Thank you for the video! I followed the instructions and the ring door bell is working but the existing chime is not working. I put the power kit to the side as noted on your video but no luck. What should I try?
1:55 Totally right , I installed 3 of these doorbells and the screws included are unreal, very hard to screw and you will be stripping the screw head in no time , don't even try to use them.... really
My man.. u should make a tutorial teaching RUclips content creators how to PROPERLY & EFFECTIVELY create a tutorial, great job, immediate sub for all notifications, thnx
What if you already have a ring doorbell installed for the back of your house but you need another one for the front of your house what do you do? With the extra Ring power pack now you’re going to have two in there and you do that
Thanks for your video. Where does the Pro Power Pack go if you are not using the existing mechanical chime. I need to wire the Ring Pro directly to the transformer . Then I will use the Ring Chime which plugs seperately into the wall. Thank you
I got a ring pro 3 doorbell hard wired, noticed after about a year and a half I started to have to charge with the USB cord. Do these batteries go bad after awhile and need to be replaced? I have power from the transformer just seems the trickle charger is not working. Any thoughts?
Yes, pretty much. You could go without it if wanting to go, for example, with the plug in Ring Chime device. Your wired Ring doorbell and pluged in Ring chime will find each other so the ring chime goes off when you press the doorbell. So that thing is just to trigger the traditional doorbell.
If you want to flush it in the wall so that nobody can yank it out, is there a video on that? I want to use some sort of box inside the wall and use mortar to hold it in and then install my Nest doorbell. Can anyone link me to a video that can help me to do that?
Replacing a Nest Camera as it quit and Google no longer supports it. Also and sadly one of my low voltage wires broke off inside my stucco wall so I’m going to the battery option and going to buy a backup battery. My question is because it’s on the side wall not front facing outward would you recommend the wedge for mounting to face outward and get a little better view? With the battery pro version I don’t think it include the wedge so probably have to buy it separately. Thanks in advance for your reply!
I know this is 3 mos old and you probably figured this out by now, but hopefully you went with the wedge. Without it, you would have view of the door and the opposite side with maybe limited view of what’s in front of the door. With the wedge, I can see who is coming from the left and front of the door. I have another camera on the blind spot area. Hopefully everything worked out for you!
I'm assuming the rear terminal inside of the doorbell chime box is for a rear doorbell, right? The reason I ask is that I'd like to run two of these, one in the front and one in the back of the house...do I just hook up the rear doorbell to the rear terminal and trans?
Mine has the welcome chime and then turns off before I can complete setup. I tried setting up the power booster in every configuration I could think of. Still not enough power I guess. Any other ideas on how to make this work?
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro It’s manufactured by Nutone Covill and it has various markings regarding voltage. At the top is 24V 20VA. On the lower left: 8V. On the lower right: 16V. That is 3 prongs total and they are all connected to a wire. I tried all possible combinations with the Power Kit. None seemed to make any difference. And today I talked to a Ring specialist and the resolution they came up with was to send me a replacement Pro 2. So that’s where I am in the process.
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro It should be. But I tried every configuration and no luck. Thanks. Glad they are sending a new unit as well. Hopefully that's the issue.
Did it help? We are on our second one trying to set it up, but unable to connect before the doorbell loses power. We also have a 24v transformer. But, we have 3 chimes so I’m curious if we need a power supply on every chime?
can i put those 2 wires together( trans wire and front wire)? the chime was removed and a power kit is attached to it right now because we were using ring doorbell pro. im installing a 2nd generation ring doorbell which does not need a power kit . so when i remove the power kit should i separate the 2 wires or tie them together? hope you can help me, thanks.
Good video. I followed the same steps but my doorbell has a consistent buzz to it inside ever since wiring it in. I have a 16V10VA. Any tips to correct this?
Thank you! I thought that jumper for the doorbell was a backup battery that went inside the Ring. The included directions are CRAP! And I could watch you video in the time it would take to reach a human on the phone.
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I might have a defective one... who knows? Checking the temp. Just now showed 105°F. Earlier showed 111°F. Outside temp. 80. Hopefully, that shit fixes itself, lol.
Had my pro 2 installed for about a year and half now it lost signal from one day to another. Went to check it out and it’s super hot. Checked all my wiring and current and everything reads normal. Doorbell is under a covered entry way too. Disappointed with my ring doorbell pro 2.
@@jmoreno2512 Had connectivity issues with my Pro2 for 4 hours tonight because of at&t. When I looked up what was going on, it seemed like half the country had internet issues. My Pro2 is under an entry overhang as well. Just checked the temp, and it's sitting at about 95°F. Temp outside 69°F. Will continue to check it periodically.
I don't have a subscription and mine won't connect to WiFi anymore after 2 years of working ok. It still rings my chime but I can no longer see who is outside when my doorbell rings. The camera portion no longer works, and won't connect to WiFi no matter what I do. Junk in my opinion.
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Thanks, I am getting conflict reports Ring DoorBell has changed their policy on what you get for free. It's not crystal clear to me from their website what is free and what isn't. I was looking for something like a RingDoor Bell but would work at the local level and not be required to have anything to do with the MFG, also let me look at the camera on my home laptop. All my house cameras work that way letting me use a computer to see the video or my cell phone with a app that lets me look at all my cameras regardless of the MFG. Ring can change their policy at a moments notice and you have no choice but to get a new doorbell should they force you into a subscription just to get notifications and see who is at your door.
@n1kkri yes. If want the alerts to b recorded then u need subscription The subscription works out better and more economical if u have 3+ or united device u pay 1 payment annually. It covers warranty too. I had one replaced in the past 6 years.have 6 devices in total
For real, it took me and my dad 20 minutes because the instructions didn't show how to take the cover off, this guy also wasted 7 minutes of our time because it was too fast
Nothing like someone explaining in 3 minutes what most RUclipsrs make a 27minute video for. THANK YOU! Very helpful
Preach
Straight to the point no fluff. PERFECT INSTRUCTIONS AND VIDEO
Thank you Billy Bob Thornton.
Ayo 😂

