How to install Ring doorbell?
0Here's how to install Ring doorbell.
i. Not all Ring doorbells require wiring. There are two main types of Ring doorbells: wired and battery-powered.
**Wired Ring doorbells** require a wired doorbell chime and a transformer that provides between 8 and 24 volts of AC power. The wired doorbell is connected to the transformer and the chime, and then the wires are run from the doorbell to the transformer and chime.
**Battery-powered Ring doorbells** do not require any wiring. They are powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 6 months on a single charge. The battery-powered doorbell is simply mounted to the wall and connected to your Wi-Fi network.
If you have an existing doorbell chime and transformer, you can install a wired Ring doorbell. If you do not have an existing doorbell chime or transformer, you can install a battery-powered Ring doorbell.
ii. Installing a wireless Ring doorbell is a relatively simple process that can be completed in about 30 minutes. Here are the steps involved:
