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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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'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?
@@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
@@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.
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
Your video is to the point!. Great video
Appreciate the video. Made the install super simple.
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.
You made it look easy. Thank you!

Nope
Billy bob Thornton?
A very good video. Easy to follow and understand.
How did you get Billy Bob Thornton to install you door bell camera ?
Nice tutorial video very informative❤
Very helpful
You look just like Bill Bob Thorton
What is the purpose of the power kit? Necessary, Works without it? Is that just a wireless dongle to ring the bell?
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.

I did everything here but never turned the power off. Safety first
For the life of Jesus I have two screw drivers and no idea where a power box thing is at.!!!!!!
clutch!
Without the subscription, how effective is it?
I’m not sure I have a subscription- it’s cheap
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.
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

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

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.
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

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

Welp my doorbell doesnt work
Anyone else strip the mounting screws? Bad design.. damaged my doorbell. I think I’ll warranty it in a few months 🙄
I these pro 2 suppose to get warm/hot to the touch?

wait what ? subscription ? total turn off
Literally a thumbs down.. 👎
Yo mejor compro el otro timbre el gris
Subscription to what ? I am not paying a dam subscription to anything for a stupid video doorbell.
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.
