Secure Vista Setup Guide

Set up your Secure Vista doorbell and indoor monitor in minutes. Follow the steps in order for a clean, reliable install.

  1. Unpack and check contents

    • Doorbell unit
    • Indoor monitor/screen
    • Two mounting plates (solid slot plate and open-window plate)
    • USB-C charging cable and power adapter
    • Screws and wall anchors
    • Stickers and user manual

  2. Charge and power on

    • Connect the doorbell to the USB-C cable; charge until the indicator shows full.
    • Power on the indoor monitor; keep both devices within a few feet.

  3. Pair doorbell with monitor

    • On the monitor, open Settings → Add/Pair Device.
    • Press and hold the doorbell button until its LED begins pairing.
    • Wait for the monitor to confirm connection; name the device.

  4. Set date, time, and chime volume on the monitor

    • Adjust screen brightness, ringtone, and volume using the front buttons.

  5. Choose your mounting location

    • Place the doorbell 48–60 inches (120–150 cm) from the ground, near door trim.
    • Ensure Wi-Fi/monitor signal is strong at that spot; move closer if needed.

  6. Pick a mounting plate

    • Use the solid slot plate for flat surfaces.
    • Use the open-window plate if routing wires or aligning to a junction box.

  7. Mark holes

    • Hold the plate against the wall, level it, and mark screw positions.

  8. Drill and insert anchors (masonry/brick/stucco only)

    • Drill pilot holes; insert wall anchors flush with the surface.
    • For wood, skip anchors and use screws directly.

  9. Attach the mounting plate

    • Secure with the provided screws; confirm it’s firmly fixed and level.

  10. Mount the doorbell

    • Slide the doorbell onto the plate until it clicks.
    • Tighten any set screw on the bottom if present.

  11. Test operation

    • Press the doorbell; confirm the monitor rings, shows video, and audio works.
    • Adjust angle by reseating on the plate if needed.

  12. Finalize settings

    • Set motion detection/sensitivity and notification preferences.
    • Adjust screen sleep timer/brightness.
    • Apply the Secure Vista stickers near the entry if desired.

Tips

  • If video lags, reduce monitor distance or minimize obstacles between devices.
  • Recharge the doorbell when the battery indicator is low; charge via the USB-C port.
  • For weather exposure, mount under an eave if possible and avoid direct rainfall runoff.
