Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. czcams.com/users/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime.

If you have a prime chime doorbell you don’t have to use the power kit and all that with the Ring or worry about having the right transformer. Makes everything way easier.
Is my existing, mechanical chime supposed to ring when pressing the Pro 2 doorbell button? Because mine doesn't. Everything else seems to be working though.
Thank you. The instructions with all these Ring products are pretty lame. I installed the whole house security system and decided to add the doorbell even though I have a front of house free-standing camera. This video made it so much easier to install.
@@OneHourSmartHomewe’re you using VS 3 of the power adapter in this video? Trying to figure out how to bypass my mechanical doorbell chime and use the Ring Chime Pro by itself? Do you know how too
Great video. Is this worth spending more money on over the Ring Doorbell Wired? I am doing a full renovation of my house, so I will put new wiring from the electrical transformer to the front door and use a Ring Chime. I don't have an existing old-school chime in my house.
@@mikesando7766 Works like a charm! I bought the Ring transformer that converts my 230V power into 12V (I think) and had the electrician hook everything up inside my fuse box. Works really well, so nice that i dont have to worry about charging any batteries and the video quality is more than sufficient for me. Edit: Forgot which video this was connected to. I bought the Doorbell Wired version, and am really happy with the cheaper option
You should install that ring power “adapter” first and then the doorbell. That protects the doorbell from voltage spikes. Otherwise you risk damaging your ring camera before you even get it installed.
Well the first thing you're supposed to do is flip the breaker. So you shouldn't be getting a spike through the line if you flip the brake or on the doorbell.
Robert is right. The Pro Power Kit ensures that your Ring video doorbell gets the power it needs and Must be installed before you install your video doorbell. I just followed the video and the doorbell worked at first. (FYI i flipped the breaker and switched it back on). After I installed the adapter it is no longer working. So now I'm guessing it's fried
Surprised nobody responded to you but for future installers with the same question, no you do not need the power adaptor unless your voltage is below the threshold of 16v after testing.
@@42Slab NOT TRUE. I actually read your reply before installing and my ring pro 2, it was getting hot and wouldn't connect and acting all weird. I called tech support. Told them I had 16 A/C volts at the door bell, they said it doesn't matter you have to use the power adapter. Hooked it up and it connected right away and didn't get hot anymore. Use it!!
I see on your video to check transformer voltage, you show yours is 11.48 (looks like the exact door and doorbell). Then this video you state that your transformer is sufficient for the 16-24 requirement for the ring pro 2. Did you upgrade the transformer or are you using the 11.48 transformer for this pro 2?
Let me clarify my question. There is AC wiring for a doorbell, but the previous owners installed a battery operated one. So, my questions about the white wires and what to do with them.
Great video. You measured 11V in your linked video with the multimeter, but the Ring Pro 2 you identified is a min of 16V. Your ring pro 2 works on 11V? How does it work at night in the dark?
After installing the Pro 2. I accidentally passed the selection option of my mechanical chimes check. Now, the mechanical chime in the house does not work. Any suggestion? THanks
My doorbell had power but couldn't connect to my internet. The suggestion was the router was too far away from the doorbell although it's only about 25 feet. Also the original wired doorbell chime didn't work. Is this related to the failure of the doorbell to connect to the internet?
Can i ask for working with existing chime for the Pro2 if it sounds your existing chime in the house when the buttons pressed on the Ring. I keep seeing yes and no on google, so im unsure if need to buy a chime or if the doorbell will sound in house as normal before installation. Thanks
^ Do you have to install the power adaptor? I have an OG Ring, that we never used a power adaptor. We installed the ring replacing our old ring but it says transformer voltage poor and power input 3.
Hello, I bought 2 ring doorbells, one for the front door and the other for the back door. The one in front is installed without problem and the one behind cannot install, the ring instead of the light going around in circles it flashes rather it means there is a problem. Can you help me please
The Ring Pro 2 requires 16-24V AC. If your transformer puts out 16V - 10VA it may work however typically 16V 30VA is recommended like this transformer: amzn.to/33NlY0r The purpose of the power adapter/booster installed in the chime is to provide a reliable power supply / boost for the Ring Pro 2 because it uses more power than the typical battery powered Ring Doorbells like the Ring 4 Doorbell: amzn.to/3fnyzNh. If you have 10va it may work, but if you are worried it will not work and you don't want to replace the doorbell transformer the Ring 4 would work in that situation, however the Ring 4 video quality is not as good as the Ring Pro 2 Doorbell video quality. I just posted a review on the Ring 4 today: czcams.com/video/CrS8Rn68zzM/video.html
After installing the power kit, the Ring Pro 2 works but the health says the voltage is poor. I measured 9.8v at the doorbell. If the powerpack is working, should I be measuring around 16v at the doorbell? Thanks.
I hooked up the ring doorbell, and turned the power back on. I heard the doorbell speak. Then, I had to turn the power back off because I forgot to install the power adapter. I did that, and now I have no power to doorbell and none in the lines that go to the chime. Did I just fry everything?
Recently installed the Ring video doorbell pro 2. We love it, but having issues with the transformer voltage reading in the Device Heath tab on the app. The pro 2 needs 16-24 volts and according to the Ring app, the voltage is around 16 which is good, but at times it drops to 15 volts and then I get a "poor" reading in the Device Health tab. Ring told me I probably needed a new transformer, however none of us can find it. My question is, if the voltage drops to 15 periodically, it that ok? If not, sounds like I'll need a totally different doorbell since we cannot locate the transformer. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!
With my porch light on, and HDR set to off, I get full color recording at night. But if I set HDR to on, with porch light on, it records in black & white only. Anyone else having this issue with the pro 2 doorbell??
Anybody able to please assist? What if I only have a doorbell transformer? It only has two prongs that have screws. How do I know which is "trans" or "front" (assuming I am supposed to install the ring power adapter to it)? Or is there no specific orientation, just as long as the power adapters prongs are mounted to each transformer prong? LoL not sure if I'm using the correct terminology. Issue was we have a Video Doorbell V4 which does not stand a chance in Canadian weather... Have to go with the Video Doorbell Pro 2 now.
I am in South America and we use 220v. Currently my doorbell has a transformer with the following specs: input: 220Vac ~ 0.55A - 50Hz. Output: 12Vcc -1.5A, Max 18w. Can you confirm if the Video Doorbell Pro 2 will work? Thank you!!

