- How 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.

This was the best instructional video out of all the ones, many, I've seen: clear, simple, concise. No filler bs. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the comment and for taking the time to watch the video. I really appreciate it!
second
I installed this a couple of days ago before my vacation and I can’t stop receiving neighborhood videos. Awesome
Kinda fun to see what’s going on back home sometimes!
Thank you for making the video simple and short, unlike those who spend 20 minutes doing the same thing.
Glad it helped, and thank you for watching!
Thank you for your video. This is by far the best one we have found.
Glad it was helpful!
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_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.
Letssss goooo with the DIY. He did not waste time. He got straight to it. I love it!
I figure that’s what people came for and not to see my face!
Excellent video. I have zero experience doing installs and you walked me through this perfectly. Ring should use this instead of their video.
Glad it helped, and thank you for watching.
By far the best instructional video! Feels like a dad walking you through it 😊
Glad to hear it helped, and thanks for watching it!

Thank you
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.
Thank you!
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.
That would be a great idea, and some good information. Make that video!
Wow thanks dad !!!!
No problem...that's what dads are for!
Thanks very good video.
Thank you - I appreciate your taking the time to watch!
I'd fix that left wire, should be totally under the screw. Thanks for the video
Good to know
I love this so much.
It works great...just what I needed!
Thanks!
Oh wow! Thank you very much for donating to the channel…I really appreciate your support! I hope the video was helpful to you.
Amazing!!!!
Hope it helped!
Thanks.
And thank you for watching!
Awesome
I really like the Ring Doorbell...it turned out to be just what I needed! I had a package stolen from my porch last December and I wish I'd had this back then.
Thìs one is very difficult to charge battery you have to remove it from wire thanks for your video
They need to rethink that design.
good video
Thanks ...I hope it helped!
thanks man
No problem! Hope it was of some help.
Good Post and the hell with all those yap yap videos !
Haha! I’m not much of a yapper…thanks for watching!
BTW they don't supply the level...
And the blue handle star driver does not have inter changeable bits.....
I have just been given a new sealed one as a gift, no spirit level or drill bit enclosed in mine and no reversible screwdriver tip, just the star end for the security screws.
This is one of the better videos I have watched regarding this installation. I have been watching a few of these videos about installing this to a mechanical doorbell. The transformers in the doorbell unit is 16vac so I know it is enough power. Where I am confused is, will the mechanical doorbell continue to chime, or do I need to add something to make it work?
This was so helpful! Thank you. Did you have to use a drill to mount the other 2 screws to the wall, or did you use the screwdriver that came w/ the doorbell to do it?
Yes, I just used the screwdriver that came with it. I had my drill handy but didn't need it!
My ring doorbell works fine but the chime box in the house is not ringing. Any suggestion? Thank you. Awesome video.
Hi I just bought the same ring device and was wondering if yours worked with the chime that you originally used or are you using a ring chime?
Good video, Stan! I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind? 1) does the old doorbell chime in your house still work with this? 2) the two wires going to your old doorbell button are just for a switch. 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
Can you buy with 2nd one for back door. Not so much to be able to ring the doorbell at back yard but just to see who comes in and out of the back door for when we rent our home on Airbnb occasionally. Any suggestions to be able to have front door and back door video security
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.
@@HowSkills Thanks :)
Good question. I live in townhouse and was looking for one for my backdoor also. Thanks
FYI you can remove the bottom screws without that tool.. Those screws don't even get tight because its a plastic mount. A small flat head screws driver is all you need to steal it..
They need to improve the security on these somehow.
@@HowSkills Yes indeed . You can go on the App and mark them as stolen does this disable them in some way next time they are put on line
So my doorbell chime has 4 screws instead of 3. One is labeled comm, trans, bell 1, and bell 2. I only have one doorbell. Is it safe to assume that comm and trans is what I need to use for jumper wire?
