I put the jumper cable onto my existing chime but it makes a buzzing sound when switched back on. I've had to then remove it but I have been told that will eventually mess up my Ring doorbell. Any solutions?
Hi Erin, thank you so much for this video. Even though I have a plug in adaptor and not a hard wired doorbell, this was still very helpful. I thought that I had to take the actual back of the ring doorbell off, I had been struggling for months, now I know I don't need to do that, lol. So my doorbell has been sitting in the box for months for nothing, oh well. I'm in the UK, and the instructions are not very clear, and it shows removing the back. Ring need to update this. Thank you again❤❤
No and no…… no existing doorbell, and my hangup is those tiny holes and tiny screws (the 2 tiny holes on the wired doorbell and the tiny holes on the only corner mount made for the ring wired ). Are the tiny holes at the top and bottom of the ring only for screws to attach the doorbell to the mount because the tiny provided screws will barely enter the mount. and the screws point towards the other screws going through the corner wired mount. I am also installing on that soft DutchLap siding. My main issue is the tiny holes and tiny screws
Do you have this same version? Sounds like they want you to but their plug-in chime. I just ordered this version and can't wait to see if it can ring my existing chime.
Hi I installed the wired ring doorbell, so its working fine with phone. But existing chime is not ringing when some one ring the bell. I tried connecting and disconnecting but either way its not working. Can you help me with this ? How to make my existing chime to ring with this doorbell. Its working fine with previous regular door bell
Hi Erin, Thanks for the video. One question.. What's the purpose of the jumper wire making the old doorbell not work? Can't the Ring work on both? (Phone and the wall) I'm looking at this for my mom who's 84 and I'd like the old doorbell to work as well as the new Ring that apparently rings through the App?
You could get the Ring Chime for her so there is also an audible tone. I havent' tried wiring it to see if pushing the Ring bell would make the old chime ring or if it's just not compatible...
@@ErinLawrenceTV Good thing Steve asked this question. The video made it seem that the Ring doorbell would make the old doorbell chime work. So, we have to buy a "ring chime" to make the new ring doorbell audible when pushed.
I had the old Ring video doorbell and got this model and installed it in my home for the motion detection features. It will not work with your existing in home mechanical chime. Spoke to Customer Service and they confirmed the same. That's a huge bummer. Not sure why they can't just make it work, seeing how their older versions support existing mechanical chimes
I purchased the Ring wired product. The Ring does not cover the whole left from my old doorbell plate. Does Ring sell a plate that will screw into my electrical box and then have a place to screw in the Ring? Thanks.
suppose i want to install this doorbell on the side of my house, not the front..how would the jumper cable be wired in that case? front/trans or rear/trans? also, suppose i want to install 2 of these doorbells, one in the front and one on the side..how would the jumper cable be wired in that case?
Fantastic video. I have a motion sensor light and want to replace that wired connect with the Ring Doorbell. What do I need to do? Please help me understand. Thanks.
So we have wires outside for the doorbell i assume they are disconnected from the electricity at the moment as i have connected my doorbell and its not working. How would I switch the power on for the doorbell? I am not going to use the old Chime I am going to use the one that came with the doorbell.
I have two chime boxes. One upstairs and one down stairs. Do I need two put jumper wires on both? I put one on the down stairs chime box and this evening the upstairs box got hot and burned out.
I don't want to be carying my phone in the house to hear the door bell, or buy the Ring remote chime, if I don't use the jumper will my chime still work with the ring ??
why does the Ring website say this? Video Doorbell Wired does not sound your existing doorbell chime. To hear audio alerts in your home, pair with a Ring Chime, compatible Alexa device, or select the Video Doorbell Wired + Chime bundle. I'm trying to understand if my old doorbell chime will work or not. Do I have to buy the Ring Chime to make this work?
I bought a ring door bell 3 with battery model from USA and using it in UK. Battery is not charging and i have to manually charge it every time its charging is completed. Where as my neighbours are using the one they bought in UK and they never have to charge manually. Any idea how to fix this?
