Connect the Smart Chime Using AP Mode

To ensure sufficient Wi-Fi signal, complete these steps with the chime in close proximity to your router.

Plug the smart chime into a non-switched electrical outlet. Wait for the power LED to change from flashing to solid.
On an internet-enabled device, connect to the Wi-Fi network Chime Config (XX:XX:XX) where XX:XX:XX is the last six characters of the smart chime’s MAC address, located on the back of the chime or on the packaging. To connect, use the Wi-Fi password located on the back of the chime, on the packaging, or on the sticker that is included in the packaging. Note: this configuration network will only be available when the device is not connected to the home’s Wi-Fi network. To switch to a different Wi-Fi network, while actively connected to the original network, use the smart chime’s wireless network settings page on the Brinks Home App.

Placing Your Smart Chime

Unplug the smart chime and move it to a non-switched electrical outlet near your video doorbell. Wait for the power LED to change from flashing to solid.
If the router LED begins flashing, wait for the LED to change from blinking to solid.
If the router LED does not begin flashing, your smart chime is too far from your home router. Identify a non-switched electrical outlet closer to your home router and return to step 1.
Once the router LED is solid, you can assess the strength of the signal being received on the smart chime’s wireless network settings page.

Connect the ADC-VDB780B Video Doorbell Camera to the Smart Chime and Wi-Fi

Be sure to add the smart chime to your Brinks Home App account before using WPS mode to connect to the video doorbell camera.

Ensure the video doorbell camera (ADC-VDB780B) is less than 10 feet away from the smart chime (ADC-W115C).
Press and release the WPS button on the Smart Chime. The WPS LED will rapidly flash to indicate that the device is in WPS mode.
Press and hold the doorbell camera button firmly for at least 30 seconds. The LED will begin flashing blue then flash three times before turning solid, indicating a successful pairing.
