Wiring or detailed installation checks
Original Wired: verify the specified 10–24 VAC transformer or compatible Ring adapter, not arbitrary DC power. Hardwiring requires breaker isolation and disables the existing chime. Use a licensed electrician if inexperienced or unsure, and follow local requirements.
Setup checks & conditions
First setup check
Original Wired model: verify compatible power before buying. Hardwiring bypasses the existing chime; use a licensed electrician if inexperienced or unsure.
This is not a newer 2K or Pro model. The existing chime and power arrangement require separate checks.
- Original Video Doorbell Wired: check the transformer and exact regional manual before buying. Ring's US hardwiring guidance specifies 10-24 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 8-40 VA. A compatible Ring Plug-In Adapter is an alternative sold separately; do not assume an arbitrary DC supply is suitable.
- For hardwiring, disconnect power at the breaker before touching wires. Use a licensed electrician if inexperienced or unsure; local requirements may also require professional installation. With an existing in-home chime, the required jumper bypasses and disables that chime.
- Plan the mounting surface and cable route, use the supplied mounting and security screws in their designated positions, and follow the Ring app setup. These checks apply to the original Wired model, not newer 2K or Pro models; this is not a step-by-step electrical installation guide.