Does your home doorbell chime work with it too? Just wondering because it wasn't on the video. I'm about to purchase a wireless one.. But connect it like you did to the existing doorbell
I just viewed your Ring doorbell install. Very very good and concise instructions. Is there a fee once the doorbell is installed?
You pay a $30 a year fee for the Basic service for one Doorbell and a 60 day video history with the ability to download videos.
Hi a have y doorbell (1st gen) and i use adapter 500 am and supply not working do you think so i need stronger adapter?thx
Does the old door bell still work as well??
Ring should have this video on there instruction Manual.
my package didn’t have screws. what are size of screws from your opinion?
Do you know what the if they have a solar charger mount for this model and could you do an installation for the charger?
They do have a solar charger for this model. I don’t have one myself, but I’m sure the installation is pretty straightforward. I may look into getting one just to see what the installation process would be like.
the instruction mention about a resister to be wired in series with the ring. My kit didnt come with one ¿?
This version of the Ring Doorbell (2nd Generation) should not need a resistor, due to its wiring. It has a built-in diode, and also doesn’t need the resistor that does/did come with some of their doorbells. The resistor was often needed when hardwiring certain versions of Ring doorbells.
I have the same exact ring doorbell. But now i have to take it off and recharge the doorbell every few days. Ive had mine for a little over a year. Are you by any chance having the same issue?
Hey got questions how u turn off the Ring
Does the door bell still chime in the house
Helaas blijf mijn beltravo voortdurend mijn binnen bel activeren. Midden in de nacht gaat de bel spontaan aan. Nu heb ik er een iets tussen gezet om het geluid te dempen. *s nachts zet ik de bel uit, helaas.
Does it Electric Power
In the instructions it said to buy the ring doorbell resistor. Do I need this. I already bought it but won't use it unless I need it. I currently have a doorbell with a mechanical chime and would like the ring doorbell to ring the chime in my house. I have the same model doorbell as you. 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
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.
How did you remove the bracket to install? Just got this device yesterday and am having a difficult time separating. Thank you
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 got it thank you much!
You don’t need any transformer?
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 🤣😂
@@livetodaydietomorrowltdt2405 yes they can run off of a rechargeable battery but the recommend connection to a wired supply ..my comment is referring to the fact that some were thinking they needed a hard wired Dc supply and that is not the case
@@beatlessteve1010 what is the best door video system for this days?
@@livetodaydietomorrowltdt2405 to me it is subjective..it depends on ones needs and circumstances as well as environment.
@@beatlessteve1010 I might buy the ring pro 2 maybe I will go for an all home security system bundle. Have a nice day
Hi I have this quest for the longest and can fin any answers around you tube we you connected you ring to the wires do you still have to charge the battery, because my is connected to the wires and I started getting messages about charging my battery any feed back on this matter? Thank you
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 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 ?
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.
Hello did you have to use the ring pro power kit 2
No, with my installation I didn’t need to use that.
In the instructions, does it say what size torx bit size is needed? Is the internal camera rain proof, or should I seal it with a tiny amount of silicon bathtub calk? 10 years ago, I tried one of those wireless doorbells in back. It went dead after a heavy rain.
Thanks for the tips........
It comes with a torx wrench for you to use, and the camera is sealed against rain and moisture. I haven’t had any trouble with mine, so I’m sure you won’t have a problem with yours. I have nothing but good things to say about mine!
@@HowSkills Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Uhm, I installed mine hardwired not fully charge. Everything works. House chime works like a charm but when I go on the app still says "power source - battery. Any thoughts?
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.
@@HowSkills what is the old system like is it a old maniacal chime or some new electronic thing they may not be able to charge a ring
an excellent informative video! well done. I have this model and it is hardwired into the door bell wires directly. How do I take it off to charge the battery with it hardwired?
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.
@@HowSkills thank you. some of the videos show that you can remove the battery pack and charge it at your charging station. mine was fully charged and has been active and installed, hardwired to the doorbell for a while now.
@@donnacurrie7360 Some models do have a removable battery, but unfortunately, this exact model doesn’t. The Ring Video Doorbell 2, 3, 3 Plus, and the Peephole Cam all have removable batteries.
