This is my second video on my series of videos about the new video doorbell with 2-way communications. I walk through the stets to install the power kit on my existing doorbell. Then I show how to perform the physical install of the device on natural stone masonry. Using the included drill bit, I make holes in the grout but quickly realize that the included screws are too short. I use my own 1.5-inch screws to attach two 20-degree wedges to the wall. The doorbell then attaches to the brackets. I’m looking forward to installing the app and setting up the motion detection in a future video.
Thank you for such a great video. You solved my dilemma of how to angle the camera to capture the front of my porch. The anglers fixes my dilemma. Thank you!
This is a great video and thanks for not making us watch every screw turn like many videos. Video done excellently and leaves me confident to install it.
Thanks for posting this video
Great basic step by step guide. I agree, thanks for speeding up over the mundane parts. I know if a video is longer than 10 minutes it's full of needless chatter so I pass on them. . Thanks for posting.
What happens if I have 4 cables red yellow green and black color, Wich ones I have to connect togheter? Thanks
Any recommendations on the RSSI -63 Notification? I am usih 5ghtz Wifi and my devices are achieving 165Mbps. But yet audio quality is delayed, and bad at times. I dont believe the wifi booster is the solution?
Cheers really useful
I have power to my doorbell button outside. I currently use my alarm panel as the door chime. I'm looking keep my alarm setup but switch my doorbell camera to Ring. Would I just use the Ring Wifi extender with chime so I have a chime inside?
The Ring Elite is POE. I don't think there is any actual advantage otherwise. It would be best for those who have poor wifi coverage but it also is recessed mount only so that would be another issue you'd have with the rock wall.
I wanted to replace my ring doorbell v2. I tried the doorbell 3 plus but didn't like the fact that I have to hardwired and use the battery at the same time jus this the 3 secs preroll. So I decided to get this certified doorbell pro. Since I done the install of a few ring doorbells I tjoght this be fast. I'm handy with wires as I did replaced my old transformer with the 16v one as recommended. That was tricky but not too bad. I added the power kit to my mechanical chime, went through the install step and somehow the blue lights keeps blinking. OK. Called ring support and was told the pro actually have an internal capacitor (battery) that needed a few hours to charge up. OK. after a few hours the spinning white light i needed finally came on, great. Excited. Start the install and it stuck at the join ring network. Somehow that never came on. Call support again. The new guy was saying not enough power. I told him I got the new transformer installed already. He said , skip my old chime and installed the chime wire directly to the power kit. See pictures. I did that. we waited. And install again. Did not work on my phone app. He said try to do on another device like iPad. I did that. Same issue. He told me nothing he can do now. He will put in level 3 support and have them call me back. 4 hours later, no one call. So I decided to Uninstaller the pro and put back my trusty old Ring doorbell v2. Ready to return this garbage. Maybe when pro v2 comes out, I'll try it again.
Amazing instructions, my cat was able to install it!
What if I dont have an existing doorbell box inside the house only the wires coming out of the wall?
I am having trouble with my existing doorbell not working. Ring says that my vintage NuTone chime is not compatible? But why? It is putting out 16 volts.
Quick question - Is it a must to hook the bypass power kit if you buy doorbell pro along with wireless chime/chime pro? What if I want to hear the doorbell only on the wireless chime/chime pro but not the existing mechanical doorbell? Can I just use the doorbell pro and the wireless chime/pro to communicate which means I am NOT hooking the bypass kit to the existing mechanical doorbell.
Thanks bud
Will all existing doorbells require the pro power kit? My house was built in 2012, so I'm hoping it has the required power. Thanks.
One problem.....in the UK virtually no one has a live doorbell.....I had a battery powered Ring doorbell but got fed up of having to charge it every month or two. I’ll look into getting a mains transformer plug.
Hello in your video you used the angle brackets on the left side of your door. Looks like I will need to use angle brackets but my doorbell is on the right side. Can I still use these same angle brackets that you have linked?
Thank you for the video.I had a similar need for the angle. So your video was very helpful to buy the angle mount and then install them.
4 wires, it’s a piece of cake. It took me 20-30 minutes.
