RING VIDEO DOORBELL PRO 2 UNBOXING, INSTALL, & REVIEW | How To Install the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2

[@meugenecurney1020]

Ha! Home built in 1996 (doorbell electrical included w/ front of home room) but you saved me a ton of $$ by "step by step"... Not sure about the power supply as door bell was old but giving it a try. Thanks. Easy instructions, installing and easy info on what to expect though. Truly appreciate your assistance.

[@seaninge7056]

"We will continue to contact about your extended warranty." That was quite funny. Informative video. Thank you.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

They will find you! haha Glad you liked it. Thank you for the feedback!

[@davidpayton8336]

Actually I've found those extended warranties worth it for my 1958 Edsel. :-)

[@raspirllc4083]

Thanks this was the best introduction.....took exactly the same steps. THREW out those lame screws way too small. Drilleed a larger diameter #8 thru those slots in the plastic. It took LONGER to connect to my home network.....they had to REMOTELY reset the RING DOORBELL PRO 2.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@MarkWilliams-ix1qf]

I just upgraded from a Ring Pro to Ring Pro2. I like the video and especially the audio much better. It's not cheap, but I'm happy. One thing you must do when you do this upgrade is to uninstall the older unit from the Ring App. If you don't the software gets lost and hangs. The other thing is to change the power block that goes in your chime. At first I did not bother and my chime rang too long. So I did what the manual said and changed it to the "V3" version. Otherwise everything is the same. Except that for me the video and audio is much better. I hate the audio on the Pro. The video was fuzzy too. They really improved both audio and video. I recently had a burglary and my Ring Pro dropped off WIFI and did not detect the burglar. Maybe these only last two years, so I figured rather than chase the problem on an old unit with flakiness just get a new and hopefully more reliable unit. We'll see.

Dude. Those extra parts about the warranty and the dancing were hilarious. I just might have to start looking into this more deeply but my main problem will be getting the low voltage AC run to the doors. I currently don’t have a doorbell hook up where i need it. Great video and especially great sense of humor!

[@fergusrb]

My question is the wedge mounting bracket's high side facing the door or way from it? My doorbell button is on the side of the wall right angles to the door. do you mount the bracken so the camera points at the door or away from it? If I am not mistaken your door bell button was on a side wall to your door. I liked the video coverage that you showed. Now to fined the door chime as I have only been in this house a year. Thanks for your help.

[@wulicny]

@@HowToHomeDIY , the only deviation from your how-to was that I didn't connect to the transformer in the chime house at all. I just connected the wires together from the Pro Pack 3 to the wires from the doorbell. When I connected all to the transformer, I got an awful vibration.

Yes if your current chime is not working then you would need one of the adapters or you can also use an echo dot as the door chime if you have one.

The power pack is what was installed in the chime. It just makes sure that the doorbell is always getting proper power to it.

I have a chime from my existing doorbell and I also purchased a chime from ring. Do I still need the chime from ring or do I return it?

If you already have a chime like you saw in my video, then you would not need the additional chime from Ring. Also if you have any echo dots, they can also serve as alerts that someone is at the door.

[@SweetCreole1]

I'm sure someone has already asked this question... too lazy to read all comments. Will my existing chime work with the Ring Pro 2 doorbell? I love the sound of my current chime and want to keep it... Great Video...

[@kr6277]

Recently installed the Ring video doorbell pro 2. We love it, but having issues with the transformer voltage reading in the Device Heath tab on the app. The pro 2 needs 16-24 volts and according to the Ring app, the voltage is around 16 which is good, but at times it drops to 15 volts and then I get a "poor" reading in the Device Health tab. Ring told me I probably needed a new transformer, however none of us can find it. My question is, if the voltage drops to 15 only periodically, it that ok? If not, sounds like I'll need a totally different doorbell since we cannot locate the transformer. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!

[@chikaguiy3541]

What happens when your indoor chime stop working after the ring installation¿

[@donfish9216]

do you need a new transformer with this unit (higher power ?)

[@eualiolozano6630]

How much it costs the pro__2?

[@hanko2000]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! I'm putting the Pro 2 on the front and back doors. Are there any issues with having two power packs attached to the transfomer?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

That is a great question. I don't believe that a second one would be needed though but I do not know that for sure.

[@cryptoemperor3399]

I hooked up two to one transformer. You need to order a beefier transformer I ordered a 24VAC 60VA one from amazon and it works perfectly. Using a standard transformer one camera will lose power all the time and cause issues.

[@Reddylion]

nice

[@davidpayton8336]

So from what I'm seeing is that the Ring Pro 2 does not have a battery that requires the door bell to be frequently disassembled to charge the battery then to reassemble it?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Correct, this is hardwired to the doorbell power wires.

[@davidpayton8336]

@@HowToHomeDIY Thanks so much Adam. :-)

[@michaeltang6466]

I installed and the ring stay hot. Not warm. Is it safe?

[@dwayneable6229]

It would have been nice to see what the zoom feature is like as far as picture quality. How detail would face recognition be in zoom and pause mode in the day and night.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

There is no actual zoom on it. It is like other cameras where basically your phone or tablet is zooming in on the picture. Still looks quite clear but not true focusing.

[@lukki7ster]

Definitely subbing. That was an easy enough installation. I feel confident to do this on my own. Is this useful without a subscription to any plans?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Glad to have you aboard! It really was a fairly easy install. So without the subscription you would be able to access the camera and watch it live at any time, you can get the motion notifications and then watch what caused it live, and you can also communicate with anyone at the door. Without it though, the biggest loss would be that you would have no recorded video to be able to look at past events. With one device I believe it is $3 a month and for multiple devices I believe it is $10 per month. I hope this was helpful!

[@lukki7ster]

@@HowToHomeDIY Thanks so much!

[@the7thknifecollector497]

So do you still have to charge the dorbell

[@HowToHomeDIY]

It is hard wired so it does not need charged.

[@proreviewer6064]

Is the pro power kit needed for Uk installation?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

It is my understanding according to ring that yes it is in many instances. But they also have cable made to bypass it depending on the current configuration. I know for instance on the first pro model that this was the case and there would be no reason for that to have changed as the power pack is different but also has much of the same function. I hope this helps!

[@MikeMaldonado]

Can you please tell me what the devise was inside your home that you placed inside the door bell?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Absolutely! I believe you are referring to the pro power kit. It goes in the doorbell chime and helps to ensure that the doorbell itself is always getting the right power it needs in order to operate correctly. I hope this answered your question.

[@1Brianjohnson.]

Is that included or sold separately ?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Included.

does it record 24/7 like the nest

[@HowToHomeDIY]

No, it does not record unless there is motion. It does however take snapshots all throughout the day, which is pretty cool.
