Step 3
Step 4a
Step 4b
Press and HOLD the code button for more than 3 seconds. A tone
will be heard when the button is released.
The intercom will now begin to transmit its own wifi network called
BELL-XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the 6 numerical digits from the
serial ID number).
>3 seconds
With the user’s phone, search for available wifi networks and connect
to the BELL network.
TIP: Your phone needs to be within range of the intercom to detect
this network.
Wifi passcode
Enter the default pass code 123456789 and the users phone should now
be connected directly to the intercom.
Press CONNECT on android devices and DONE on apple devices.
12 | P a g e
Step 5a, 5b, 5c
Step 5d, 5e
After pressing
SEARCH, the APP
will now search for
the intercom and
should detect it.
Intercom ID will be auto filled.
Enter “admin” for the main
user.
Enter “123456789” as the
default password and press
the TICK as shown.
13 | P a g e
Step 6
Step 7a,b,c,d
Note: The intercom and phone are directly connected in a point to point link. Although we know
the intercom is fully operational, we now need to connect it to the local wifi network.
The intercom is now searching the area for wifi networks and will display all compatible networks
on the App screen.
Press the Video icon to
view live video.
Note: at close proximity,
you will experience acoustic
feedback. This is normal.
TIP: If you can view live
video, and hear acoustics,
then this proves that the
intercom hardware is
working as it should.
Should be showing
ONLINE status.

Step 7e,f,g
Step 8
Ensure the date & time stamp are correct on the system. If this is not correct it
will prevent PUSH notifications being sent ot the devices, therefore potentially
missed calls.
If incorrect follow the steps below to correct:
•
Go to settings and then time settings, clock icon.
•
Select the correct time zone and save.
•
Go back to settings and click on the reboot icon, confirm reboot.
•
This will correct the time on the intercom.
Enter the WIFI PASSCODE for the
network which you are connecting to.
WARNING: Take care not to enter a
typing mistake. The intercom will accept
any wifi password and will not know if it
is correct or not!
Wifi Signal strength must be at least
25%, or you will have problems!
Wait 60 seconds.
The intercom will now
re-boot and attempt to
connect to the wifi
network with the
password you have
entered.
60 secs..
If you can see live
video and hear audio,
the intercom has
successfully
connected to the
network.
If for some reason this
does not work, try
connecting to the wifi
network again and
double check the wifi
password is correct.

Diagnostic Tips
1. Intercom is showing online status, but the video feed shows “fetching”.
A. This can be caused by poor power cable extended to the intercom, weak wifi, or too many
devices connected to the wifi network and the router is incapable of managing the workload.
2. Intercom is not showing online status.
A. This can be caused by incorrect wifi password created, or wifi dropping in and out due to weak
signal.
3. I can see video but there is no audio on the phone or there is no audio at the intercom.
A: This can be caused by the audio settings being too low on the phone, or permissions for the
app were not accepted during app install. Check microphone permissions for the app in the phone
settings.
4. The status is showing online, then connecting, then online again.
A: This is normal when a phone roams between two wifi connections, or between wifi and data.
Make sure the phone is stationary and either has good wifi or a stable data connection.
5. The video is inconsistent at different times of the day
A: Make sure the antenna has a clear line of sight and nothing is obstructing it.

LAN Setup
(When WiFi signal too weak or too far from signal)
This intercom can also be connected to a LAN cable directly from the router or from a repeater or
point-to-point wifi bridge device. Note: Ethernet LAN signals can travel 100m/300ft on CAT5
cable. Longer distances will require a powered switch or repeater every 100m/300ft.

Sound, Volumes and Speech
This intercom is capable of full duplex speech, which means two people can have a conversation
and appear to speak at the same time. Since various manufacturers of android phones, iPhones
and tablets all differ in acoustic performance, and different users may require varying levels of
volume on their own handset, it may be possible to setup some devices in full duplex mode but
others may need to be set in half duplex mode (phone user will press to talk). This may also be
required if a phone is in a particularly noisy environment, or the intercom is located near a busy
main road with high levels of traffic noise.
Choose the speech option which
best suits the individual and he
device being used.

Troubleshooting
It is worth remembering that when you install this intercom, you are literally only supplying 25% of
the overall system. The other 75% already exists with the customer. Namely the router, the wifi
network, and the phones or devices.
Anything can go wrong with any part of that entire system. Therefore, it is a useful exercise to
attempt to prove to the customer that the intercom hardware is working and operational before
attempting to diagnose the root cause, especially when connected wirelessly to a network.
If the intercom is connected via wifi to the network, it is very useful to press and hold the code
button on the board, then connect the phone DIRECTLY to the BELL wifi network (must be within
wifi range of intercom). Open the app, and show the customer that when the phone is connected
directly to the intercom, there is video and two way speech. The job is then to find out what part of
the installation or overall system is causing the problem since the intercom hardware has been
proven as operational.
We can say without doubt that when we do get hardware failures, the above process will not work
and you will not get video and voice to the phone in a direct connection like this.
Below are the most common causes of problems with installs, starting with the most common first.
Problem/error
Symptoms caused
Solution
Wrong power cable (too
thin) installed from 24v
adaptor to the intercom,
or power adaptor too far
from intercom.
Delayed push notifications,
video lag, voice problems,
freezing, relays not opening
the gate.
Change the power cable to
specifications shown within this
manual.
Additional user added
incorrectly.
Can randomly display status
“id already in use”
When an additional user was
being added, the process was
done incorrectly. Additional users
MUST be added by the admin
device first, with separate
usernames created for each. The
new usernames and passwords
must be used by the new devices
as shown in this manual to logon
to the intercom.