I screwed the long mounting screws into wood easily with a Phillips screw driver. Not sure what you were screwing into.
@newfie-dean5803 doorframe wood... I had no issues with any other screws but the ones that I got from Ring
Appreciate the video. Made the install super simple.
Your video is to the point!. Great video
What are those extra wires that come in the kit?
How did you get Billy Bob Thornton to install you door bell camera ?
My man.. u should make a tutorial teaching RUclips content creators how to PROPERLY & EFFECTIVELY create a tutorial, great job, immediate sub for all notifications, thnx
Thank you 🙏
Isn't this all low voltage after the transformer? Do I need to kill the breaker?
What if you already have a ring doorbell installed for the back of your house but you need another one for the front of your house what do you do? With the extra Ring power pack now you’re going to have two in there and you do that
Great video - easy to understand and no bs
“ItS ToO fAsT” no this was perfect and easy to follow. Great instructional video
Nope
I have NO IDEA where my doorbell chime is at. Do i even need that little block.
Thanks for the how to! I can’t stand that these billion dollar companies can’t give you good hardware, it flippin drives me nuts!

What is the purpose of the power kit? Necessary, Works without it? Is that just a wireless dongle to ring the bell?

I believe so but double check your wiring diagram
That should've been it, howd it go?
@@roymunson1 👍 perfect

What kind of transformer do you have

If you are hooked up to the 24v that should be enough voltage. Glad they are sending you another one@@jhodson

Did everything you did but mines not turning on
does it come on a flat wedge or like a corner one
It comes with an angled wedge or what I call a mounting bracket.
A very good video. Easy to follow and understand.
Good video. I followed the same steps but my doorbell has a consistent buzz to it inside ever since wiring it in. I have a 16V10VA. Any tips to correct this?
I would check to make sure all connections are tight and that you are getting 16 volts
Same problem
suppose to use a 16-24v 30va or 40va transformer for the pro2 model
Me too. And the bell won’t ding
And after this u need still battery changes?
It’s the wired version no battery
@@PhillipLathrophow does it get power?
@@bryanr5185from the transformer where your chime is located. Typically inside the home.
Billy bob Thornton?
Yes!!!!!!
😂
Thank you! I thought that jumper for the doorbell was a backup battery that went inside the Ring. The included directions are CRAP! And I could watch you video in the time it would take to reach a human on the phone.
Nice tutorial video very informative❤
That is a capacitor or what?
I these pro 2 suppose to get warm/hot to the touch?
No, mine doesn’t even in direct sunlight

Seems dangerous I hope these things don't start fires
Without the subscription, how effective is it?
I’m not sure I have a subscription- it’s cheap

You can only see live feed on the camera. I never purchased the subscription.
Yeah that's what I was saying. my live feed stopped working. @@Zombie23Maniac
You look just like Bill Bob Thorton
Thank you
Do you need a subscription to use the door bell and get notifications when someone walks in front of your doorbell?
No

Anyone else strip the mounting screws? Bad design.. damaged my doorbell. I think I’ll warranty it in a few months 🙄

clutch!
I think its crazy that you have to have a subscription for an item that you've already paid for... Everything is going to subscriptions these days.

For the life of Jesus I have two screw drivers and no idea where a power box thing is at.!!!!!!
It could be in your breaker panel

too fast thumbs down
For real, it took me and my dad 20 minutes because the instructions didn't show how to take the cover off, this guy also wasted 7 minutes of our time because it was too fast
You must be super slow. It's not like you're taking apart a PC.
Just pause the video
You can slow down the video if you can't follow.
Straight to the point videos on youtube are rare and appreciated.
Thank you
