Күн бұрынHow To Install A Ring Video Doorbell 2nd Generation 2020 - Hardwire Installation Of 1080p Door Bell
The Ring Video Doorbell can add security and protection to your home at a very reasonable cost. In this video, I will show you how to replace your standard doorbell with this 2nd Generation 2020 Version of the Ring Video Doorbell. If you don't already have a doorbell, you can add a Ring Doorbell very easily. This device can be powered by either its built-in rechargeable battery or by connecting it to existing doorbell wiring. The installation process was very straightforward, and the included instructions and the Ring app will guide you through the process. All the tools you need are included in the box, and you may not even need a power tool unless you're mounting the doorbell onto a brick or concrete wall. I just used the small tools that came in the box and the job was quick and easy to complete. The best part is, that after having the Ring Video Doorbell for a while now, I am very pleased with how it works and what it can do. It was a great purchase that I'd definitely make again.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzfaq.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.

You mentioned at the 2:17 mark about turning off the power which the instructions say to do. However, yesterday while installing one for first time for a friend who wasn’t able to do it, I realized another possibly easier solution to the power issue: I first simply disconnected the wire to the doorbell on the chime itself, thus insuring an fully open connection at the doorbell. Trying to find the right breaker in his house would have been a challenge! And possibly knocked out other items/lights they/I needed. So then just reconnected bell line on chime as final item. Worked out fine! But took me 3+ hours because I didn’t have a couple of tools that would have made it easier. And it was on quite old concrete block wall with his drill that wasn’t the best, even using supplied bit. I had to knock out a little tiny trench/groove for the wire so that we could move the switch up about an inch and a half to the correct 48 inches and run the wire behind the plate to the center opening of the plate.

That sounds like a great solution, and just what the situation called for! And seems like something always refuses to make the job as easy as we think it should be, but the results are what counts. Thanks for the comment!

@@HowSkills I am certainly no electrician, so there may have been a defect in my thinking, but if there’s no connection from the doorbell wire to the chime, I don’t really see how you could end up with a short when connecting the ring module. His transformer was mounted on the ceiling of a small bedroom closet with a light also in the closet so that’s why I decided to try to find a alternate solution.

Thanks for the video, was thinking about doing one to include the hook-up of the battery backup and to show others why is doesn't matter which wire goes on the terminals. It's because the doorbell power supply in most homes are AC volts, not DC. AC volts does not require polarity plus or minus like on standard batteries. So, if you're going to run a new power supply to any new or added device, that it specifically requires AC power supplies.

They don"t have a true power supply to them. only one side of the 12 - 24 volts. Did you have to modify the wiring at your old chime? Thanks

You could defnitely buy one for the back door too, but you might also look into one of their other products, which is a video security camera. You could put one of those by your back door and it will record when any movement and alerts you when there is activity. These can also allow you to communicate with anyone who comes near it, and they work with the Ring app and other Ring products.

On this model, once you initially charge the battery up all the way before installation, a wired installation of it will constantly trickle charge the built-in battery and should keep it charged. If it ever failed to keep the charge, you would have to remove the unit from the wall to charge it up again. Some Ring doorbells have removable batteries, but this model doesn’t.

@HowSkills 2 жыл бұрын
That bracket on the back of the doorbell can be a little stubborn to get off. Starting at the bottom edge of the doorbell, take a thin-bladed knife or flat head screwdriver, insert it between the bracket and the back, and gently pry the bracket off. It’s hinged at the top of the doorbell, so if you can get it separated a little at the bottom, that should allow you to pull it off.

@HowSkills Жыл бұрын
Normally, once a Ring Doorbell is hardwired, the internal battery should stay charged. One thing I have learned though, is that you need to make sure that the internal battery is fully charged before installing the doorbell and connecting it to the existing wiring. Once it's fully charged, the internal battery is kept charged by a built-in trickle charger. But if the battery wasn't fully charged to start with, it can be more easily drained. You also might have a transformer that doesn't have sufficient power to keep the battery charged. The transformer needs to have an output of 8-24V AC.

I can't find info on weither I need the resistor or not. In the box it says I need it but the paper that came with the resistor said not to use it with an existing chime. My transformer is 16v 10va
@HowSkills 2 жыл бұрын
The resistor isn’t needed if you have an existing chime. It’s only needed if you don’t already have a chime connected to existing doorbell wiring, as the chime is what’s providing the resistance in the circuit with the transformer. If you had no chime and no pre-existing doorbell wiring, and wanted to hardwire the Ring Doorbell directly to a transformer so you could take advantage of it being trickle-charged, then you would need the resistor.

