How to Connect ADT Doorbell to New WIFI 

Follow these steps:

1. Power and Observe the LED

On the rear side of your doorbell camera, locate the turn-on-switch, and press it. Allow 20 seconds to pass or until the LED begins to flash red. If your doorbell camera doesn’t power off, it has probably run out of charge. The battery has about 40 minutes of operation. Charge the doorbell camera using the Micro USB cable and the USB charger for two hours before installing it.

What if the LED isn’t flashing red? Long press the reset button for 15 seconds or so. Doing so sends the WIFI camera to default settings. Begin the installation process all over again.
