We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/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.
Appreciate the information you provided that IF you cannot connect wirelessly then to get the extender WiFi chime. Didn't know it was a WiFi extender as well. Excellent video and thank you
Thanks for a very understandable video, especially the part about drilling into stucco. I was afraid that they had left out the little level that used to be included in the earlier models, but I see that you did not have one either.
Yep, no level with the Video Doorbell 4, even though it has the slot for one. Also no retro bracket included anymore. You have to spend $1.99 on the spare parts kit for these things. Stupid Ring!
Thanks for this video, knowing my luck my ring 4 won't connect without the extra thingimawotsit either.🤦🏼♀️ I'll come back and let y'all know when I've fitted the darned thing. 😮
EXCELLENT VIDEO Question: Is this Waterproof, or do you have to have it under cover of the porch? I want to put on on my Travel Trailer but it is NOT covered.
Hello 👋 no they are not waterproof they are water resistant, manufacturer says it can withstand normal rain and snow but I never tried lol. Sorry about the music sometimes it gets out of control, will try better next time 😂
Hello Lou R, yes when someone rings the bell you get notified on your phone, you can open the app on your phone and talk to the person standing at the door.
I have my phone and echo /alexa connected, it gives notifications on both, the phone works well when I'm away from the house you can still talk to people at your door and see who it is.
@Jeremy Horne I can hear the sound throughout the house coming from the Chime. I’m not sure but I think if it’s not wired to your existing doorbell you won’t be able to hear it in the house. And I do get alerts on my phone as well. Hope this answers your question.
@ Nana Scott price varies, depending which doorbell you want and sometimes they have discounts, so I would check their website or a place where you would be buying it from. Also subscription is not required however if you want to have your events saved then you would want a subscription which cost 30 a year.
Hi ma'am how long does the battery long last? I appreciate it a lot coz I'm trying to buy ring coz I'm leaving out of the country for 40days. I wonder if the battery will last long for a that long period of time.
@Smitley Vlog hi there, that’s a good question. Ring says it should last from 6-12 months depending on activity, however for me it only lasts 2-3 months. But again it all depends on your doorbell’s activity, how much recording it does and settings you have. Hope this helps 🙂
Go ask at the home depot or lowes which one works for the holes, they usually know...I'd take the one I currently have along to show them the poser. But be careful with powerful drills I almost twisted my wrist they are very powerful, have someone with knowledge drill the wholes it can be dangerous.
Thank you for the money that we spend. You would think Ringwood have their own decent video. It’s ridiculous. She paid for this and they don’t have a decent video.
@@hitmaneast9815 good point! I personally have not purchased a second battery but it is a good idea. I try to charge mine when home so there’s no issues of missing action in front of the house if you know what I mean. Haven’t had any issues since don’t need to charge too often but a spare would be nice.
@TGLife1 I was the same as you. I have a issue with a neighbour who has mental health and been to my door with knives ect. So i got a second battery so always have peace of mind.
👌🏼 Video. Easy to understand. You guys did a GR8 job & the Chime Pro Extender was 🍒 in the cake. 🙏🏼 You! Wish Ring would have included the leveler & flat mounting plate. 🫤
Thank you for mentioning the size of the drill bit used to drill the holes!
This video soothed my anxiety of installing the ring doorbell ❤❤
So glad you found it helpful 💜

Nice video. Thanks for also highlighting the facts of the Wi-Fi extender
I received mine yesterday. Your video is very helpful. Thank you
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Enjoy your new ring doorbell!

Thanks for explaining about not using the wires and doing wireless, thanks 👍 😀
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the video. looks pretty straight forward to install.
Thank this is going to save me money by doing it myself!

Good luck to you with the new ring 😉
I have STUCCO on my main house...
Everything is almost STUCCO in New Mexico (US)... LOL
4:50
Background Noise/Music is really LOUD...why?
Thank you was looking for a video that shows how to install and if there isn’t any signal what to do.
@halima riaz You’re welcome! So glad my video was helpful 💛

amazing video!
Does the bell give you notification on your phone?

Hi. Question. The 4ft is from the top of the Ring Camera or from the bottom?
That’s a good question, I don’t think they specify exactly so it’s really up to you how you want it. They say about chest high.
Thank you
Can u hear the ringing sound throughout the house or does it only alert you on your phone?
@Jeremy Horne I can hear the sound throughout the house coming from the Chime. I’m not sure but I think if it’s not wired to your existing doorbell you won’t be able to hear it in the house. And I do get alerts on my phone as well. Hope this answers your question.
@@TGLife1 thank you
Hi! Question...So the bottom of the Ring should be 4ft from the ground?
The makers of ring recommend to mount the doorbell about 48inches from the ground. That’s what we did ☺️
I would’ve liked to of heard you talk back-and-forth from the doorbell to the phone. Thank you to ask who’s at the door
I agree that would have been a nice addition to this video, maybe in the next one! Thanks for your comment!
They're called Rawl PLugs
Those little plastic things she is referring to are called anchors.
How much did the router/ chime cost?
At that time $50 I believe it’s a bit more now.
❤great video 🎉
How much did all of this cost? Do you have to pay a subscription?

Perhaps you should get the wired one, it doesnt have a battery life and it works well.
@@reibluebook4419 next time definitely will!
@@reibluebook4419
Agree. I think Hardwiring is the best but only works when You have a preexisting door bell which my apt bldg doesn’t have. 🫤
Anybody have issues with the anchors being a bit loose? Doesn't feel super secure
So far so good, not loose at all, maybe depends on the wall or something else, maybe we just got lucky :)
Which ring is this since you said it's not the 2020 one
@Nana Scott it is the ring doorbell 4
So my drill isnt strong enough to make holes. I’m going to have to return the Ring.
Go ask at the home depot or lowes which one works for the holes, they usually know...I'd take the one I currently have along to show them the poser. But be careful with powerful drills I almost twisted my wrist they are very powerful, have someone with knowledge drill the wholes it can be dangerous.
lol woow
You didn't say what distance from your porch it should be mounted. That was the only part I was concerned with.
Thank you for the money that we spend. You would think Ringwood have their own decent video. It’s ridiculous. She paid for this and they don’t have a decent video.
They have a video in the app.
8 hr charge time??
First time yes, after that a bit less but still takes a while to charge.
If using wireless recommend to get a second battery so can always have one fully charged