The battery pack is built into the unit, so if for some reason it loses its charge, then you have to completely remove the entire unit and disconnect the wires in the rear of it. The battery should be completely charged before installing the doorbell, and should stay charged, as the unit trickle charges it as needed. But, I have heard of some of these batteries losing their charge for some reason, and the only way to fully recharge them is to remove the unit entirely from where it's mounted.

Probably showing that status because the battery wasn’t fully charged before installation. When it’s hardwired, the battery is constantly trickle-charged to keep it at full capacity so it probably expects it to start out that way. The battery serves as a backup power source in case of an electrical outage.

is there any work required on the old mechanical house chime (ding ding)?
@HowSkills 2 жыл бұрын
There wasn’t any work required with mine, but that can depend on the doorbell. Most should work. You do need to make sure in the app that you’ve selected “Mechanical” under “Doorbell Chime Type”, or that you’ve selected “Automatic Chime Detection”, if that’s the option you see.

Do you have to keep the included battery in the unit. Some devises require the battery installed even when its plugged in to an A/C charger.
@HowSkills 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you keep the battery in the doorbell all the time unless you’re charging it. If your doorbell is hardwired, you should never need to remove it. It receives a constant trickle charge when it’s hardwired.

@@HowSkills cool man I was looking for this answer since I fitted one a few months back just the same as yourself but only on a 8 volt 50hz ac supply and chime but wasn’t sure whether the “trickle charge” they describe is enough to permanently keep the doorbell battery full and powered, thus never needing recharged manually. It’s been running now for quite a while so hopefully you’re right and it is a fit and forget job to wire these things. Lots of customers want them these days.

The VA will be pretty high though, plenty amps to run a device like that but just wasn’t sure exactly how the doorbell itself handles being wired. It seemed to be only using the AC as an output to the chime and not drawing any current I could measure with my meter. So hopefully it just does so when that battery needs it and has some power control circuitry inside

I bought the same one but my question is even if I connect to the wire to the old door bell do I still have to keep charging the battery for the camera to work ?
@HowSkills 11 ай бұрын
If your doorbell is going to be hardwired into your existing wiring then you need won’t have to keep charging the battery. It’s important to fully charge the battery before installing the doorbell, and then it will be continuously trickle-charged and should keep it’s charge.

These doorbells (ring) require AC voltage ⚡ not DC..so if there is no existing doorbell you need a stepdown transformer aprox..10:1 ..and a load resistor with some models

steve wiser they a 4 AAAAA battery for ring 1, ring 2, ring 3 and for ring pro they need 120 V or use a transformer 12.v including a resistor to assist load. Better buy a new system with zero monthly 🤣😂

Now that you have had it a few months, do you receive notice of the battery being low, even though you have it wired directly? I do and have to take it off to recharge it.
@HowSkills 3 жыл бұрын
I haven't experienced that problem so far. Do you think your current system might not be supplying enough power to the doorbell?
@teaglet 3 жыл бұрын
I recharged the door bell to 100% reattached, everything ok, maybe that’s what we have to do. I don’t know if the cam sends anything wired to the chime, chime voltage was at 11%.
@michaelboggus9993 2 жыл бұрын
If the voltage going through your wires is less than 8 volts then they will not supply on enough power to keep it charged. If this is true you will have to change the Transformer to your doorbell to one that supplies at least 12 volts. My doorbell wires were only supplying about 2.7 V

What AC voltage do you have on the back of the unit on the wires need to be 8 to 24v AC is it an old Mechanical chime unit you are powering it off

My transformer is a max of 8v 1amp. I will change it but which output? I can get 16v at 1amp or dose it have to be 2amp cos I can't find 2amp
@HowSkills 2 жыл бұрын
The 16V at 1 amp will probably work, but check its VA rating. This doorbell can work with 8-24V transformers but needs a VA rating somewhere between 20-40VA.

Hello, my friend, I live in Brazil. Here in Brazil, all bells are 127v or 220v. To run the doorbell with the Ring vídeo Doorbell, should I acquire one with a voltage between 8 and 24v?
@HowSkills 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that is the required voltage range for them to work, so it would be necessary to get a doorbell with a power supply that puts out between 8-24V.
