4:03 To test for voltage, press the doorbell button. =) Ding Dong means there's voltage. Just saying you don't need a volt meter.

[franksargent]

You really don’t need to turn off the power; not enough voltage to do any harm! If the wires touch, the doorbell rings that’s it, just don’t let them touch continuously.

[hazzardcounty]

Thanks for this, I was really nervous about trying to wire this and it has been sitting in drawer for a month! You made it look easy and I’ll be attempting it in the morning! Thank you!

[overt]

The connection was different on mine. The wires go to the actual camera and not the mount.

[benh]

One thing you have to do is enable the wired setup and agree to terms in order for the wired setup to work. My chime wouldnt work until i did so.

6:46, trim the bare wire to be SHORTER before screwing them on. You don't want so much bare wire that they can short out which is clearly left on here in error. The insulation should continue to just before the screw head is making contact with bare wire.

Why did you put batteries in if it’s hardwired? Will the transformer not power the doorbell?

[kissdigitalmockupdesigns]

Hi Todd! Thank you! You gave me the confidence to install a blink doorbell for my mom :)

[klforrest]

Just joined the Blink family - Door Bell with Sync module 2 along with 1 back outdoor camera - It's was a no brainer to use the wired method - went ahead and bought a new doorbell Chime box for inside (built to use a 16V - 30VA transformer). This is a newer home - installed with a 16V -10VA transformer (in the attic) - others claimed issues with this 10VA transformer - thus I chose to only do this install once so I went with the 30VA. The new house is totally dominated with Alexa devices - so she will be joined in the circle as well.

Yeah my door bell isn't receiving power from my old set up. Transformer issues is what I'm having.

[joseclaudio]

Thank u my guy I watch the video while I set the ring up very easy instructions n talking threw 😅🎉

[Msbrownsugarondeck]

How long does the batteries usually last with out attaching it to a doorbell?

[richieinca]

Where’s the video to see if your doorbell is compatible?

[DonaldDrennan]

I am switching to Blink from another video doorbell. It had a device that I had to wire into my existing doorbell. When I hooked it up without that, the bell buzzed constantly as the video doorbell actually completed the circuit somewhat. Will I have that problem with the Blink?

[philipw]

If you Blink camera is on brick wall and open to elements is it worth putting a clear silicone bead around back of the rear plate???

[dwayneking]

What should the voltage be when it's powered?

[flyingtrashbag]

This video has helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[lylechase]

Hi there when you wire the doorbell does that replace the battery or only allow the chimes to work

[jrflorenanoutpl]

Are those cables 110v? I tired to connect to 110v power bank and it says error e32. Do the bells use another voltage or something?

[mikehunt]

When hardwiring, did you leave the batteries in the doorcam? Might be a silly question but just curious if it was necessary to keep them in for the set up
