VIDEO DOORBELL Setup and Installation Guide
Step 1 Download the Ring app The Ring app will walk you through the process outlined in this manual, but in case you like reading small print we’ve also included this manual. Visit: ring.com/app Visit the online setup guide for extra help We have an online guide with videos and tutorials all about setting up and using your Ring Video Doorbell. Visit: ring.
Step 2 Say “Hello” to the back of your Ring Doorbell Setup Button – The orange button is the setup button. You’ll be instructed to push it during the in-app setup. Charging Port – If you’re not wiring your Ring Doorbell, you’ll need to charge it periodically by plugging the provided orange cable into the charging port. For more, visit: ring.
Step 3 Perform the in-app setup The Ring app will walk you through this process. Download the Ring app by visiting ring.com/app Select the plus sign in the Ring app to set up a new device, and when prompted, select Video Doorbell. Perform setup inside near your router. You’ll need your network name and Wi-Fi password.
Step 4 Push the Front Button to Run a Test After setup, push the front button on your Ring Doorbell indoors near your router to see video from your Ring Doorbell in the Ring app. Then test your Ring Doorbell outside. If video quality from your Ring Doorbell is not as good outdoors as it was indoors, you may need to move your router closer to your door, or invest in an extender. Learn more at: ring.
Step 5 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 you notice a diode when you remove your wired doorbell, take note of this as it means you will need to use the included diode.
Step 6 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’ll be installing your Ring Doorbell. Mounting bracket Snap the provided level onto the mounting bracket and use it to help position the bracket. Then remove the orange tape, and use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the four corner holes.
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 into your wall. If you have a smaller drill bit, it may help to use this bit to drill pilot holes.
Installing the Mounting Bracket (continued) Use the phillips head side of the Ring screwdriver for screwing in your mounting bracket.
Installing the Mounting Bracket (continued) Drive the screws into the anchors, or directly into your wall until they are flush with the mounting bracket, and the bracket is flat against your wall. If your wall is not completely flat, be careful not to screw the bracket in so tightly that it bends.
Step 7 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 12 If your doorbell is digital (ie: plays a melody), attach the included diode to the two screws on your bracket. If your doorbell is mechanical (ie: 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. Learn more at ring.
Step 8 Attach Your 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. First make sure the security screws are loose.
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.
