You could do it. You’d need to get the plug-in adaptor and get the wire into the apartment. I’m not sure you are good with mounting something outside an apartment. You can buy a chime for it or just use your phone.
Got one of these along with a complete Ring alarm system. Pay the $10/mo for the monitoring and you've automatically got the cloud storage. The 2.4ghz network limitation hasn't been an issue for me as I already had good coverage in my house with the eero mesh system. 2.4ghz has better range anyway so I can see why Ring created a version of the wired doorbell without 5ghz support. With a decent porch light, I get 1080p video night and day. Just an all-around great choice for the money.
Installed mine and everything good. The only problem - now my back door doorbell doesnt work. The jumper cable you install in your wiring not only disables the doorbell the Ring is replacing, it disables a doorbell i didnt touch.
Pairing it with Alexa allows you to use Alexa as your chime and will tell you someone is approaching your door and with alerts on your phone you can be in the backyard or deep in your basement and know when someone is at the door, perfect for older people. Oh, the Blue Dots seen on the zone setting can be slid around to make a very very custom alert zone.
Thank you I almost tried to buy a wall mount part because I just couldn't figure out how it came off and decided it probably didn't lol, so I'm very grateful to you.
Closing on my new house later today and I’m still up watching Ring Doorbell videos. I think this might be the one! Cost efficient but still getting all current features. Doorbell voltage already checks out.. so this is the one! Going to pick this up from my local Best Buy after closing!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Loved it. I bought it with your link and it was 41.99. I never would have figured out how to pop out the front. I would have destroyed it first...LOL. Thank you. I wasn't bored and usually I get very bored very quickly with these videos. Great job!!! Now I have to put up crown moulding. I bought gorgeous wood moulding for next to nothing. I can always use a class on mitring. Is there a way to upload pics? I would love to show you what I purchased from this estate sale. It's about 6k in moulding for 300.00.
Good video, just thinking of getting the wired but, my dilemma is that when your facing the door the bell is to the left, just wondering how it would pick up people
So it mounts the same way as the rest of the Ring Doorbells? I have an issue with the doorbell making contact with the contact plates and recognizing that it’s wired.
Just received mine but I don’t have a ring bell so I need to buy a plug in adapter . I’m curious if the plug in adapter for ring video doorbell pro (1st generation) will work on this ring doorbell wired .
I’m currently installing the Ring system piece by piece. I’m leery of a camera inside the house concerning privacy issues and the camera being on constantly. Can a camera be “off” and only activated when I get an alert of movement? I’m also installing one of these doorbells in the front. Thanks.

Just don’t let the two wires touch. 😃 I’ve installed them before without breaker off. I know that’s bad advice but it is an option if you’re very careful.
No. It won’t work with your chime in your house but it’ll ring your phone and any other phone connected with the app. You can also have it ring Amazon echos.
@@DIYReid if only I could send a pic in this comment. It is the default zone which covers my street, lawn and driveway. It doesn't notify me when cars or persons drive by. Even If they walk on my lawn it doesn't notify me
Im confused. My battery powered ring that is hardwired dies. If the hardwire is not enough power then how does this thing stay working for months with no battery?
I’m not sure if wiring up your battery ring doorbell charges the battery. Depends on model I’m sure. This does not have a battery and the 16-24 VAC from the doorbell wires power it.
@@DIYReid but that’s what I’m getting at. My battery dies because the 16-24 isn’t enough to get the job done. I don’t even record very much. So if it has to tap into the battery and this one doesn’t have a battery then how does it staying working
@@DIYReid but it has power. Just like a cell phone with battery that is plugged in. You could use a plugged in cell one for a long time without the battery dieing. Just find it hard to believe this 60 dollar ring would always be powered with no battery back up.
@@DIYReid Existing house doorbell chime. I don't want just the phone to ring and I don't want to buy Ring's plugin speaker thing. It's unclear how many of these devices will ring your existing chime, even when I talk to Ring tech support, sigh.
@@DIYReid Some people have said they didn't add the jumper, and their existing chime still works with this model. I don't know why Ring makes this so difficult. Even their tech support doesn't fully know the answer.

this may seem silly but would this work in an apartment if i don’t having wiring for a typical doorbell ?? or would the doorbell feature not work !?
You could do it. You’d need to get the plug-in adaptor and get the wire into the apartment. I’m not sure you are good with mounting something outside an apartment. You can buy a chime for it or just use your phone.
Hey man. 7:07 is BRILLIANT. We have been fiddling with this thing for ages. Why the instructions couldn’t say “push the button” is beyond me

I really like it for the price and features.
Got this with a chime and a corner kit all three for 100$. Very budget friendly ring camera with the subscription isn’t bad. Thanks for the review!!
Thanks! I was trying to remove the cover doing the same thing you were!
Haha I feel like an idiot

Thanks for watching and the support. I felt like an idiot when I tried. I had a brain fart even having owned many Ring products.
Just bought it for my rents. Hopefully it will look good 👌
Thank you!!!
We could not figure it out.
So stupid but simple. Haha
My simple question is
Does door bell unit work on 10-24 volts
AC or DC
Good video, just thinking of getting the wired but, my dilemma is that when your facing the door the bell is to the left, just wondering how it would pick up people
You need a 90° wedge
Thanks for the video. I needed to figure out how to open the ring.
What do you mean?
Which one would I have to buy to work with my door chime?
So it mounts the same way as the rest of the Ring Doorbells? I have an issue with the doorbell making contact with the contact plates and recognizing that it’s wired.
This one you screw the wires to the mounting points. There contact making like what I’m thinking you’re talking about.
@@DIYReid Can U Stop Senting Comments To People Please. Thank You!
Thanks for the great video!
Can you only use one phone/app to get notifications? Or could we setup multiple devices to get notifications?
You can share the app. In the app go to share and it’ll allow you to share it to another persons account.
@@DIYReid thank you so much!