Hi Erin, I have a 30 years old doorbell and I’m trying to install small packed Ring wired doorbell. I can’t figure out my “Front” and “Trans” points. I see three points on my chime, “1”, “2”, “T”.Please help me find which two of those will be connected with jumper cable. Thank you
Hi Madison. If you were in an apartment you would want a battery powered version. I thought I mentioned it in this video, but you need existing doorbell wiring for this version to function.
Which screwdriver are you using? I’m very frustrated, I’ve tried 10 times to unscrew one of the screws on the back of the ring doorbell and it won’t unscrew
Always a good thing to keep an eye out for, but at my house at least, the trim was thick enough, and the doorbell tall enough that I don’t think it would bump into them.
I can’t find anywhere saying this disables the original chime by using the jumper wire for constant power to the Ring. That’s what it does. I still want my original chime. Now I’d have to buy a Ring chime as well.
Remove the jumper wire. That’s what disconnects your original chime by “jumping over” your original bell’s transformer.... They want you to buy *their* chime, but no need. It will power the original as long as the old bell’s transformer is still operational. If your old bell stopped working, it’s likely not the buttons but the transformer. Look up “install wired doorbell” and find dude showing the full wired setup for original bells. He has three parts in his cover pic here on UA-cam. HTH.
@@quietmadness1768 Good to know this can still ring my existing chime (hopefully) Seems no one can answer this question. I don't want to use their chime box, since my existing works fine. I don't even think Ring tech support knows the answer, lol
I have watched many videos about the ring wired doorbell. Everyone shows how to connect the device but then you go to the smartphone you think everyone knows how to do the rest. Still looking. No help here.
I have the same question than some one below, I would like to keep the old shime because it sound like the Big Ben. Do I have to disable it? Thank you in advance for your help.
With Ring’s Chime audible speaker, you can use the big Ben sound or choose from any one of a number of different sounds including Holiday sounds. Find out how to do it by watching my video here on the channel. 😃😃
What happens for 2 door bell houses , front and basement bell connected to same chime. If I put the ring door bell wired on front door will it stop the chime on basement bell
@@ErinLawrenceTV Finally found the answer. Short answer multiple video doorbells can be independently connected to old chime to power and also support the ringing of the chime depending on the video doorbell. I had to get a wired doorbell to figure this out. It depends on how many doorbells your chime supports. Mine was manual chime and it came 2 independent circuit. One said front and other said rear. I have the front connected to a ring video doorbell 2 which can trickle charge hardwired and also rings the chime from my old bell. For the rear I installed the wired as it is cheaper and does not have hassle of battery charging. I bypassed the chime for rear doorbell and my front chime was unaffected.
I don’t think you have to do anything with the old chime cause you could just get a ring chime for 30 bucks and it’s give your doorbell a better connection to the wifi and I works like a chime
If I wanted to install two ring wired (front and back) can I attach another jumper to the chime and just make sure it’s bridged between trans and back?
Most homes in the UK don't have prewired doorbells,you can buy a ring plug in transformer which will power it! Another great review Erin!😉
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video Erin! Well put together and easy to understand. Especially like the video of the jumper wire *at the chime*.
Excellent explanation. Clear, concise, and detailed.
Glad it was helpful!
i paid £35 for mine at Argos it works perfectly i love the wide angle lens which cover the whole front of the house
That's great!
Bro can you tell me what thing comes with door bell be cuz I bought from b&q with small box only with one wire and two screws
What happens if you DONT use the jumper? Can someone please answer this?
The jumper helps bypass your home chime , so it wouldn’t ring inside your home. Unless you buy the ring chime.
I put the jumper cable onto my existing chime but it makes a buzzing sound when switched back on. I've had to then remove it but I have been told that will eventually mess up my Ring doorbell. Any solutions?
Yeah I don't know what they are doing telling people to use the jumper all it does is complete the circuit causing the bell to want to ring.
Excellent Video! Straight to the point. Thank you!🙂
Thank YOU!