@@GmaGpaAdventures oh crap! I will need a lesson in unwiring it from the doorbell wires. ugh. thank you for solving the big question that helps!
@@HowSkills I had it all charged up and it took a couple of months to get it installed. i should have checked that before the installation happened. sigh.
What if you have a small space from the old doorbell. This ring doorbell is a bit wider
They do make some different types of extension mounts that might work. Ring has some, but you can also find some on eBay and Esty. Try searching for some of those. Sounds like you might need something that mounts behind the Ring Doorbell to make it stick out further from the wall.
Hi I have seen this video does the wire that goes from the electric charge the battery or do you need to take the battery off to charge it Thanks
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.
my 2.Gen hardwired is loading very low, 5% for 8hours, whats the problem or is this normal?
Do you need a jumper cable ? On the Chime ?
No thay work fine without
I installed one 3gen ring door bell in my SriLanka home is it possible to watch from Canada? The house have the wifi.
You should be able to watch from anywhere in the world!
Does your old doorbell ring still along with the new Ring functions?
Yes, it does. It works perfectly. So far, I’ve been very happy with this doorbell.
Thanks I did all the right things but my doorbell does not send alerts to my phone. Nokia 7.2 Can you help
Make sure you’re on wifi and that you have Notifications enabled. Then uncheck the notifications and then recheck it. See if that helps. You can also uninstall the app and then install it again. I’ve read where some people had to clear their phones cache and that helped. I haven’t personally had this problem so I’m just guessing.
Will it play the doorbell sound when you press it?
Yes, it will. Mine is wired into my existing doorbell wiring and you can set it to ring your existing chime. Ring also sells Chime and Chime Pro.
Do you know why they provide two black antenna like wires in the kit? I didn’t use them when I installed it
Offhand, I'm not sure what they are for...I didn't have those in my box. Could they possibly be diodes that some Ring Doorbells require?
They are extension wires if your existing are to short How you are supposed to connect them I do not know but I would solder them but first put on a length of shrink down insulation then shrink it down
Do you need to connect with any security alarm system and pay monthly payment? Thanks
You don’t have to pay anything extra if you don’t want to. But I have the additional Basic Plan that’s $30 a year and stores 60 days of video history from my device. There is a more expensive plan that also works with Ring Alarm.
great video! only problem with my setup is the surface isn’t completely flat near the door where the wires come out, what do you recommend?
If it is wired so it won't need taken down to charge, I'd just caulk around it. You can get black caulk so it blends in with the plastic bracket better.
@@dustintunis9347 nice, thanks for the tip! we haven’t set up the Ring doorbell yet in the app & synced it with our Alexa Show yet, do you have to go to Settings to make it play a chime when the button is pressed? (i believe it’s wired correctly)
@@glenbarrett8299 - I haven't installed one yet, so I don't know.
You can go to Settings in the app under "In-home Chime Settings" and select "Automatic Chime Detection", or select "Advanced Settings", and then manually setup and configure your doorbell chime.
@@HowSkills This is the best post ever very good info indeed I have just changed the one I installed to Automatic Chime Detection And yes perfect Chiming on the old mechanical chime unit The unit must for a moment disconnect the charge circuit, run on its battery and loop back the wires to make it ding dong as it originally did with the old press button Very clever bit of kit
Interesting I just purchased this model built in (non removable battery) the instructions state that you must install a resistor 25 ohm/50W onto one of the wires coming from the transformer, in order to complete this install.
Does anyone know if that is just a recommendation or mandatory?
The resistor isn’t needed if you are hardwiring your doorbell into existing wiring that is connected to an already existing doorbell chime. That was my case in this video. The chime served as the resistor in my circuit. But if your house doesn’t have existing wiring connecting to a chime, and you are directly attaching to a doorbell transformer, then a resistor is needed as a substitute for the absence of the house-bell chime for this doorbell.
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
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.
