EASY Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Generation) INSTALLATION FLUSH MOUNT TO WALL and Unboxing

[@mikewinter598]

Any reason you just didn't tape the new USB wire to the old one? and skip the coat hanger?

[@christianherrera101]

Use a drill bit Brody make life easier

[@AlbieVlogging]

Here I was. Almost making 2 holes in my wall just to find out it's rechargeable. 😅 Good thing I researched first before making the holes. 🤣

[@INF1NTY__]

Just figured that out I was like why is it still working and it’s unplugged lol

[@Tee-fz4mf]

Thank you. Can you please make a video on how to charge it?

[@curiousottman]

I had to pour bleach in my eyes after seeing this DIY.

[@andreajones7127]

How do you charge it

[@emid5726]

Does it have to be wired? It cannot be battery powered?

[@julianmariani642]

You can charge it

[@stephanfilm5684]

Wiring it is really not necessary at all. It will easily last for 6 months or more on a charge. Mine has been installed for four months and still reads fully charged. Then just charge it as needed. The only part of the system that needs to be permanently plugged in is the base station.

[@TheMochaangel]

@@stephanfilm5684 hi, just confirming… so there’s already a battery on the inside of the keypad unit?

[@TheMochaangel]

Must the keypad be plugged in 24/7? I was just thinking, what prevents someone from yanking it from the outlet? Is there a battery inside? Thanks

[@mikewinter598]

Hi you dont need to connect the the keypad this way. Once you charge it up, will last 9-12 months depending on use.

[@TheMochaangel]

@@mikewinter598 awesome, thanks… I’ll let it charge for 24 hrs :-)

[@mikewinter598]

@@TheMochaangel not even sure my replies are making it thru

[@TheMochaangel]

@@mikewinter598 just the one from four days ago …. I had a blunder yesterday, I was bringing in groceries, walked in my place to drop off five bags, proceeded to return to my car to get the rest and I swear it seem like anarchy… that alarm was extremely loud, my cell phone was getting calls from RING lol, I panicked lol….. but at least I know for sure it works. I just need to know how many seconds I have to quickly plug in my code

[@mikewinter598]

@@TheMochaangel sure, so the factory default setting is 60 to disarm. To change it to 180 seconds for example, you go into modes, look for Away, you will see you can change the entry delay and exit delay there.

Thanks

[@rachelwest1642]

I am having so many issues with the dry wall anchors

[@TheBoxster1998]

Next time, run that wire on the outlet cover…remove the cover and it will slide through that and all that wire hanging will be hidden. And no big holes on the wall..

[@chicarolinaguy]

Great idea

[@BradGreeff]

Those wires are not rated for being behind the wall, you put random holes in your wall with wires going through them and you left the paint colors different.

[@rachelwest1642]

At this point i am thinking of just patching the holes in my wall and just using command strips

[@christianherrera101]

Dude wtf why not just tape it to the same wire your pulling out you crazy af

[@stephanfilm5684]

Perhaps you should buy a drill and make holes with that instead of five minutes of trial and error with an awl. Also you could have used the old wire as a pull for the new wire. No need for all that work with a coat hanger.

[@jakeguitar01]

You're right. I should have used a drill. The old wire could have been a pull wire. However, I was demonstrating the need for a pull wire if you had a new installation going in. For new installations, you would need a pull wire put in place, and the coat hanger is something the average person may have lying around to get the job done. For a more professional installation, fish tape and some more professional tools would have been used.

[@presidentcamacho]

@@jakeguitar01 I enjoyed the video. I would have used the same "tools" because that is something i do have laying around. Reminds me of MacGyver, use what you got. Besides, a lot of people are not going to spend extra money just for one install.

[@taylorthompson6092]

@@presidentcamacho Just think of all the other things you can install with a new drill though... Drills have electrolytes.

[@stephanfilm5684]

Honestly don’t understand why you need to wire the keypad anyway. It’s internal battery can last six months or more.

[@AbolishTheSNT]

This is not a flush mounting iev equipment resist into the wall.... This is surface mounting ie attached to the wall.

[@RavenousFallen]

I see no real need to do this. You only need to charge the keypad about once a year with power save enabled and having it plugged up just wastes electricity charging it 24/7, similar to charging a cellphone all day and increases risk of it getting damaged in a storm. It's actually bad on the battery to constantly charge it like this long term.

[@TheMochaangel]

Wait, sooooo are you saying this doesn’t have to be plugged in always??? I’m praying that’s correct because I can simply use command strips.

[@RavenousFallen]

@@TheMochaangel The keypad is operated on a re-chargable battery that lasts a really long time in power save mode. But even if it's a vacation home you only visit once a year, your Ring app will notify you the battery on keypad is dead if it dies and in that event you just disarm through the mobile app.

[@RavenousFallen]

@@TheMochaangel I don't know what command strips are but the keypad comes with a mounting plate you screw into the wall. The keypad slides out of the mounting plate whenever you need to charge it. Or you can just sit it on a table. Doesn't matter.

[@TheMochaangel]

@@RavenousFallen Thank you sooooo much, this is actually great news. Command strips are by 3M which is a big company that allows you to hang pictures, art, etc with strips that has an adhesive tape strip on it.

[@TheMochaangel]

@@RavenousFallen where on the app can I see the battery status? I left the keypad charged over night but I dont want to take it out too prematurely

[@Philosophe422]

you could of just used a two way tape to mount the base it has a 9 month rechargeable battery lol

[@pw1857]

This is mounting not installation/programming.

[@christianherrera101]

Doesn’t look professional and it’s crooked use a level you beginner * new list of tools 1) drill bit set 2)LEVEL 3)DRILL

[@santoschavez7932]

That was such a unprofessional install. Passing the charging cord through a hole in the wall and come out of another hole. Looks like shit when you look around the corner.

[@itguru8663]

… this is some real DIY… 🤮

[@jasonsmith5494]

Non of this is what professional does or should look like. ADT gives professional a bad name.

[@christianherrera101]

Haha you made the hole too big
