You guys might want to take a look at the personal security implications of the Ring line-up. Things like the police being able to take information from them from Amazon without a warrant. Just saying...
Great company providing all the tools and gear, I was still chasing walls by hand and drilling through brick walls with 18v dewalt non sds, till about 3 years ago and went on my own was q nightmare
As a start up electrical company I adore your content and videos. I always learn something from the five star electricians ! Thank you this was another great video
Great video guys! One thing I'd like to point out is that buying an Echo Dot is much more worth the money instead of a Chime (if the Chime isn't already included in the deal). They are often offered with a discount and can do a lot more things.
I have got to agree we use Echo dots instead of a chime, I have one in the garage so every time the camera is triggered Alexa chirps out “motion detected at the front door” and any scrote approaching knows he has been spotted. Echo Shows are also useful for seeing and communicating who is at your door saves hunting round for your phone.
I love all the sounds - mine had the update with the Halloween sounds too!! I like how you can get the doorbell to say “sorry I’m not interested” after 20 seconds of not answering :-)
Really nice and well explained - another excellent video. Keep up guys. I had a similar installation recently to my property. I installed an 16v door bell so I had to use a transformer. I did my research, I bought all the parts, I did all the planning of the installation but I called a certified electrician to do it for me. Despite being really into all DIY and that, I never mess around with electricity and especially when it has to do with the fuse box.
Just an armchair suggestion, you might consider squirting a little bit of dielectric / silicon grease in the wire nuts to coat the wires so they won't corrode over time. I know your in an extremely dry climate there. 😁😁 Similar to the underground lawn sprinkler valve connectors that are already filled with them. Every little bit helps when its exposed to the rain over time.
Well done - excellent explanation - as an electrician myself I would not have messed up the cove for the transformer's enclosure - I would have drilled a 20mm clearance hole through the side of both enclosures - each to their own - great work.
Yes, fit a ring a system and protect your van and property for peace of mind. Whilst fast asleep during the night or away from your mobile which you left on the table whilst working in someone's loft, your van gets emptied. You check your video footage (assuming you pay the subscription to back it up to the cloud) and there they are, captured in high definition wearing face coverings/masks etc. Problem solved, worth every penny.
I have Ring products and have for many years, one big criticism I have and it's worth other people being aware of is that they are vulnerable to Wi-Fi jammers, so if someone is jamming the Wi-Fi signal it won't detect anything and will not notify you... I've experienced this myself, a neighbour had an attempted break in and both mine and my next door neighbours front doorbells didn't get any footage from the doorbell, despite them being within range, what did capture them however was our drive way ring camera, which must have been just out of range of the jammer
Exactly. I bet it's really frustrating watching a thief break into your van live in 4k UHD and there's nothing you can do about it because you're in the Bahamas.

