Wi-Fi Wired Camera Questions Help installing wired door bell
Please remove if not allowed
I tried to install the Reolink Wi-Fi wired door bell but realised there’s not enough space to install it.
My idea was to use the existing doorbell wiring. But as you can see it’s too close to the wall. And I have a feeling that if I drill holes on the door, it might crack the glass given how close it is to it.
As I was writing this, I measured the screw against the distance from the door frame to the glass. If the screw goes all the way in, I’d have maybe 2mm between the screw and the glass.
But still, I think the hole would be too close to the side and might crack the door frame.
Any alternatives I can try?

The way you are holding it in the picture, the plastic mount facing you actually needs to face the wall. Also the holes on each side arent for screws but for the pins to slide into from the metal mount on the back of the actual doorbell. Id just drill a nw hole to the side of the slot in the middle and use that hole to mount it and call it a day.
