Ring Video Doorbell

Powering Your Ring

Charge your Ring Doorbell before installation using the supplied orange cable.
While charging, the circular light on the front of your Ring will let you know the percentage it’s charged.

If you have an existing doorbell Ring can run off its existing power supply for a continuous charge (see step 6). NOTE: Ring is not compatible with most intercom systems.

If you don’t have an existing doorbell Ring can run off its built-in battery and last 6-12 months between charges. If you receive frequent motion events, you may need to charge your Ring more frequently.

Getting Ready for Setup

Say “Hello” to the back of your Ring Doorbell

Setup Button – You’ll be instructed to push the orange setup button during the in-app setup (see step 3).

While in setup mode, the light on the front of your Ring Doorbell will spin.
Charging Port – Plug the orange cable into the charging port to charge your Ring Doorbell.

Step 1

Download the Ring app

The Ring app will walk you through the entire installation process, but if you prefer to reference a hard copy, use this manual.

Step 2

Perform the in-app setup

The Ring app will walk you through this process. Download the Ring app by visiting ring.com/app 

Tap the plus sign in the Ring app to set up a new device, and select Video Doorbell when prompted.

Perform in-app setup near your router. You’ll need your network name and Wi-Fi password..

Step 3

Push the front button to test the video
While inside near your router, push the button on the front of your doorbell to see live video in the Ring app. Then, perform this same test while outside.

If video quality is not as good outdoors as it was indoors, you may need to move your router closer to your door or invest in a Wi-Fi extender.

Step 4

Remove your existing doorbell (optional)
If you’re replacing a wired doorbell, first turn off the power at the breaker. Then, remove your doorbell from the wall, and disconnect the wires.
If your existing doorbell has a diode, you’ll need to use the diode included with your Ring Doorbell for installation.

Step 5

Install the mounting bracket

Take everything that came in the box (along with a power drill if you’re installing on stucco, brick or concrete), to the spot where you’re installing your Ring Doorbell.

Snap the provided level onto the mounting bracket, and align the bracket accordingly.

Then, remove the orange tape, and use the mounting bracket as a template to mark four corner holes for your screws.

Installing the mounting bracket (continued)

On stucco, brick or concrete, install the anchors using the provided drill bit and a power drill before installing the mounting bracket.

On wood or siding, you can skip this part and screw the bracket directly onto your wall.

If you have one, it may help to use a smaller drill bit to drill pilot holes first.

Installing the mounting bracket (continued)

Drive the screws into the anchors or directly into the wall until they’re flush with the mounting bracket and the bracket is flat against the wall.

If the wall isn’t flat, make sure you don’t screw the bracket in so tightly that it bends.

Step 6

Connect the wires (optional)

Connect the wires coming out of your wall to the screws on the bracket. Note that it doesn’t matter which wire connects to which screw.

The wiring must be connected to a transformer with a voltage of 8VAC – 24VAC and an internal doorbell or resistor.

DC transformers and (therefore) most intercoms are not supported.

How and when to use the diode

If your doorbell is digital (i.e. plays a melody), attach the included diode to the two screws on your bracket.
If it’s mechanical (i.e. goes “ding-dong”), DO NOT use the diode.

If you have a digital doorbell, connecting the diode the wrong way won’t do any harm. If your doorbell doesn’t ring, just reverse the diode.

Step 7

Attach Ring Doorbell to the bracket

Line up the holes in your Ring Doorbell with the slots on the bracket. Push firmly towards the wall and then down until you feel a click.

Step 8

Secure your Ring Doorbell

Use the star-shaped end of your Ring screwdriver to tighten the security screws on the bottom of your Ring Doorbell.

Then, restore power at the breaker.