Great video Erin. My doorbell wasn't marked so a lot of switching on & off before I found the breaker
Oh, I bet!

Why do you place the jumper cable to transformer terminals? I did not do this and the Ring Bell still works with my transformer...
Do you have this same version? Sounds like they want you to but their plug-in chime. I just ordered this version and can't wait to see if it can ring my existing chime.

I have a working wired doorbell want to replace it with a camera door bell will give this a go

The wiring for a doorbell and lighting is different. You'd need to consult an electrician.
i thought i was gonna way harder thank you so much
My pleasure!

How would I switch the power on for the doorbell? I am not going to use the old Chime I am going to use the one that came with the doorbell.
Correct me if i am wrong but Did/Do you work for Amazon?
Best video doorbell on the market
Glad you think so!

I have a question about the ring bell u need 2 black and white wire for connecting?
My doorbells only have two wires... what have you got?
Do u have to connect this to a door bell or will it work with just the phone?
I love ring wired doorbell
So this can only be installed on the door? I was hoping to use in my bedroom
Thanks. super clear and to the point. excellent work
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
Are old door bell is gone so I just wired the blue N red together that use to go to the door bell an it started working...
Is it safe to install the jumper cable when the power is still on?
I’ll let an electrician answer this question… But I don’t think it’s recommended.
Thanks Erin. 👍🏻
You are so welcome Ron!
i don’t have old chime. and does this work in every country or do we need converter?
Hi Erin, I have a 30 years old doorbell and I’m trying to install small packed Ring wired doorbell. I can’t figure out my “Front” and “Trans” points. I see three points on my chime, “1”, “2”, “T”.Please help me find which two of those will be connected with jumper cable. Thank you
One will say rear or “R” that’s for the back push button
Will this work if I don’t have an existing doorbell? Like apartments for an example
Hi Madison. If you were in an apartment you would want a battery powered version. I thought I mentioned it in this video, but you need existing doorbell wiring for this version to function.
Hi
I only get a notification on my android cellphone that says someone is at the front door but how do I get a sound notification?
Just what I was looking for thank you 👍
Which screwdriver are you using? I’m very frustrated, I’ve tried 10 times to unscrew one of the screws on the back of the ring doorbell and it won’t unscrew
If the existing wires is on the rear, you need to put the jumper cable on the rear.
Don’t use the old chime use the ring chime it’s better it a chime and a wifi extender for your door bell and it’s sold for 30 bucks on Amazon
I’m not sure what I did wrong but my chime isn’t working
Are there any systems like ring that do not require a internet connection? U a great instructor.!!
Should I be worried when drilling for the wall anchors about possibly hitting wires?
Always a good thing to keep an eye out for, but at my house at least, the trim was thick enough, and the doorbell tall enough that I don’t think it would bump into them.
This is a very informative video thank you 🙏
Thank YOU!
i did the same exact steps but my chime still doesn’t work only thing i didn’t do which is disconnect the power help plz
How do you connect it to mobile phone hotspot when you don’t have wifi?
Thank you E-ring
Any time!
I can’t find anywhere saying this disables the original chime by using the jumper wire for constant power to the Ring. That’s what it does. I still want my original chime. Now I’d have to buy a Ring chime as well.
The ring doorbell also rings to your phone and echo devices if you have them throughout the home.
I connected front and trans with the jumper provided,still no sound. What could I be doing wrong ?
Remove the jumper wire. That’s what disconnects your original chime by “jumping over” your original bell’s transformer.... They want you to buy *their* chime, but no need.

Great video and info 👍
Well explained it... I'm just a handyman
Easy to install, thank you for the video
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
@@ErinLawrenceTV so it's Similar as in install garage door opener control panel...👍👍
Good tutorial and thank you. Please avoid switch videos from your face and the actual setup to back and forth. It’s annoying.
I have watched many videos about the ring wired doorbell. Everyone shows how to connect the device but then you go to the smartphone you think everyone knows how to do the rest. Still looking. No help here.
What if I have 4 wires on my doorbell instead of just the two needed for the ring?

That looked very easy but what if you have 3 wires like I have ?
Oh boy. I think that’s a question for an electrician… Not this tech blogger. 😉😄
Don't forget to secure the faceplate. one screw bottom right.
Yes!
Ordered one but didnt realize I needed to have an existing doorbell anything i can do??
Return and reorder the battery version?
What happens for 2 door bell houses , front and basement bell connected to same chime. If I put the ring door bell wired on front door will it stop the chime on basement bell
Hmmmm. good question and I'm not sure. I think it would stop the other one......
@@ErinLawrenceTV Finally found the answer.

Can you install these in apartments if they don’t have a doorbell ring
The battery ones you can, but not this particular wired version.
Are you interested in learning the accessories installation tutorial for the doorbell?

What to do if you don’t have a regular doorbell
You can install through wireless.
There is a battery powered version
Sec generation ring video doorbell
You didn't turn off your breaker lol
looked through the comments to find this.
She mentioned this two or three times actually.
I saw it to
I don’t think you have to do anything with the old chime cause you could just get a ring chime for 30 bucks and it’s give your doorbell a better connection to the wifi and I works like a chime
4:02 you appear to be installing this doorbell with the power connected. Don't do that.
If I wanted to install two ring wired (front and back) can I attach another jumper to the chime and just make sure it’s bridged between trans and back?
same question i have
Nop just buy a ring chime and it might work for both its just 30 busks on Amazon
Q: If I apply 12 volts DC direct will this unit work?
It says 10-24v on the box so I’m guessing so
what if you don’t have a doorbell
if you put a jumper between the trans and front, this door chime will never ring, Dahhhhhh
It's tempting to use their plugin chime, but why not just use your existing one?