Did you know that a family in the UK who have one of these ring doorbells has just lost a case in court? A neibour claimed that the ring doorbell was an invasion of their privacy as it picked them up as they left their home or walked past the house. This is a concerning development as it could lead to the scrapping of the law relating to no presumption to privacy in public. On another note the screw drivers are useless as they are not magnetic which means that it's very easy to loose the bottom mounted screws.
You can get a ring plug in transformer too if there's a plug socket near the entrance. Just wish they doubled it up as a ring chime too, wouldve been neat
Not sure I would use the pigtails and wire nuts on the doorbell. I typically would crimp spade lugs on the twinlead from the transformer. Fewer connections means higher reliability IMO.
With some help and a ton of equipment,easy! I settled for a speaker doorbell,just a few minutes to install,and done! Companies try to talk me into one of these,but they don't mention the cost or the work involved. Educational watching you two though.
Nice job! Just a question; The previous Ring doorbells were low voltage ac powered, I see that they have now gone to 24v dc. I didn’t see any visible polarity marks on the back of the doorbell?
For DIY install, mount the transformer box near a 13A socket, add in a grommet and cable to plug and the entire install becomes an appliance. Not forgetting there seems to be a thriving market in stolen ring doorbells. It is a shame when the security device itself becomes the target for theft.
Next door looks to have a lovely black armoured cable down the front of their house! Maybe you could offer to do a bit of angle drilling to find a better route (for a small fee!!)
Great video as usual. Only problem for me was that my Alsatian always barks when she hears the default ring tone on my ring door bell. You guessed it, every time you sounded that default tone she was barking and running to my front door. One very confused dog here. Funny to watch.
Interesting regarding the legal event on the recent judgment made on the ring door bell and the case being won. The case involved claims for harassment, breach of data protection, and nuisance. worth looking into regarding fitting them and discussing with neighbours that live close to one another to avoid any problems in the future.
UK version of Ring Pro 2 door bell doesn't come with all the features and also no transformer in the packaging. Only the US version comes with transformer and full features.
High court case ruling today if you video anyone in a public area on the road outside your property it is now an offence and you could end up with a fine. The judge has awarded 100k to a couple who complained and the ring video door bell owner fought them in the high court and lost.
@@paulmoor3799 no it was because it was recording Private property without concent. There is a bs standard that covers it. If you cant not record the area you are supposed to use a filter mask to blur out the area. And the same with audio. It that case it was the audio recording the judge was really not happy with. Or just let them know and see if they mind.
@ 2:20 I assume it is called a 'Pro' doorbell because they are designed for 'Pro Consumers'... Ring literally sell a separate transformer for their wired doorbells which allow you to power them via a standard 3 pin plug socket. So technically there is no need for an electrician for this install. As long as you are confident with a drill and are capable of plugging a device into a socket then I'd say you're good to go with the install yourself.
New question, rather than adding to the wiring circuit and needing a minor works certificate, can I remove the old doorbell transformer and bell from the wall, use the existing load wires to power the included transformer and wire the ring camera that way, so it's more like an upgrade rather than an additional installation, which won't need a minor installation certificate?
The wire is not unter the tiles, its in the roof cavity, he removed the tiles made a hole in the membrane and then fished down into the wall cavity... then ran the wire through the roof cavity (roofer would not find it until they removed the tiles,batons and membrane, they would then see it in the roof cavity, very normal), he probably then patched the membrane with tape and put the tiles back on.
When you think it's called Pro because it needs a "pro" to install it. Apart from the transformer that comes with it and some additional features it's exactly the same as the regular ring door Bell. Both have batteries both can be hard wired. Any doorbell transformer is compatible.
Good video but seems to be a lot of work for a video door bell. To be honest I think fitting a 4K cctv dome camera under the soffit back to an NVR/ DVR would be preferable and no subscription costs involved.
just a quick question, it's a DC voltage applied to the doorbell but the terminals aren't marked + - and the cables they provide are both black, do you see where i'm going with this?
@@front2427That question had been bugging me too. The Ring information that I have seen says that if you are making use of an existing transformer present in a door bell system, the output must be within certain AC voltage (RMS) and VA range. However, their own plug in power adapter is 24V DC 🙄. As you say, no apparent polarity on the camera/wires. For clarity, the DIN rail item appears to be a transformer/Rectifier.
Remember Ring is A US company they are big on Halloween hence all the trick or treat type chimes for the kids at Halloween going round ringing doorbells.
£100.000 uk fine for ring doorbell looking into public and private locations in uk Smart devices are ignoring data protection audio has never been legal in the uk
I have the ring pro 2 also. It's showing offline as of recently and is showing as 4v and says the transformer is not supplying enough power. What would be the problem?
Ring has its own transformer cases that look much better than that metal thing. Could you not have just spurred from the porch lights, since you were using that circuit anyway and saved yourself extra wires in the consumer unit + having to do a minor works certificate?

do i need to charge/replace the battery? or the wired keeps it fully charged?
Plot twist, Jordan’s fitted the door bell to make sure Lee’s not having any early finishes so he can check up when he starts and finishes work 😂👌🏻
Thats why he set it up on Jordans phone I noticed that. No 2pm finishes for him anymore 😢
Facts lol
Ok, so after watching the video 5 times 😮 tackled mine today and went an absolute treat thanks to this very detailed video, thank you very much!!
I like the way they cut a hole in the felt in say the FOUND the access hole to cavity LOL 😂 🤣 🤣
Never seen a company look after their employees like Jordan does. I’m lucky to get a new pair of knee pads from my boss lol
Thanks
Great company providing all the tools and gear, I was still chasing walls by hand and drilling through brick walls with 18v dewalt non sds, till about 3 years ago and went on my own was q nightmare
Pretty sure this was provided free by Ring.
Lee is so lucky to learn from you, knowing that he is being taught how to do things properly.
Taking cables down cavitys....yeah hes really taught him well 🤣🤣🤣

More to that than just the door bell, neighbour has exactly the same door bell but wasn't invited to court..

That Duramark ChalkShot is a handy little guy. Nice one.
Not sure I would use the pigtails and wire nuts on the doorbell.
I typically would crimp spade lugs on the twinlead from the transformer.
Fewer connections means higher reliability IMO.
Quite. why do they not just supply the spade crimps for the "pro" installer to attach directly to the cable.
Me too... introducing potential dry joints / resistance, a no no IMO
Ok this bothered me too.
I've been using the WYZE video doorbell for a fraction of the price, bought a din rail transformer of eBay for about £15.

Looks like Ring have been sending these out to CZcams electricians. 2nd one I have seen this week
Everyone of them forget to mention the monthly costs if you want to make it actually useful.

Great video.
But can't you wire up a spring loaded boxing glove in the van in case someone breaks in.
Remember to duck when opening the van yourself 😂

A good way to DIY it is to run the transformer to a 3way plug. No issues there will the fuse board 😀

That's cool, it's themed chimes for the season, Halloween it is for now 🎃👻 try it again at Christmas
I am looking for the transformer and the enclosure. Where can i get it?
Question, does the cable material and insulation's not react with eachother? or can you run cables in cavities for door bells and exterior lights?
Are there any regs (Building or Electrical) covering the routing of cables under the tiles? Not something your roofer would expect.
The wire is not unter the tiles, its in the roof cavity, he removed the tiles made a hole in the membrane and then fished down into the wall cavity... then ran the wire through the roof cavity (roofer would not find it until they removed the tiles,batons and membrane, they would then see it in the roof cavity, very normal), he probably then patched the membrane with tape and put the tiles back on.
