I have written about several Amazon and Ring products over the years. However, I have yet to write about the new Ring Hardwire Video Doorbell!
Ring’s newest Video Doorbell features nonstop power since you hardwire it to your existing doorbell wires. After it is installed, you’ll be able to receive real-time notifications directly on your phone. It is also Alexa compatible, so if you have an Echo Show, for example, you can view and communicate with anyone who rings the doorbell — completely hands-free!
Here are the DIY installation instructions:
- Turn off power at the breaker and use the provided jumper cable to connect both terminals in your existing doorbell’s chime
- Outside, disconnect your existing doorbell button
- Connect doorbell wiring to the back of the Ring Hardwire Video Doorbell
- Secure the doorbell to your home, attach your faceplate, and turn power on at the breaker
- Use the Ring App to continue setting it up!
NOTE: this doorbell does NOT sound your existing doorbell chime. To hear audio notifications in your home, pair with a Ring Chime, compatible Alexa device, or select the Video Doorbell Wired + Chime bundle.
