Special Case - Reuse the Existing Intercom Wiring
The WUUK wired video doorbell doesn’t work with existing intercom power and signal systems, but you can reuse the existing wiring if you no longer use the Intercom wiring.
1. Trace the wires from the outdoor device back to the indoor. For example, you select the specific color of the wires on the outdoor device and find the wires with the same color indoor.
2. Replace the original intercom device at the front door with a WUUK wired video doorbell. Connect to the selected wires.
3. Get a power adapter to charge the wired doorbell (19V - 0.6A power adapter).
4. Connect the wires on the power cord to the selected intercom wires indoors.
5. Plug in the power adapter and check if the video doorbell is powered up.
