Inside the box of the Video Doorbell Pro you’ll find a vertical angle bracket to help adjust the angle of your Video Doorbell Pro by 10 degrees. If you need a horizontal adjustment to the angle of your Video Doorbell Pro, reach out to our support team for assistance. They can send you a doorbell angle kit free of charge to help with your Video Doorbell Pro installation. The horizontal angle bracket can adjust the horizontal positioning of your Video Doorbell Pro by 15 degrees.

Video Doorbell Pro Installation Requirements

In order to install your Video Doorbell Pro, your home must meet the following requirements:

• Existing doorbell wiring

• A mechanical chime. Not compatible with digital chimes.

• A transformer with 8-24VAC, 10-30VA

Installing your Video Doorbell Pro With an Angle Bracket

You’ll install your Video Doorbell Pro with most of the same steps from our Installation Guide. The main difference is before you put on the mounting plate with the contacts that connect to your doorbell’s wiring, you’ll install the angle bracket.

If you received a doorbell angle kit from our support team, you’ll have a horizontal angle bracket in addition to a vertical one. With the longer screws included in the doorbell angle kit, you can install both a vertical and horizontal angle bracket together to adjust the angle of your Video Doorbell Pro in both directions.

As a first step, you’ll want to ensure that power has been cut to your doorbell and the existing doorbell has been removed. You’ll want to temporarily use electrical tape to adhere your wiring to the siding on your home so the wiring does not fall back into the doorbell hole.

Once that’s done, you’ll want to predrill the holes for the Video Doorbell Pro’s angle brackets, using the provided screws, or installing wall anchors as needed.

After that, you’ll need to line up the mounting plate with the angle brackets and secure it to the wall using the screws included in the doorbell angle kit. Use the smaller lengthed screws if you are using only a single angle bracket. If you plan to use the vertical and horizontal bracket together, please use the longer screws to adequately secure the angle brackets and mounting plate.

Once the angle bracket and mounting plate have been secured, you may continue to use our installation guide to secure your Video Doorbell Pro, and begin the setup using the SimpliSafe® Mobile App.