This video is much better than the paper instructions! Thank you so much!
Really good video. Super precise and clear instructions. Thanks for the help!
Excellent instructions, very clear voice. thank you for the assistants
You make very good clear a straight video. Even people like me who are not expert i understood all the instructions. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much for this, I would have probably hired someone to do this for me if I hadn’t seen your video.
Hold on plot twist😂😂 😂.what this extra stuff in the box
Needed just a bit of guidance on installing the chime transformer. Rock solid. Thank you!
I appreciate your installation video. I just got mine and am ready to install it myself.
Great video. You spoke very clear. I love how you went through all the steps needed.
Your instructions are so much better then the app itself! Wish they made a wireless version of this!
Is already in the market wireless ring
i have never had such a clear tutorial as these. Thank you. Really precise and so easy too follow step by step.
Warning: DO NOT attempt to drink a shot every time he says "go ahead" or you WILL get alcohol poisoning or liver disease. 😅

I had to try way to many videos before finding this and getting clear instructions on how to remove faceplate. Thank you.
Not sure if you're an instructor by profession . But this is a high quality video.
Thanks for the video. It really helped my installation go smoothly.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!

@@thischildishlifestyle Nope. If I work up the energy, I'll call Ring and post their response here.
OK thank you. I'll do the same.
I just installed me ring pro 1 . The mechanical chime rings about 1 second after pressing the ring pro button

Do you still have to upgrade your transformer even when you have fitted a ring power adapter.
Excellent instructions. Thanks so much!
Great step by step instructions. Thanks
What is the purpose of that little battery being connected to the doorbell chime transformer???
Do you have to install the ring power adapter? would it still work okay with out it? i have no intention on using the existing chime
