to the final mounting.
The BirdGuard is usually installed outdoors but can also be installed indoors.
(Optional) Press the mounting stand against the wall at the desired installation site and mark the
boreholes with a pencil. Remove the mounting stand again. Ensure that no cables are to be found in
the wall behind the boreholes.
Step 3: Power supply
The BirdGuard can be powered by two simple doorbell wires using the power-supply unit (mains
adaptor) supplied with it or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network cable. The BirdGuard can
alternatively also be supplied with a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us directly.
The BirdGuard does not use battery power. The use of a mains power supply permits the
transmission and display of on-demand live video at any time and not only if a visitor has pressed the
doorbell.
Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)
Two insulated wires are required to power the BirdGuard by plugging it into the mains. Only use the
power supply unit provided along with the BirdGuard, or a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can
obtain from us separately, since this has been specially stabilized electrically and is equipped with an
integrated audio interference reduction device. Other power supply units may destroy the BirdGuard
or cause poor transmission quality. The warranty automatically expires if you use a different power
supply unit. The power supply unit is plugged into a wall socket inside your house.
Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet. Connect the power supply unit inside the
house with the crimp connector provided and the two wires that you would like to use to power the
device.
Power supply
via PoE (
as an alternative
)
To power the BirdGuard via a PoE switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE injector (e.g. TP-Link TL-
PoE150S) in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing the
numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5 cable or better are to be used. A Cat.5 cable or better
must be used
as network signals can only be transmitted over completely insulated, shielded and twisted cables. If
you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the BirdGuard is automatically inactive, and
the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The BirdGuard won’t start if your PoE
Switch or PoE injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED
and Diagnostic-Sounds).
1. Disconnect the PoE switch or PoE injector from the power grid.
2. Place the network cable in the installation site of the BirdGuard.
Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply
via PoE.