If it’s off how will it know there’s movement?
@@DIYReid the sensors inside and door alerts would pick up the movement.
@@captainskippy6622 the sensor uses the camera
Wow - outstanding video. Thanks so much for the thorough review!
Thank you for the kind words. It’s people like you that make this worth it. Thanks for watching.
What type of plug in transformer did u use?
This one from Ring - amzn.to/3qh6ISy
As hilarious as this is I thank you! I couldn’t get the face plate off for ish! Lol! Thanks!
Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself.
THERMAL PROTECTED
5 VA
10 V
NUTONE SCOVILLe
515-N
These are the specs on my doorbell transformer. Would it be compatible?
It is an older model, probably from the 1980’s.
Does it work without the Wi-Fi connection?
No
is it water proof rated, can be installed out door. please advise.
Yes
Its SmartThings compatible?
Is motion zones a premium feature that needs a subscription? I’d love to know all the features you lose once the free trail ends
That’s a good question. I want to say that is not tied to the subscription because the subscription is mainly for the recordings on the cloud.
Which breaker switch did you shut off for install?
Mine was labeled door bell.
Okay dang i am renting the landlord allows them but not sure which to kill and don't want to blow out all of them then have a uttt ohhh happen
Just don’t let the two wires touch. 😃 I’ve installed them before without breaker off. I know that’s bad advice but it is an option if you’re very careful.
@@DIYReid okay great that is what i read i wouldn't let them touch be super careful
Thank you! Just what I needed to know!
Glad I could help.
Do I need a chime to make this work?
No. It won’t work with your chime in your house but it’ll ring your phone and any other phone connected with the app. You can also have it ring Amazon echos.
Hey, how did you install the ring wired for your backdoor?
I mean, I thought it requires wires similar to the front door?
I bought the wired that allow you to plug into an outlet. I linked it in the description for you take a look.
Thanks for the video I just bought one and I’m getting ready to hook it up 👍
Nice price and great features.
My zone only picks up motion immediately in front the camera, and not 3ft away
What do your motion settings look like?
@@DIYReid if only I could send a pic in this comment. It is the default zone which covers my street, lawn and driveway. It doesn't notify me when cars or persons drive by. Even If they walk on my lawn it doesn't notify me
My email is in the description, or Twitter, Instagram.
Does it send you motion notifications to your phone?
Yes it does.
@@DIYReid do I need to do a subscription? I have it and installed it myself but does not notify me when there is motion.
@maggieortiz0808 no subscription is needed for notification. Only for saved recordings.
@@DIYReid can you help me? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I checked the settings and I have motion setting on

What I’m saying is I don’t know that yours actually charges your battery. Therefor your battery dies.
@@DIYReid but it has power. Just like a cell phone with battery that is plugged in. You could use a plugged in cell one for a long time without the battery dieing. Just find it hard to believe this 60 dollar ring would always be powered with no battery back up.
@@jk71687 I have a Ring Pro I have had wired to my house for 5 years now. It doesn't use a battery and has more features than this doorbell.
Great Video... works great and a good price point
Probably one of the best priced/feature doorbell out there.
U Need Buy Amazon Echo 1st Generation White And Alexa Will Say Motion Detected At Your Front Door!
Yes. You could do that too.
@@DIYReid No. You Buy Your Own Self!
I don’t need one.
@@DIYReid Never Mind You Need Buy Echo 4th Generation Red. Alexa Will Said Motion Detected At Your Front Door Cam?
@@jadamioncole1873 you're so aggressive for no reason-
When I install it spins a blue light it never turns white
I’d perform a hard reset.
Thx for not showing how to install but only you to have the more expensive ring pro witch is better we get that now 😑
I was told this can use your existing doorbell. Definitely not true?
What do you mean existing doorbell?
@@DIYReid Existing house doorbell chime. I don't want just the phone to ring and I don't want to buy Ring's plugin speaker thing. It's unclear how many of these devices will ring your existing chime, even when I talk to Ring tech support, sigh.
That makes sense now. With this model you can’t use your existing chime. You can use an Amazon Alexa device to tell you motion or doorbell press.
@@DIYReid Some people have said they didn't add the jumper, and their existing chime still works with this model. I don't know why Ring makes this so difficult. Even their tech support doesn't fully know the answer.
Interesting. They don’t advertise it as working. They in fact say it doesn’t.
What if I don’t have wires at my house
You can buy their outlet plug in - amzn.to/3xViTJH
Get to the point on how to install please.
Can u still talk through it.
Yes
Mine only lasted 3 weeks . 👎
Wow, these came down, WAY down in price to $51.34
This is just the bare bones wired one. Still a great doorbell though.
The video quality on mine is trash
For me it was $50
It’s pretty cheap price.
Mmm

It’s $60 not $250
Right. The Ring Pro was $250

Yes!!!!
This video was a waste of time. Install it. Do something other than talking.
absolute bargain.
For sure
