How to run a doorbell camera wire (no existing wire, on siding)(Nest Hello, Arlo, Vivint, Ring)

Tool list below….
Want a doorbell camera but don’t have an existing wire? Don’t want to mess with batteries dying on you? Here is a simple way to run a wire so you can use your doorbell camera. Siding makes it super easy. If you notice there was an outlet on the outside of the home, I always like to plug them in on the inside so then it’s not exposed to the weather or having people unplug it. It also makes a clean professional look. Feel free to comment any questions, I’d love to help!

pretty simple stuff but finding a video that confirms what I thought is great. Wish there were more videos that showed installation with no existing wiring

[@dannydee9919]

I know what you mean. I'm on the west coast where houses made with siding are pretty much extinct and obsolete. My frustration is trying to fish the stupid piece of shit wire. I've been trying for 3 days and I'm irritated and frustrated beyond any word known to man kind . I'm getting to the point where I think I'm going crazy and the walls that I'm trying to navigate the wire through are laughing at me, well I'm starting to get to the point where I am going to pick up a sledge hammer and smash through the stucco to connect the ring doorbell to the transformer

I would have sealed the hole before snapping the siding back on but still a nice easy demonstration of how to get power for a doorbell.

Wow You just saved probably a few hundred to have an electrician hard wire for a doorbell for me for my doorbell camera. I even have an outdoor outlet near by. Sweet!

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Awesome! Glad this helped! Just make sure that the transformer you buy is weather rated or that your outlet outside is covered. Personally I would still drill and plug it inside. But as long as your outlet is covered from the exposed weather you should be fine. Also one thing to consider is if you do plug it in outside. Make sure the camera can see if anyone walks up to the outlet. That way if anyone try’s to unplug it you’ll have a recorded clip of them doing it! Thanks again for your comment and for watching!

Thank you for demonstrating the installation. Not sure if it is too late but can you please show us how it looked from inside? Just a picture and you can add that as part of the description too. Thank you for your time.

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Hi! Yes sorry I forgot to add that part! And I’m not sure how to add photos now that this has been posted. But basically if you leave a little wire out the corner of the whole on the inside and just let the transformer hang once you screw back in the outlet plate you can then plug it in with seeing very little wire on the inside of your home. Does that help?

[@hitnrun73075]

This is a great idea and I found a plug to do this, but 2 questions, shouldn't you put some kind of caulk to stop bugs and the very minor draft? Second what do you do on the inside what do you do on the inside with the wire, do you just wire it up and the put the faceplate on?

[@DanKing79]

This is so helpful! Really glad I found your video, I just bought the Unifi G4 door and realized that we had a contractor remove our doorbell and chime because it was originally stuck in the corner and no one ever used it. Plus, it was broken and just looked like trash. I was looking all over at how to install a new transformer and I came across this! One question, what size/length drill bit are you using there? I'm pretty sure I don't have anything that long (sadly, that's what she said) so I'll need to go out and get something

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Hahah! That’s the best comment I’ve had lol. I like to use 1/4 size drill bit and one that’s at least 12 inches long. I like the 1/4 in drill bit because it makes the hole big enough to easily get your wire through without making a big hole that you’ll have to silicone or clean up later. Hopefully that helps! Yeah it’s a lot more common than you think. A lot of people don’t thing about the doorbell wires while remodeling and or just don’t know what the chime box is so they just cut it and cover it. If your home has siding this is the best way to run a wire without exposing wire on the inside or outside of the home. And it’s honestly pretty simple. (Beats having to cut drywall and have to patch and paint if you ask me!) Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.

It’s more work up front to run a wire but in the long run it’s super nice cause then you don’t have to worry about batteries dying.

[@synthesizerisking2886]

Interesting, but I think my outlet is closer, how you drill through the installation and the wall out side, how did you seal hole from bugs always seeking a way indoors?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Yes I should have gone over that better. Once the wire is through. It’s good to use a silicone to help fill around the hole.

[@shalamigri]

NICE!

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

[@DireNeeds]

This is what I'm going to do👍. I'm looking at the transformer you have a link to. Does the wire from the transformer to the door bell have a hot and neutral or doesn't it matter?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Hi sorry for the late response! Most doorbells are AC power so it doesn’t matter. Just make sure you check the box. What model of doorbell cam are you wanting to do?

[@jamielangerock9672]

Will this transformer work for a Blink doorbell. Thank you for this video.

Hi! In the discretion. I just attached the transformers I recommend and yes they will work with Blink.

[@erickcatterton7719]

What should i ask for when getting the wireless transmitter ? Is there certain brand size ?

[@ameediking]

You snipped off the Transformer that supposed to plug into the wall, but where did you connect the two wires? Do you have to connect both of the wires to a hot part of the outlet or 1 to the hot and 1 to the cold parts of the outlet ?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Hi, yes I didn’t show that very well in this video. You just plug the transformer into the outlet. You don’t actually wire anything to the outlet. Doorbells are low voltage so that’s why you have to use the transformer. Does that answer your question?

