How To Install Ring Doorbell Wired

[@srod679]

Great video, truly helped me set-up in 30 minutes, and I'm almost 60 yrs old. The one thing I noticed is if you set-it up with Alexa (Echo Dot), it will ring through the Eco Dot, you hear a chime on the Eco Dot, so I didn't need to buy the ringer for it. Thank you once again.

[@latonyamckoy2066]

Thank you for the echo dot information I purchased that along with my ring doorbell. I’m so excited to install it!

[@PharaohChin]

Almost 60? The universe blessed you. You don’t even look almost 50! 😉

[@tellytele3535]

I did the same I have a DOT and a SHOW so now it rings everywhere I might get one for the basement but only if I really want to

[@iamjoachim2542]

do we really need a transformer to wire the doorbell? will it not work with the regular current ?

[@magiccarpetrider4594]

I did it in 15 min and I’m 70. Rings through my Ring control box and Ring apps on iDevices. I had an older SECŪR360 installed last, which changed all the original wiring. I ended just connecting the transformer output to the doorbell wires directly. No ding-dong yet on my Echo Dot gen 2, but I have a newer Echo coming. Now we need an 80 year old to do it in 10!

[@JenniferM0531]

I was going to pay someone to do this for me but I followed your video and got it installed in 20 minutes thank you so much! Thorough and easy to follow.

[@Alisa-dg6zy]

This video was so helpful. I received my ring door bell that I ordered on Prime day and believe or not I installed all by myself with the help this video! So thanks once again!

[@whiplash1973]

me too. Great job :)

[@SuperPuffyDuck]

I almost got the Ring with the battery instead of wired, but your video made it less scary to install wired ring doorbell. It was soooo easy to understand with your video, thank you so much!!! I get to save a few bucks now thanks to you!

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

I installed a Ring second-gen recently. If you can afford the extra cash it's a lot better since it offers battery backup and can work with your old hardwired chime.

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Did you get the Ring: amzn.to/3ruelWb or the Ring 3: amzn.to/3rzWn4C ? What's crazy is that it seems like many versions on the Ring Doorbell are currently on back order.

[@earthangel_911]

I was about to return mine and I stumbled across your video while looking for help. You are a lifesaver... Thank you!

[@StahlHammer01]

Any tips for doing two wired doorbell cams. I'd like to put one at the front and one at the side.

[@stevethornburg1506]

WOW! That was awesome. Congratulations on making a self-help video that was perfect. You explained everything in detail and slowly enough for everyone to understand. It took me longer to find the correct circuit breaker than to install the doorbell. Thanks so much for your help!

[@fatimahtorres8105]

I think your the only person that answered my question. No one else addressed if you have to cut power to the bell.

[@evelynoclaret4689]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@AK-pz7om]

Thanks so much, was feeling intimidated at the thought of messing with anything electrical but it all worked out. God bless!

[@Itkw_DebB]

Thanks so much for this. Almost returned it because I couldn't figure out how to get it installed lol

[@slippinslidewayz]

Thanks for this. I'm upgrading from two blink doorbells that keep failing. The customer support keeps telling me it's my issue and that I need an electrician but I'm not an idiot and the voltage is stable and within range. I hear Ring's support is amazing and they have human monitoring once I get the expanded system.

[@stevenrjdennis]

You might want to edit and remove your address from the video. Stay safe out there! Great content. Got me up and running quickly.

[@janetcerni]

Excellent! Clear and helpful directions. Watched the video twice and then tackled the project. Great step-by-step guidance made installation a breeze. THANK YOU!

[@paulrobilotti9294]

do you have to disable your door bell chime??? or can you leave it, will the door bell work with out the jumper installed

You are the best, I got tired trying to install this but your video made it so easy, thanks

[@allanr777]

Thank you for making the installation so understandable and simple. Much appreciated!

I'd like to know how you keep your existing chimes by using this doorbell ring button. I want my inside chimes to work. How do you do that?

[@zainm.cheema7359]

Great video; Just bought mine; I was wondering if there’s a way to use the existing doorbell chime that i already have with this model of ring. Has anyone been able to pull that off?

Duuuude, you're video is so much helpful than the one from Ring. Thank you so much for it!

What a great DIY video. The Author explains everything in simple layman terms. Thank you Sir for perfect instructions.

