Step Three: Install and Setup the Ring Chime (Optional) The instructions guide you through this process, but more likely than not, you would probably have to re-route those wires in order to hook them up to the Ring Doorbell, which isn’t exactly easy, but it’s at least an option. Granted, all they need is a Torx screwdriver, but luckily Ring will replace any stolen Ring Doorbell for free.Īfter that, it’s good to go and you can now begin to use your Ring Doorbell.Īlternatively, you can install the Ring Doorbell by taking the wiring from your traditional doorbell and hooking it up to the Ring so that your existing doorbell chime will sound whenever the button is pressed. This prevents people from just taking off the Ring Doorbell unit willy nilly. The small hooks on the plate (pictured below) are what the unit latches to, so place the Ring Doorbell device on the mounting plate and press down to clip the unit in place.Īfter that, take the included Torx screwdriver bit and drive in the two security screws on the bottom of the device. Next, take your Ring Doorbell unit and line it up with the mounting plate. Be sure to remove the orange leveler from the mounting plate. If you just a have a wood or vinyl exterior, just use a simple small drill bit if you have one.Īttach the plate to the wall using the provided screws using your power drill. If you have a concrete or brick wall, use the included drill bit to make your pilot holes and hammer in the included wall anchors before you drive in the screws. Be sure to hold the mounting plate steady and try not to move it around while you do this. Use the included leveler to make it level.įrom there, drill four pilot holes with a power drill where the four screws will go. Then, take the mounting plate and hold it on the wall where you want your Ring Doorbell to go.
Start by removing the orange stickers covering the mounting plate. Luckily, this process is pretty easy and doesn’t require any wiring (unless you want it to). However, it still needs mounted outside next to your front door. Tapping on your Ring Doorbell unit at the top will display different settings and options that you can play around with to customize your Ring Doorbell, including customizing alerts, adding shared users, and changing the motion settings.Īfter the Ring Doorbell is all set up, you can start using it to receive alerts and record video. You can filter them by only showing recorded events when someone pushed the doorbell button, or when motion was detected. After that, your Ring Doorbell will be all set up and you’ll be taken to the main screen where all of your recordings will appear.
