Add or Reconnect a Video Doorbell

Learn how to set up a video doorbell by completing the following steps. For more information about installing a video doorbell, refer to the appropriate Video Installation Guide.

Note: The video doorbell requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal. It does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

Add a SecureCom Video Doorbell (Model V-4060DB)

Ensure that your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network that the video doorbell will use. This allows the doorbell to automatically inherit your Wi-Fi network during configuration.

After powering up, the doorbell announces that it is ready to be configured. If no action is taken within three minutes, reset the doorbell by pressing and holding the RESET button for 5 seconds. The doorbell announces when the reset sequence is complete.

1. Go to the Doorbell tab.

2. Tap the Edit icon.

3. Tap Set Up Doorbell.

4. Scan the QR code on the front of the video doorbell. Suggested scanning distance is 2-4 inches. The doorbell sounds when it is synced. If the device is not able to read the QR code, you can try scanning the code again or enter the information manually. If you select manual entry, enter the Serial Number and Verification Code located on the front of the video doorbell.

5. Select Configure Wi-Fi.

6. When prompted, enter the passphrase for your Wi-Fi network. Tap Continue.

7. A QR code appears on your device screen. Hold the QR code in front of the doorbell. Suggested scanning distance is 2-4 inches. When connection is successful, the doorbell states: “Wi-Fi is connected. Doorbell is registered.”

8. Give your doorbell a name and tap Finish.

When installation is successful, the doorbell automatically opens a live view window on your device. From the live view, you can arm your system, disarm your system, or activate a favorite. You can also download clips from your doorbell onto your device.

Reconnect the SecureCom Doorbell

If you change your network SSID or password, you’ll need to remove, reboot, and reconnect your video doorbell in the Virtual Keypad app. To re-add a doorbell to your system, complete the following steps:

1. Tap the Menu icon and select Video.

2. Tap the Edit icon, then tap Delete.

3. Tap the Delete icon next to the doorbell that you want to delete.

4. Tap OK to delete the doorbell.

5. Remove the cover from the video doorbell.

6. Hold the reset button for 25 seconds or until the doorbell states “Doorbell is rebooting”.

7. Follow the instructions to add your doorbell.

Connect to a Third-Party Service

If you subscribe to a compatible third-party video service like OpenEye or DW Spectrum, you can use these services in Virtual Keypad. Ask your alarm company about enabling compatible integrations.

1. Tap the Menu icon, then tap Video.

2. Tap the Edit icon, then tap connect for the appropriate third-party service.

3. Enter your credentials for the service, then tap Log In.

Once your third-party service’s account is connected in Virtual Keypad, you can connect to and manage cameras.