[@tasteandthecitywithnik1400]

Thanks so much for this amazing yet simple tutorial video! I was unable to determine which button on my breaker box was for my doorbell, so I just went to the next step as you suggested and added cable to my chime box, then removed my old doorbell outside at front door, connected wires and assembled the ring doorbell on!! I love it!! The camera is crystal clear on it too🤗

[@spacecoastz4026]

Find your transformer...whichever room/closet it is located in or near then that's probably the circuit. Turn off the breaker and see if the doorbell no longer works. If no longer works, then you have found the breaker.

[@Asiansxsymbol]

The power to the doorbell is only 10-15v, can it shock you? I'd imagine not very powerful as the household 110v.

[@edward_cee]

@@spacecoastz4026 I found the transformer in a closet. There are no breakers in the electrical panel that indicates which one is for the doorbell.

[@spacecoastz4026]

@@edward_cee Correct...because there isn't a dedicated circuit just for the doorbell. Rather the transformer will get power from the closest circuit...that is a room that is close to where the transformer is located.

[@edward_cee]

@@spacecoastz4026 , thank you for the reply. i decided not to turn off any breakers and connected the doorbell and jumper. it appears that i require the Ring Chime or the Ring Chime Pro because i lost the doorbell.

Thank you so much, I just installed a cheap Chinese knock off doorbell and there were no directions to disable the mechanical chime. It was making weird noises and you could feel the electricity running though it. Some spare wire and 5 mins later everything is working perfect. Note: To people who haven't bought a doorbell yet. I wish knew ahead of time that some of these doorbells do not work with your existing chime. The one in the video doesn't, if that sways you one way or the other. (Although with the ring doorbell you can you your Alexa devices as a digital door chime)

I want to get a Ring doorbell but I still want my existing Chime to work as well since we have a large home and I won't have to buy 2 or more ring chimes. Especially when the house is noisy ( My sons and I are musicians) or if I don't have my phone in the same room as I am in. We still need our old chime.

[@chris2214]

11:26 you mentioned it will disable traditional door chime. Whats the model that doesnt disable that?

[@darielabreu3987]

Can I put the jumper cable at the transformer? Previous owner removed the chime box. I know where it was at but I dont really care about have a chime, just want power at the door so I can install this.

[@Pianoplaya-cy9rx]

I want to get a ring doorbell but I still want to be able to use my existing Chime. We have a pretty good size house and sometimes it's noisy ( my boys and I are musicians) and I may not have my phone in the same room with me all the time. Our old chime is loud enough for us to hear , even in the basement but I may have to buy at least one digital box. My wife says,Do they have a flasher light out there as well that flashes when the doorbell rings, especially when we're jamming in the house?

Perfect video... I was confused as to the jumper till your great vid... thank you!

[@horrgakx]

Thanks for this - so as for every doorbell transformer fitted to front doors, would this work? You don't give any specs regarding voltages etc.

[@danielkohler3458]

Actually he said "I tested the voltage and had 12v which was more than the 10v required by the ring doorbell".

[@vankhanh1]

Great useful video. I wondering, we tried to set up and when we turned the power breaker back on the light around d thr button never came on. Our wires are thicker too, not as thin as yours. Any idea what it could be?

Ring makes it looks like this connects to existing doorbell chime but is this fedinitely not the case? Have one here ready to install but now not sure if I will

[@USArmy91222]

suppose i want to install this doorbell on the side of the house, not the front..do i still install the jumper cable the same way? front/trans? or suppose i want to install 2 of these doorbells, one for the front and one for the side, how would the jumper cable be installed then?

[@sonyakennedy7324]

Thanks for the video! Question, I have two doorbells, one back and one front (I don't know why)...so do you just install the second one, use one jumper? And can you connect external chime to both?

question, is it a "must" to do the "jump wire" to old chime if doesn't know wherever located?

[@mrmidnight32]

Idk I jumped and didn’t jump mine and my chimer doesn’t work at all anymore. I’m thinking you may need to buy one of those plug in ones from ring

[@caitlinrunzler4647]

If the Ring doorbell is hardwired as shown in this video, will it ring inside the house without purchasing and installing the "Chime"?

[@markny8467]

I'm about to buy this also so watching a few videos now. The power required seems to be AC, which means you can wire any way you like, the internals will correct it by rectifying it automatically if needed. So you are good to go.

It doesn't matter, but I always follow the AC outlet rule: the white (neutral) is usually on left and the red or black is on the right side. Usually.

What do you do with the jumper cable if you are connecting a front AND back door bell ring camera? Do you just use the other jumper cable on the rear terminal to trans and have both of them on the trans?
