How To Replace a Wired Doorbell with Ring Video Doorbell | DiY Install

In this video, I show you how to install a Ring Video Doorbell! I do a doorbell unboxing and show you everything that it comes with; the doorbell itself, the bracket to hold the doorbell, an installation tool kit, instruction manual(but this video will be your instructions!), and a charger for the doorbell. This is very easy and you can definitely do it yourself! I am not sponsored by Ring, this is just a video I made on my own to show you how to install one.

Hey everyone, since some people have been asking... You only have to remove the Ring to charge it if you do not hook it up to an existing doorbell. I’m sorry I should have clarified that. So to be clear if you do not hook it up to existing wiring you need to remove and charge, otherwise the doorbell wires will charge it if you have it hooked up.

Also, doorbell wires are low voltage, they can not shock you and all that happens when you touch them together is the doorbell goes off. If it makes you feel better you can shut off the power in your panel but is not necessary.


Thanks for watching! 😃

I got a ring doorbell today and instead of reading the instructions I came directly to this video

[Chisolm]

One of the better installation videos I’ve seen. Clear and to the point.

[donnahanna]

Thank you! I’m growing old waiting for my husband to install this!!! Doing it myself now.

[MichaelGregorash]

Good solid step-by-step instructions (Nice to know that even if the doorbell is lower, it still captures the video up well enough). Thanks for putting this together, I appreciate it!

[msmichele-chooseJOY]

This was so helpful. It took me no time at all to install my doorbell. Thank you!

I’m 4 years late but I just got a ring doorbell and this video is much appreciated. You gained a subscriber over here. Thank you!

I just picked up a ring doorbell from Home Depot. Thank you very much your tips were very helpful.

For anyone worried about not turning the breaker off before installing. Don’t worry, unless your doorbell is supplying over 100 volts (which it won’t lol). I’m an HVAC tech and 12-24 volts won’t harm you or your Ring.

Awesome video. You did it where a woman like myself can do it. I appreciate simplicity. Thank you

[tarajordan]

Thank you so much I’ve had my Ring for more than 9 months and have yet to install it because I didn’t want to destroy the front of my house but now i feel comfortable enough to do it myself 😊

You did a great job. Better than most instructional videos I've seen

[RickyP]

I am glad you cleared that up about charging first, then hooking up to an existing doorbell to eliminate the need to take it off to recharge. I didn't charge mine up BEFORE installing the first one, annd had to wait hours before I could use it.
Also, if you do not have an existing WIRED doorbell, you can buy a transformer from most home tools shop and either hook it up to an existing 120 volt source or connect it to and outlet with a plug.

One point to note before installing make sure to CUT POWER OFF from circuit breaker to avoid potential electrocution. Safety first. Besides that good instructional video.

A suggestion, when I ordered my ring doorbell, I went ahead and ordered a second battery. Now, when the battery runs down I just pop off the cover, install the fresh battery and pop the cover back on. Now my bell is always operating and I don't have down time while the other battery charges, which can take a while. Also, if a battery should fail, I'm not completely without my doorbell service while another battery is shipped. It's well worth the extra bucks for the battery and I highly recommend it. :)
Good video, simple and correct.
As for the height of mounting, it has a wide and tall range of view and people will look right at the bell when they go to press it, so you'll have no problem getting a face shot. If they're just coming to door or on porch, you'll still get enough view for an identification should you need it for later. (Cops, etc.)
You can also adjust your field of motion sensitivity to get the best performance for your door.
You didn't mention it but when you put in the first two screws to mount the plate, you went to opposite corners. You seem to understand the principle but to anyone else watching, mounting opposite corners like that ensures that you keep your level reference and helps keep even pressure on the plate so you don't bind it at all. Good demo.

Thanks for the detail step-by-step for those of us who are less handy.

[tamberlinferguson]

[H.pylori]

Thank you for this video. You simplified the process so well that even a klutz like me could possibly do this. Now off to see some of your other videos.

Thank you so much. This video is so much helpful for me.
I've never installed anything in USA so I was nervous.
