The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is the company’s smallest wired doorbell that doesn’t require a battery and has a 1080p sensor and standard motion detection. It’s slim and attractive, and you should have no trouble attaching it to most door frames. You no longer have a choice of front panels with this model; it comes with a black one. To be fair, this is a cheap product and Ring is trying to reduce the amount of plastic it produces. So if you prefer a different color, the company offers alternative faceplates. ..
Ring’s wired doorbell doesn’t come with a transformer, so if you already have a wired doorbell, this model won’t work with it. If not, Ring offers a compatible DIN rail transformer that can be installed near your consumer unit. Or you can purchase the Ring plug-in adapter and use a regular plug instead. ..
If you don’t have wiring, you can purchase a Ring doorbell kit that includes the doorbell and power supply. The kit is available in two versions: the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, which has a built-in camera and supports wired rings, and the Ring Alarm Pro, which does not have a camera but includes an external battery for added security. Once you’ve selected your power source and routed the cables, all you have to do is connect them to the ports on the back of the doorbell. Once powered up, connect the doorbell to your Wi-Fi via the Ring app. It only supports 2.4 GHz wireless, so make sure you have a strong signal near your front door. ..
The Ring Video Doorbell Wired also has a built-in speaker, so you can hear your home’s occupants even if they’re in another room. You can also control the motion detection distance and sound level with a voice command.
You can also reduce the number of alerts with some other settings. First, you can set when you want to receive notifications. The camera will still record, but you won’t know about it. People notifications – which are available with a Ring Protect cloud subscription – are also worth it. They’re pretty accurate, as you’ll only get an alert when a person is spotted, though all movement is recorded. Second, if you don’t want to receive notifications at all, you can turn off motion detection altogether by going to the Ring app and selecting “Notifications Off”.
