Hey guys, what's up? This is Tyler from Nelly's Security and today I just want to walk you
through a quick issue I've been having. Now it's not an issue with our doorbell. Our doorbell's
great. The issue is with Amazon, the mailman. When someone rings the doorbell to let us
know that we have a package or something like that, it never fails that our kids are asleep,
the dogs go crazy. One of the reasons the NSC-DB2 is so awesome is because it integrates
directly with your current-- One of the reasons that the NSC-DB2 is so awesome is because
it integrates directly with your current doorbell chime so you can wire it to your previous
doorbell's wiring and instantly it is connected to your mechanical chime. However, if you
find yourself in a situation similar to mine, you may want to deactivate your mechanical
chime and just use the doorbell and the notifications from the mobile app-- (baby coos)
And leave it unconnected from your-- (baby coos)
And leave it unconnected-- (baby coos)
From your mechanical chime. I think-- (baby coos)
I think he's mocking me.
So without further ado, let's get into it.
Alright, so here I have, this is our doorbell chime here in the middle of our hallway. I'm
gonna go ahead and take this cover off. And you can see our chime in there. Now I know
this probably looks a little bit confusing, so I'm gonna also throw a diagram up here
on the screen to help you understand what's going on. We have, this is the power booster
that comes with the NSC-DB2 and these two thick gray cables coming out of the wall,
let me see which one, I believe this one right here is coming from the doorbell. That's those
two wires out front. And then this cable right here is coming from our transformer. So what
we have here, essentially, the doorbell is connected both to the transformer and to this
power booster, which is connected to the chime. And the transformer is connected to the doorbell
and to the power booster, which is connected to the chime. I know it's confusing, it's
a lot, but, again, that diagram on the screen will help you understand that a little bit better.
Essentially, we need to completely disconnect this from the doorbell. We're still going
to use the power booster, but in the place of the doorbell chime, we are going to use
this fuse. This came with the NSC-DB2 as well. Hopefully you held onto this. This is essentially
a resistor. It's going to take the place of that doorbell chime, just so the doorbell
and the transformer are not directly connected to each other. It's still going to be going
through this. So let's go ahead and take care of that.
Alright there we go. We are now good. Literally all I did was unscrew the power booster from
the transformer screw and the front doorbell screw and I just connected those two with
this resistor.
Alright, once we have the wiring all ready to go, we just need to change the setting
from our mobile app, Guarding Vision. So once you open Guarding Vision and click on your
doorbell there, click the three dots in the corner and click "Settings." From here we're
going to go to "Chime Type" and change our chime from "Mechanical" to "Not Installed."
It's going to remind us to install this power resistor, which we've already done, so we
will click "Finish." And there we go. Let's go ahead and test this out.
Now I am outside. We are at our front door. And here is our beautiful doorbell, the NSC-DB2.
I'm gonna go ahead and ring it and we're going to see what happens. Now you can see it rings
here at the front of the house, and I am getting the notification here from Guarding Vision.
Let me go ahead and ring that one more time with the camera inside the house so we can
hear what's happening.
And nothing. We got the doorbell there at the front, I got the notification on my phone,
but no loud doorbell in the house to make these dogs freak out, to wake up our kids.
This is exactly what we were looking for. Now I'm gonna head back to the office and
show you what to do if you don't already have a mechanical chime, or really any kind of
doorbell chime in your house. There is a way that you can wire this to an AC power supply.
I'm going to show you how to do that, so let's head back to Nelly's Security.
Alright, we're here at Nelly's Security, and the product that you're going to need is this
24V AC power supply, and I will leave a link to this down in the description. If you do
not have a current doorbell chime and you don't have a transformer, this is what you're
going to use to power your doorbell. Now let's head out here to our test bench and I will
show you how this is done.
Alright, here we have our test doorbell here, and it's currently hooked up to our transformer
and our chime. I also have our transformer, our fuse, we got some wire here. So let's
get this thing disconnected and connected to our transformer. But remember, we do have
to add this resistor here between the doorbell and the power supply. So this is how we'll
do it. Go ahead and attach that fuse to one screw of the doorbell, the other end of that
fuse we will attach directly to this wire, and then this black wire we will just wire
directly into the doorbell. On the other end of the wire, we will take this and screw it
into place on either pole of this 24V AC power supply. And there we go, let's get this thing
plugged in.
Beautiful! We have our doorbell up and running. And let's go ahead and push this button. (Ding
dong!) So there you go. That's just a couple of additional ways for you to set this doorbell
up, whether you have a doorbell chime and you just want to bypass it, or even if you
have no chime at all, you can still enjoy the benefits of the NSC-DB2. This doorbell
has a ton of great features, and we do have a couple of other videos on this channel for
you to check out if you're interested. Again, I will leave product links in the description
below, both to the doorbell and to this 24V AC power supply. I hope this video was helpful
