Introduction
This document walks a user through the process of using ClareVision doorbells with Luma Network Video Recorders (NVRs). There are currently 2 versions of the Clare Video Doorbell (CVD), the CVD – v2 and the CVD – v3. Use the configuration instructions for the correct version doorbell.
Clare Video Doorbell v2
Note: The CVD – v2 is currently available in the Snap One store.
Follow the instructions below to use the CVD v2 with a Luma NVR.
To use the CVD – v2 with Luma NVRs:

- Click Settings (double cog icon) in the side-menu.

Adding Method: Manual
Protocol: LUMA

Note: We recommend using a DHCP reservation in the router to prevent a change in the CVD IP address. If the CVD obtains a new IP address, it breaks the network connection with the NVR.
Password: Enter the desired password and confirm
Note: If the CVD is configured on the same network as an existing ClareHome controller, the password is automatically set to Secure7519. If there is no ClareHome controller, the password is manually configured by the installer.

Note: Alarm notifications in the app do not have to be enabled for the NVR to get motion events.
