    In this video we show you how to install the new Ring Video Doorbell Wired that was released in 2021. The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is different from other doorbells in the Ring line up in that it has most of the same features as the higher end Ring doorbells but comes in at a much lower cost.
    The catch is that the Ring Video Doorbell Wired must be wired and that it also disables your existing doorbell chime when it's installed because it requires a jumper wire for installation. Even though the Ring Video Doorbell disables your existing chime, Ring has wireless doorbell chimes that work with the Ring Doorbell and can be connected through the app to work with your doorbell. The advantage of the wifi chimes is that you can place them anywhere you want throughout your home for installation and you can have multiple wifi Ring chimes connected to one Ring doorbell.
    Another advantage of the New Ring Video Doorbell Wired is that it only requires 10V AC for operation so most existing doorbell transformers will work with the Ring Video doorbell wired.
    To Install The Ring Video Doorbell Wired:
    1. Turn off the power to the doorbell at the circuit breaker.
    2. Remove the existing doorbell chime cover.
    3. Install the Ring Doorbell jumper wire in the existing doorbell chime.
    4. Replace the doorbell chime cover.
    5. Remove your existing Doorbell Button.
    6. Wire the existing doorbell wires to the New Ring Video Doorbell.
    7. Secure the New Ring Video Doorbell Wired with 2 screws.
    8. Restore the power to the Ring Doorbell.
    9. With the power restored to the doorbell it should light up.
    10. Download the Ring App or login to the Ring app to begin the setup process on your phone. Follow the setup instructions and scan the code on the side of the Ring Video Doorbell Wired to connect it to your phone.
    11. Follow the instructions in the app and complete the set up of your Ring Doorbell Wired.

    Great video, truly helped me set-up in 30 minutes, and I'm almost 60 yrs old. The one thing I noticed is if you set-it up with Alexa (Echo Dot), it will ring through the Eco Dot, you hear a chime on the Eco Dot, so I didn't need to buy the ringer for it. Thank you once again.

      I did it in 15 min and I’m 70. Rings through my Ring control box and Ring apps on iDevices. I had an older SECŪR360 installed last, which changed all the original wiring. I ended just connecting the transformer output to the doorbell wires directly. No ding-dong yet on my Echo Dot gen 2, but I have a newer Echo coming. Now we need an 80 year old to do it in 10!

    We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/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.

      I still don't know the answer to this question but I have found a solution. If you have an Alexa, just link it to your Ring account. Alexa will let you know if there's motion or if there's someone at your door.

      No. The jumper sends current back to the transformer, otherwise the doorbell chime and the ring doorbell itself would be wired in series. Neither would work.

      Find your transformer...whichever room/closet it is located in or near then that's probably the circuit. Turn off the breaker and see if the doorbell no longer works. If no longer works, then you have found the breaker.

    What would happen if you don’t install the jumper cable? I currently have the ring doorbell pro but it stopped working and bought this one thinking that I could just swap it for the old one but didn’t notice that this would disable your chime. And I’m just wondering what would happen if I do it like I was originally planning to.

      I’m not an electrician but I would guess the jumper cable is used to complete a circuit. It sounds like you should hire someone to look at what you did.

    What do you do with the jumper cable if you are connecting a front AND back door bell ring camera? Do you just use the other jumper cable on the rear terminal to trans and have both of them on the trans?

      A chime. No need for another chime in my opinion.

      @@gml1868 that's so interesting. The jump wire essentially completes the circuit allowing the power to go to the front door... As long as it works. If you go into your settings into the app and device status, you can see the voltage ⚡, you tap on it and it switches to tell you the number and if it's a healthy amount. To ensure you're all good.
      I ended up getting an Alexa as the chime, no complaints there. The device is great, but the Ring app needs lots of improvement. They'll get there lol

I do have an Android device too, funny enough it's a TV remote, so I'm wondering if this will work with a non-phone device.
