At time 3:45-4:00, mounting the ring to the wedge, you can't use the four long screws as shown for all four holes. On the short side of the wedge you need to use the smaller length screws. Otherwise you will break through the wedge and screw more holes into your wall.
I learned the hard way. 😞I used the long ones for the thick side and then realized the short ones are needed for the narrow side of the wedge. I hope I didn't break anything with the long screws.
"WARNING" If you are installing your Ring with the wedge, do not use the long screws (video at 13 minutes). Use the smallest screws. If try to use the long screws you will crack the bracket or strip the screws. I found out the hard way.
I'm replacing my first generation (wireless) Ring Doorbell with the Doorbell Plus. However, do you have to use the wedge plate to mount the Doorbell Plus? I don't think I can use the old plate and I'm just trying not to have to drill into my siding, to mount the wedge. Thanks
We have aluminum siding and glass…..how to mount? Also how high off the ground must the unit be located? We have some limited wood trim it might fit on but it’s lower to the ground. Help please!
Can I use the no drill mount only and not the wedge to mount the device to the house. The door is under an overhang so the door frame does not get wet.
Hello! What size drill bit do you need to install the wedge? I have to install the wedge on a brick exterior and need to order a brick drill bit. What size should I order?
Once I added the battery in the Ring camera, the original "1999 home door bell chime" stopped working. But b4 i put the battery in the Ring Camera, the door bell chime WORKED! Can you tell me why it won't set off the door bell chime when I put the battery in the Ring Camera?? 🤷♂️
no, hard wiring it simply adds some extra juice so that it can trickle charge the battery. you can install it and run the ring off of nothing but battery if you like
I was thinking of this questions too, I thought this camera was battery only, I’ve seen wires and found out it’s WiFi only too. Doesn’t this company have a normal plugged doorbell camera?
I was going to hardwire my ring as well, but why wouldn’t you just buy the wired version? I accidentally bought the battery doorbell plus instead of a wired version. Even though it will work to be hardwired, is there a benefit or a downside?
You have to go to your breaker box to power it off. If it's not indicated, you'll need to find where your chime bos is located and turn off the breaker for that area. Else, turn each breaker off until the light goes off on your existing doorbell.
No you do not. I just bought this Ring Plus after exchanging the one I previously bought because of the power kit piece. I don't have a doorbell chime box, plus the doorbell button at my front door does not have power. A neightbor recommened this device to me.
If you are using a wired unit you would install a jumper on the transformer in the chime box. If you are using a Ring unit with a battery you do not need the jumper, as it takes a lower voltage to run the unit.
idk if it’s just me, but the screwdriver they gave me doesn’t work ..? like it doesn’t have a tip that goes into the screws - the tip is just round with no edges
I have doorbell 3 but plan on getting doorbell plus because im tired of the battery draining and having to charge the battery. Anyway I have doorbell 3 mounted with the wedge piece and the doorbell mount for doorbell plus seems kind of flimsey in comparison. Can installed the doorbell plus using the old mount from doorbell 3???
@scoops1996 that was the original reason I thought of (why I'd want it) but then realized, if there's no power then you won't have wifi for it to connect to the cloud.
Pulling the cover off to expose the battery is not that easy it looks like his cover was already taken off and just was laid on top of the ring doorbell
Here 2025 & I think this video summed it all up, easy to understand and follow...just installed mine...bravo...

There are several installation videos to choose from. Yours is the best. Thanks!
This is the best video on TH-cam for installing and setting up! Thank you so much!
Thanks! Keep bringing updates to the RING community 💫
Thank you you guided me well short & simple
Thank YOU!! This was so hard to find and Ring helped NONE! Kudos
Thanks - very helpful! My device didn't come instructions that made sense. You clarified everything I needed to know.
EXCELLENT video - Thanks for sharing!
So appreciate this instruction!
Thank you so much, sir, for your tutorial. I appreciate your patience and knowledge. Best Regards to you. 🙂
Excellent. Very thorough.
Thank you!

Hello! What size drill bit do you need to install the wedge? I have to install the wedge on a brick exterior and need to order a brick drill bit. What size should I order?
does any other type of ring baseplate work I hate the wedge
Once I added the battery in the Ring camera, the original "1999 home door bell chime" stopped working. But b4 i put the battery in the Ring Camera, the door bell chime WORKED! Can you tell me why it won't set off the door bell chime when I put the battery in the Ring Camera?? 🤷♂️
great vid. helped me heaps. thx
Can one ask when you put the electric back on to the doorbell did a light stay on, on the front of the doorbell
If you use the wedge, then you only have to drill two holes into the wall and four screws screw into the wedge?
correct
Mine didn't have a flat mount, only like a wedge one
Thank you so much
Any time!
