Found this text re + and - identification: “If you are connecting an Outdoor Siren, you must correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) sides. The negative cable can be identified by a ridge running the length of the cable.” Just fitted mine today and had same problem as you; would have been nice to find this earlier. 😁

Great find, thanks for sharing. I too wish I had known that before trying to install the siren.

Great video I had 3 ring sirens fail on my ring system they just stopped working so I put back the old alarm box and powered my old system back up the ring system is great in theory but when something goes wrong with it just gets a little annoying ,plus the tower system is great idea and safer than a ladder when on your own

Can this alarm workout the d batteries,just using a ring battery and a hard wire supply.

Great video Have you used a transformer or plugin? Thanks

[@ianburgess525]

Thanks for the comment! I used the plugin power adaptor for the siren. I included a link to the adaptor in the video description.

Should you use rechargeable batteries?

[@ianburgess525]

The manual recommends against using rechargeable D batteries. However you do have the option of using a rechargeable Ring quick release battery instead of or alongside the wired connection.

I used the wire connected to my old alarm box and connected the power supply to the other end in a cupboard where my old alarm panel was.

[@leomcgrane93]

Hey mate. I’m wondering how you did this? My house is new and it’s wired for an alarm. The cables are on the front of the house for the siren, which an alarm company would just wire into. Can i use these wires to hardwire into a ring siren? Or do I still need the external plug adapter? Cheers!

[@lordtobe2774]

@@leomcgrane93 you just need the power adapter for ring siren....just wire into your existing siren wire.. so wire external siren box using external end....then wherever the internal end is wire that to power supply adapter and plug in....

[@Sean-oi7io]

How long is the power cable that comes with it?

[@ianburgess525]

The cable on the power supply is 6m (just under 20ft).

[@wizkid01]

If you hardwire it do you remove the batteries?

[@ianburgess525]

No, you can leave the batteries in. They then act as a backup in case mains power is lost.

where can we buy this ring outdoor siren?

[@ianburgess525]

I got mine from Amazon (UK link here -> amzn.eu/d/bapDrFB), but you can also get it directly from Ring (en-uk.ring.com/products/alarm-security-outdoor-siren).
