Step 3 –Installing Neposmart in Your Garage
Installing your new Neposmart in your garage is easy. The Neposmart is connected to two things that allow it to monitor
and control your garage door. One of these is the magnetic switch included with Neposmart. This switch is mounted on
your garage door and allows Neposmart to determine whether the door is open or closed. Additionally, Neposmart is
connected to your garage door opening unit switch. This allows Neposmart to open and close your garage door. Both of
these are connected using the included bell wire. Do not install Neposmart if your garage door does not have an electric
eye safety system or equivalent safety system where the door will automatically reverse if something is blocking the door
from closing to prevent harm or property damage.
1. The first thing you will want to do is disconnect your garage door opening unit from electrical power. Youcan do this
from the circuit breakers, or you can unplug your garage door opening unit.
2. Collect your tools. You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a sturdy ladder if you are mounting Neposmart on the ceiling,
wire-cutting pliers, wire strippers (if you do not have wire strippers you can also use a sharp knife or pair of scissors to
carefully strip the wires), a hammer and cord staples or tape.
3. First, you will have to determine how you would like to connect Neposmart to your garage door opening unit. Take
a short look at the button or button panel that you push to open and close your garage door. Neposmart can control
garage doors that have single button or button-only controls directly. If the device that controls your garage directly has
a screen, you will need to connect to your garage door opener wirelessly instead. This is accomplished by connecting
a wireless garage remote control to Neposmart. (See “Connecting Neposmart to Your Wireless Garage Opener
Remote” for instructions)
4. Before you begin connecting, pick a place to mount your Neposmart.
5. Ideally, Neposmart should be mounted so the camera has a good view of your entire garage, or at very least, the part
of the garage you would like to observe. Make sure that the location has a moderately strong Wifi signal or that you
can run an Ethernet cable to it. You may also use a Wifi extender or bridge to improve the Wifi signal if needed. You will
also need a close-by power outlet, or be able to run an appropriately rated extension cord to that location.
6. Now that you have found a place to mount, take a good look at what you are mounting Neposmartto.
If the surface you are mounting on is wood, you can drill holes with a wood drill bit and use the included screws to
mount it. If you are mounting to drywall, use the supplied screw-type drywall anchors to ensure that it will be
secure. If using drywall anchors, screw the anchors in first, and then screw the bracket onto the wall. If you are
mounting to a metal surface, use bolts or metal screws and the appropriate metal drill bit if needed.
7. Finally, attach your Neposmart to the bracket using the tripod socket on the base.