Can this be mounted without using the angle?
Yeah
Thank you for the good instruction and video. I just subscribe. 👍
Thanks for posting this!
What about the chime. Do this one rings the existing chime too?
My doorbell is a on ceramic plate no screws. What drill do I use to make the holes?
How do you adjust camera view? In the software or have to move the entire camera? Great video.
Other ring door bells comes with jumper cable when wiring is needed. Does this model need jumper cable? I don't see one in the shipped box?
Do you have to hard wire this? Or can you just use the battery. I have one but our door bell wiring is not powered
You can do either. We have a hard wired doorbell, but I can't put our Ring there as not enough space!!.
no, hard wiring it simply adds some extra juice so that it can trickle charge the battery. you can install it and run the ring off of nothing but battery if you like
This doorbell takes up a lot of space compared to others!
you dont need to kill the power if you know what your doing, doorbell is low voltage
exactly, it's just a "so the lawyers don't sue us" thing. I've never once turned off the power when I installed them for clients.
Is there anyway to turn off the white light around the ring when it’s hard wire
I don't have wifi, can I use the doorbell
You need wifi
I was thinking of this questions too, I thought this camera was battery only, I’ve seen wires and found out it’s WiFi only too. Doesn’t this company have a normal plugged doorbell camera?
Excellent walkthrough of setting up this device. Much appreciated.
I was going to hardwire my ring as well, but why wouldn’t you just buy the wired version? I accidentally bought the battery doorbell plus instead of a wired version. Even though it will work to be hardwired, is there a benefit or a downside?
How does one turn the power off ones doorbell?
You have to go to your breaker box to power it off. If it's not indicated, you'll need to find where your chime bos is located and turn off the breaker for that area. Else, turn each breaker off until the light goes off on your existing doorbell.
Do you need to mess with the door bell chime box in the hallway tho?
No you do not. I just bought this Ring Plus after exchanging the one I previously bought because of the power kit piece. I don't have a doorbell chime box, plus the doorbell button at my front door does not have power. A neightbor recommened this device to me.
If you are using a wired unit you would install a jumper on the transformer in the chime box. If you are using a Ring unit with a battery you do not need the jumper, as it takes a lower voltage to run the unit.
Need to link the wires at the chime
When wired, my home's wall chime doesn't chime. Is there a way to make this happen?
You might need a jumper wire on your indoor chime, usually the jumper is between the left 2 terminals
How about using existing door chime?
Yes, you can do that! Great point!
Thanks for the video. One question, where can I buy that black base with an angle that I install with the doorbell plus?
idk if it’s just me, but the screwdriver they gave me doesn’t work ..? like it doesn’t have a tip that goes into the screws - the tip is just round with no edges
I have doorbell 3 but plan on getting doorbell plus because im tired of the battery draining and having to charge the battery.
Anyway I have doorbell 3 mounted with the wedge piece and the doorbell mount for doorbell plus seems kind of flimsey in comparison. Can installed the doorbell plus using the old mount from doorbell 3???
Happy to have my camera
I can;t get the bottom screw to screw in!!!
and I am using the right one :(
I can't use the door bell wire becasue it would just face the wall instead of the front.
what if i don’t have an existing doorbell?
Then you can put it anywhere, but you'll have to remove and charge the battery occasionally.
Is there a caveat with the purchase? Is any monthly subscription required?
Thank you
Wait I thought it was only with battery? My door doesn’t have space for wires?
Those are the wrong screws for holding ringer to baseplate!
He didn't start with what comes in the box or give both options of installation.
What if you want it to be standalone?
Am I tripping but what’s the point of putting battery instead of wired in the tittle
Works in blackout?
Some older houses like mine don’t have a doorbell so there’s no wiring. This is a solution to that.
@scoops1996 that was the original reason I thought of (why I'd want it) but then realized, if there's no power then you won't have wifi for it to connect to the cloud.
I live in a duplex without a doorbell
@@SirMike02I thought the same thing lol I was looking for battery installation, not wired.
Nothing like spending 13 minutes to present information that could be presented in 90 seconds.
Pulling the cover off to expose the battery is not that easy it looks like his cover was already taken off and just was laid on top of the ring doorbell
🌟🦋💖💚💜
You don’t have to be that close to the device.
why is no one talking about how we all saw his is location?
Stupid video, put wired in the title if you’re doing a wired install smh
You don’t want to turn the power on 1st make sure that’s working prior to battery?