[@Itsjcold0]

Will this work with the alto doorbell that has the chime piece in it

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Yes it should work with the arlo. Most doorbell cameras are 16-24 Volts. So it should work fine. Hopefully this helps!

[@mikes7164]

Thanks for the great tutorial. What size drill bit do you recommend ?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

I like 1/4 in and it’s 12 inches long I believe. I like 1/4 because it’s not to big so it’s easy to silicone the hole and it’s not to small so it’s easy to fish the wire through the wall. Make sure you buy one that’s long enough so you can go all the way through the wall. Hopefully this helps!

Is a window easier, since it does seem less than 10 feet, no drilling would be required, only a small exit hole in the screen corner, and window should close completely onto the wire and still lock? I will go check

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

I’ve done something similar once on a brick house where I went out the corner of the window. Brick can make it hard to run wires and make it look good at times. But if you have siding. It’s honestly pretty simple to pop it off and on. I like it cause it’s easy to hide the wire and make it look professional

@@tannerthetechnician5252 i have a window near the door, but 2 obstacles: window shutters and a deck not making it easy to pop the siding, will look at other wire running options.

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Oh yes that can make it tricky. Sometimes what I’ll do is just run it down on the outside tucked under the siding edge piece and then at the bottom drill straight through into the house right above the baseboard on the inside and then tack the wire along the top of the baseboard and then over to an outlet. You would see a little wire on the inside which might not be ideal but if you tack it right or get hide a wire casing it can look good. I dunno. Hard to tell without seeing it but hopefully this can help get you some ideas! Lol I’m curious how it goes!

[@MysticSkyFox]

But how do you hear it when the ring the doorbell?

Great question. It depends on the doorbell camera you get. A lot of them have the option to buy chime extenders that you can just plug in anywhere in the home. Like the Google doorbell camera can chime through the Google mini speakers.

Hi! Yes this will work great for your Google nest doorbell. For homes that don’t have existing wires and that have siding on the outside of your home this is a very simple and clean way to run your wire.

Question....can you just run wire off of the plug? Instead of having a bulky plug thats always plugged in?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Great question. So most household outlets put off 120v and most doorbell cameras require 16-20volts. So if you didn’t use the thing that plugs into the outlet it would fry your doorbell camera. The plug (transformer) that I show in the video brings the voltage down from 120 to 16 volts so that way it doesn’t fry the doorbell camera. Does that make sense? Hopefully that helps

Is there a link to what he bought to do this?

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Hi! Yes little new to the whole KZbin thing. I just attached the links in the description. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@TheGrkBoy]

Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzbin.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

[@TheReaL35]

So no pro here, but couldnt you have just wired a transformer into that exterior outlet and ran up to the ring?

[@katrinaforget8355]

Also not a pro, but do you think you could explain how to do this? Or link to a video that does? I’d rather hardwire to a transformer, than run a wire to an inside outlet. (Although I do appreciate that option!)

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Great question! Most transformers aren’t weather resistant and it also exposes the risk of someone unplugging it. I always try and plug them inside if possible even if it means a little extra work to pop it inside :)

[@mattbrunson8141]

Help! I ran the wire through the trim and up to the door bells location, but now everytime someone rings the door bell my wife runs out of the house and jumps into Ryan's car and they are out all night.

Would it like to see the rest of the installation until the ring is ser completely, too bad you just showed the wiring placement.

[@miamagana7835]

dude why didnt you use the existing out door plug thats like right there, right next to the door. YES, just a "few moments after" i thought about that, that it is exactly like putting a door knob backwards by having the lock on the exterior side of the house lol or like installing a door with the hinges on the outer side of the house lol. not safe at all cuz any one can come and pull the 3 hinges out and walk right in... ORRRR anyone can just come and that someone happens to be that 1 out of 10 awaken mind that knows such things like "common sense" and realize that the camera bell installer is a dum-dum ring bell installer for FKN-UP on security lol.. But, me as a magiver dude and understand electricity well enough, have an idea, well more of a question, "could the door bell be connected to the 1st closes outer receptacle by hard wiring it and pig tailing power to door bell? i dont see why not and also people wont have easy access to it, i mean how are they even going to know the ring bell power source is that plug if wires be hidden

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Lol loved your comment. Yes plug it inside, not only for security purposes but also to keep it safe from the rain/weather. It also makes it look more professional than having it plugged in outside where anyone can see it. Unfortunately you need to use the plug in transformer so then you get the right voltage. If you try and hardwire it directly in you’ll blow your doorbell.

[@perjian1697]

This looks like a very unsafe way to install as the wire is accessible from the outside of the house still. Meh.
