Mounting Height/Location

Post by eb96 »

Looking at the position of the existing doorbell button at my place, it always seemed kind of low (even for regular doorbells) at just shy of 1m (about 39in). Interested in the Netatmo Video Doorbell but wondering if I’ll need to change the location. Can anyone share their mounting heights? If a person is standing arms length from the doorbell, any chance their head will be out of view?

Reading the FAQ, I found this:
How should the Smart Video Doorbell be positioned?
The Smart Video Doorbell is designed to replace your doorbell button, without changing its location. If, however, you are installing a doorbell for the first time, we recommend that you install it near your front door, around 1.4 metres from the ground.
I don’t know what’s a typical doorbell height for old construction and whether mine is atypical or like most. Is 1m vs. 1.4m enough out of range to be problematic?
