8VR1E7-0EN0 Video Doorbell Elite
Welcome
Congratulations on your new Ring Video Doorbell Elite.
Ring Doorbell is the foundation of the Ring of Security around your home.
We hope your Ring Doorbell brings you an increased sense of security and
convenience, as well as the joy that comes from being able to connect with
visitors when you’re not home.
Hi,
I’m Rochelle, a Ring Community Support Agent in Arizona. I’ve set up so many
Ring Doorbells, I can probably do it in my sleep!
We’ve included all the tools you need, so setting it up by yourself should be
a breeze. If you run into any problems, my colleagues and I can help. Just
give us a call.
Don’t feel like calling? Check out our online Help Center at ring.com/help.
Before you begin
| Elite Power Kit
Includes power adapter and plugs for different types of outlets.
---|---
| 3’ Ethernet Cable
Use this cable to connect the Elite Power Kit to your internet access point.
| 50’ Ethernet Cable
Run this cable from the Elite Power Kit to your Ring Doorbell.
| Elite Mounting Bracket (optional)
If installing Ring Elite on an existing junction box, you don’t need to use
this bracket. If you do use this bracket, you should remove the existing
junction box.
| Mounting Screws (5)
Attach Ring Elite to the bracket with four screws. Use two other screws to
attach the Elite Power Kit to your wall, if you’d like.
| Screwdriver Handle
| Screw Bit
Use the Phillips end for installation. If you are securing existing doorbell
wires in the small connectors on the back of Ring Elite, use the flathead
end.
| Flexible Bit
Use it for screwing the security screw into the bottom of Ring Doorbell Elite
after installing the faceplate.
| Security Screws (2)
Use one to secure the faceplate. Put the other one in your toolbox for the
inevitable moment that the first one gets dropped in the bushes.
| Faceplates (4)
Select the color that best matches your home… or your mood.
Wiring the Elite Power Kit
The Elite Power Kit is a PoE injector that converts internet into Power Over
Ethernet out.
To get started, connect the Elite Power Kit to AC, using the provided adapter.
Then, use the provided 3 foot ethernet cable to connect your access point to
the Internet In port on the Elite Power Kit.
Run cable to your Ring Elite
Run the 50 foot cable to the location where you’ll be installing Ring Elite.
Wiring Ring Elite to an internal doorbell is optional.
If you do so, shut off power at the breaker before connecting your existing
doorbell wires to the small wire terminals on the back of Ring Elite.
How it all fits together
If you need a visual overview, see the diagram to the right. This is how is
all fits together.
Note that as you screw the Elite Mounting Bracket into your wall, the “wings”
will rotate and lock the bracket into place.
Mark the install location
If you already have a junction box at the location where you’re installing
your Ring Elite, skip the next couple of steps and screw it directly into that
junction box.
If you don’t have a junction box, trace the outline of the supplied template,
then cut a rectangular hole in your wall to make room for the Elite Mounting
Bracket.
Install the Elite Mounting Bracket
Make sure any wires in your wall come through the bracket, and screw it in
using the two screws in the corners.
The wing clamps will rotate as the screws turn and lock the bracket into your
wall.
Plug in the ethernet cable
Plug the ethernet cable coming out of your wall into the ethernet port on the
back of Ring Elite.
As long as this cable is connected to power, the front light on Ring Elite
will begin spinning and it will begin talking to you to let you know that it
is ready to be set up in the Ring app.
Connect doorbell wires (optional)
If wiring Ring Elite to an internal doorbell, first shut off power at the
breaker, then connect your doorbell wires to the small wire connectors next to
the ethernet port.
Then use the provided flat-head screwdriver to secure the wires in the screw
holes.
Screw Ring Elite into the bracket
Using two of the provided screws, screw Ring Elite into the bracket to secure it on your wall.
Perform the in-app setup
In the Ring app, select Set Up a Device, and follow the in-app instructions to
connect Ring Elite to your Wi-Fi network.
When prompted, select ethernet as your connection method.
Secure the faceplate
After completing the in-app setup, place one of the provided faceplates on
your Ring Elite.
Then use one of the provided security screws and the flexible screwdriver bit to lock it into place.
After setting up Ring Elite in the app, select it

I’m having trouble completing the in-app setup
Ethernet Setup
If you selected Ethernet Setup during the inapp setup, see the following tips.
Why did my ethernet setup fail?
Check to see that all your wires are securely connected and try again. Check
to see that your
Ring Doorbell has power by making sure that the light on the front is glowing.
Make sure that your Elite Power Kit is connected correctly – with the ethernet
cable plugged into the proper In and Out ports, and the power adapter plugged
in and connected to a power outlet.
Wi-Fi Setup
I still can’t set setup to complete. What now?
When prompted to choose your connection type in the app during setup, select
Wi-Fi, and see if that works.
I’m having trouble with Wi-Fi setup
When Wi-Fi setup fails, look at the front of your Ring Doorbell. The light
indicates the issue.
| Top Flashing White means your Wi-Fi password was entered incorrectly. Select
your Wi-Fi network in your phone settings, select the option to forget it,
then reconnect to it again to confirm that you’re using the correct password
during setup.
---|---
| Right Flashing White means your Ring Doorbell may be too far from your
router to get a decent signal. If you are unable to connect Ring Elite via
ethernet, then you may need to get a Chime Pro to boost the WiFi signal to
your Ring Doorbell.
| Left Flashing White indicates a possible issue with your internet
connection. Unplug your modem/router for 40 seconds, plug it back in and then
repeat setup.
| Spinning White indicates that your Ring Doorbell is in setup mode. You’ll
need to follow the instructions in the Ring app. When prompted, connect to
the Wi- Fi network being broadcast by your Ring Doorbell.
| Nothing If the front light is not illuminated at all, check the connections
to your Elite Power Kit, since it is likely that a cable is not connected.
Why can’t I find the temporary Ring network on my phone?
Sometimes your phone fails to pick up the temporary Ring network. If this
happens, go to your phone settings, turn off your Wi-Fi connection, wait 30
seconds and turn it back on. If the Ring network still fails to appear, check
the connections to your Elite Power Kit, and ensure your Ring Doorbell is in
setup mode.
If none of the above elped…
Perform a hard reset on your Ring Doorbell by holding down the setup button
for 15 seconds, waiting 30 seconds and repeating the setup process.
Turn off cellular data and bluetooth on your mobile device and try again.
Try performing setup on a different mobile device.
