Listen my man. A lot of people don't appreciate when someone tries to help other people. Ignore the losers and keep having a good heart. Forget the losers who try to discourage you !

How to power your ring doorbell with no power, sounds awesome! Step 1, find power to supply the doorbell. Thanks, this was helpful!!

[Johntheheadache]

The mastery here is you get straight to the point and you avoid wasting time with annoying music and unnecessary intricacies, There are other videos on how to do this but they are 40 minutes long because the presenter wants to include jokes and introduce his personality and tell us about his kids...Next thing you know I'm just fed up with it and that's how I found your video!
Great job, Thank you!

I went all in, and I got'er done. My Dad called me a showoff, but hey, Mom was happy. If Mom's not happy, no one is happy. Thank you for this video, it sure is helpful. You did a great job explaining every detail, that's what matters. Be safe.

Thanks for doing this video. It’s been close to a year and not having to remove the battery for charging has been a huge win. I did it for my front and back doors.

Good job! We had a finished basement put in and somewhere along the way someone cut the wire to our doorbell. I bought a live wire sniffer that allowed me to find the live wire in the ceiling in the basement just below the doorbell. We cut a small hole in the ceiling connected the two wires beck together and bingo. The sniffer was a bit of an investment but even the electricians who came out were amazed at the accuracy. They had never seen one. They charged a fortune and stole the innerds of my original tubular doorbell and later denied it. It’s worth a lot of money and hard to find. Ended up using an electronic chime. With a little patience and my own sniffer I probably could have done the job. We just placed a small grate over the hole and it looked pristine. Watch out for unscrupulous contractors.

I installed an adapter over 6 months ago and have had no issues. Strongly recommend.

[josephjohnston]

Hey, great video.Thanks for taking the time to make this. I'm sure your wife is happy too and less worrying about the battery..

At first glance, I thought this was a lot of extra work. But if you're only dealing with a wall wart to plug into the wall, this is exactly the way I would do it. However, seeing how that light switch was so close I would've probably cut a box intothe wall next to the switch plate and installed a standard doorbell chime and wired it into the switch wiring. Then your low-voltage wiring could've popped out where the doorbell is. Job done

I have no need for a doorbell camera on my farm door, but I watched the whole video like I needed one.😅 Great job!

[kojam]

Perfect! I didn't have to hire someone to install it for me. It did have to hire a baseboard guy to put them back, and drywallers to fix the holes in my drywall.

[greeny]

Great video. One suggestion though: instead of making that top hole on the inside, just stick the fishing line directly from the outer hole down to that lower hole. You can then attach the wire and pull it directly outside. This will prevent the need for any drywall repair (no need to drill all the way through in the beginning).

[skipwood]

Dean, this is an excellent video. My first time. You are organized and articulate. I will be looking at your other videos, as well. Please continue your protocol.

[NaseerAhmed-sxdk]

Very well explained.
Step by step explanation.
Can not be better than this. 👏

[jasonnames]

There are absolutely better ways to do it than the way he did it. But those of you who have the skill or no better scenarios like I do, you have to consider that he’s doing something that average homeowner could do without too much trades skills involved. As soon as I saw his idea, I was like man they are better ways, butfor someone who may not have skills or doesn’t mind the aesthetic of seeing that wire coming out the back of the plate like that for the plug, it works. I give them credit for coming up with the idea. Maybe a grade C on creativity.

[Laogai]

You’re my life saver. Ignore them trolls this is the simplest instructions that I’ve seen so far. What kind of power adapter is that and is it compatible with all ring doorbells

[karmatingz]

Well done you. Came across you by incident, happy to have found you. Good clear explanation. Lol about the borrowing tools, naughty!! Subscribed, cheers.

[citiboy]

I just did my doorbell, I have a question do I take out the rechargeable batteries? Or do I leave them in? I got my answer at the end of your video. Thank for the help.

[juromebey]

In the instructions for the ring doorbell it says you can connect the wires from your original doorbell to those 2 screws which is what I did and my battery has been on 100% for almost 9 years. That is a good idea for those without a working doorbell in that location.
