In-app Setup

Set Up Your Ring Doorbell Using the Ring App

The Ring app will walk you through the setup process.

Download the Ring app by visiting ring.com/app and when prompted, select Video Doorbell.

Perform setup inside near your router. You’ll need your network name and Wi- Fi password.

Testing Your Ring Doorbell

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 is indoors, you may need to move your router closer to your door, or invest in a Wi-Fi extender.

Installation

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.

Installation

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.

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.

On stucco, brick, or concrete install the anchors using the provided drill bit and a power drill before installing the mounting bracket.

Install the Mounting Bracket

On wood or siding, you can skip this step, and screw the bracket directly into your wall.

Use the Phillips head side of the Ring screwdriver for screwing in your mounting bracket.

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 at all uneven, be careful not to screw the bracket in so tightly that it bends.

Connect the Wires (optional)

Connect the wires coming out of your wall to the screws on the bracket.

It doesn’t matter which wire connects to which screw.
$Connect the Wires $optional$$

If you’re replacing an existing doorbell, 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

If your doorbell is digital (e.g. plays a melody), attach the included diode to the two screws on your bracket.

If your doorbell is mechanical (e.g. 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 existing doorbell doesn’t ring, just reverse the diode.

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.

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.
