Preparation is Key
Before you begin the installation process, make sure you have the following:
- Ring Video Doorbell and accessories
- Drill and screwdriver
- Level and measuring tape
- Power drill and bits (for masonry surfaces)
- Wire stripper (for connecting wires)
- Ring app account and smartphone
Step 1: Remove Existing Doorbell Button and Power Off Transformer
Remove your existing doorbell button from the wall and disconnect the wires. For a wired installation, power off your transformer to avoid electrical shock. Note that your Ring Video Doorbell is compatible with doorbell systems supplying 8-24 volts AC at 50 or 60Hz, 40VA max.
Step 2: Install Mounting Bracket
Mark your holes using the mounting bracket as a guide. If installing on a masonry surface, first drill holes using the provided drill bit. Insert wall anchors before inserting screws. If installing on a wood surface, you can screw the bracket directly into your wall. Consult the Ring user manual for specific instructions.
Step 3: Connect Wires and Install Ring Doorbell
Push the screws into the anchors or directly into the wall until they're flush with the mounting bracket and the bracket is flat against the wall. Connect the wires to the proper terminals, ensuring they're secure and not touching any metal parts. Install the Ring doorbell, ensuring it's level and securely attached to the mounting bracket.
Step 4: Connect to Wi-Fi and Download Ring App
Connect your Ring Video Doorbell to your Wi-Fi network using the Ring app. Download and install the Ring app on your smartphone to access your doorbell's features and settings.
Step 5: Test Your Ring Video Doorbell
Push the front button on your Ring Video Doorbell indoors near your router to see video from your Ring in the Ring app. Then test your Ring Video Doorbell outside to ensure it's working properly.
Additional Tips and Troubleshooting
For problems with video quality after installation, you may need to move your router closer to your door or add a Ring Chime Pro. Refer to the Ring user manual or online setup guide for extra help and troubleshooting tips.
