How To Install Ring Doorbell Wired

Ring Video Doorbell Wired: amzn.to/31qLnvW
Favorite Smart Home Devices: www.amazon.com...
In this video we show you how to install the new Ring Video Doorbell Wired that was released in 2021. The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is different from other doorbells in the Ring line up in that it has most of the same features as the higher end Ring doorbells but comes in at a much lower cost.
The catch is that the Ring Video Doorbell Wired must be wired and that it also disables your existing doorbell chime when it's installed because it requires a jumper wire for installation. Even though the Ring Video Doorbell disables your existing chime, Ring has wireless doorbell chimes that work with the Ring Doorbell and can be connected through the app to work with your doorbell. The advantage of the wifi chimes is that you can place them anywhere you want throughout your home for installation and you can have multiple wifi Ring chimes connected to one Ring doorbell.
Another advantage of the New Ring Video Doorbell Wired is that it only requires 10V AC for operation so most existing doorbell transformers will work with the Ring Video doorbell wired.
To Install The Ring Video Doorbell Wired:
1. Turn off the power to the doorbell at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the existing doorbell chime cover.
3. Install the Ring Doorbell jumper wire in the existing doorbell chime.
4. Replace the doorbell chime cover.
5. Remove your existing Doorbell Button.
6. Wire the existing doorbell wires to the New Ring Video Doorbell.
7. Secure the New Ring Video Doorbell Wired with 2 screws.
8. Restore the power to the Ring Doorbell.
9. With the power restored to the doorbell it should light up.
10. Download the Ring App or login to the Ring app to begin the setup process on your phone. Follow the setup instructions and scan the code on the side of the Ring Video Doorbell Wired to connect it to your phone.
11. Follow the instructions in the app and complete the set up of your Ring Doorbell Wired.

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!

[@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.

[@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]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@earthangel_911]

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

[@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.

[@ytsux9259]

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.

[@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.

[@Codlegend4life00]

great vid man thx! however, don't forget to blur ur address since it was visible on the app when you were scanning the code.

[@rope103mc2]

[@Atomazersky]

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)

[@phoebebui2426]

So I can still use Alexa devices as my digital chime, right?

[@Atomazersky]

@@phoebebui2426 With the Ring you can

[@Pianoplaya-cy9rx]

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.

[@buz5678]

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".

[@SonicaLuda]

Can you skip the jumper wire at all? So that the you can hear your normal dorbell sound inside without purchusing the chime? Or is this step very important other than disabling your doorbell box?

[@SonicaLuda]

I still don't know the answer to this question but I have found a solution. If you have an Alexa, just link it to your Ring account. Alexa will let you know if there's motion or if there's someone at your door.

[@JdeDae]

No. The jumper sends current back to the transformer, otherwise the doorbell chime and the ring doorbell itself would be wired in series. Neither would work.

[@SonicaLuda]

@@JdeDae Thank you!

[@jpvintage]

So if one wanted to continue using their existing door chime, are there settings in the app to allow this?

[@ruerocc]

@@jpvintage I’m wondering the same thing??

[@caitlinrunzler4647]

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

[@kellylee5225]

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

If we don’t have doorbell wiring at the door, in that case can we install the bell without jumper? Is that secure ?

[@sergiomorales8274]

I really need to learn how to install this same doorbell without previous wiring available.

[@OneHourSmartHome]

I have a video that shows how to wire a doorbell that shows you where to start if you don’t have existing wiring kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHTQe4d4o5yZsM0 that should help you out! Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@lynaawood5930]

I assume it doesn’t matter-that it is only making a completed circuit, but want to still ask if it matters which wire is attached to each terminal. Thank you for your video!

[@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.

[@ytsux9259]

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.

The voltage is AC and it makes no difference which way round they go, it is only DC voltage that will have a negative and positive terminal . hope this helps

Great video though thank you!

[@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?
