How to install a ring door bell

1. Check What’s in the Box

Your Ring Doorbell package should include:

• The Ring Doorbell unit
• A mounting bracket
• Screws and anchors
• A screwdriver and drill bit
• A level tool
• Charging cable (for battery models)
• Wire extenders and connectors (for wired models)

2. Charge the Battery (Battery Models Only)

• If you have a battery-powered Ring Doorbell, charge it fully using the included USB cable until the light turns solid green.

3. Download the Ring App and Create an Account

• Install the Ring app on your smartphone (iOS or Android).
• Sign in or create a Ring account.
• Tap “Set Up a Device” and select “Doorbells.”
• Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device to Wi-Fi.

4. Turn Off Power (Wired Models Only)

• If you are replacing an existing wired doorbell, turn off power at the breaker to avoid electric shock.

5. Choose the Mounting Location

• Pick a spot near your door at about 4 feet (1.2 meters) high.
• Use the included level tool to ensure the doorbell is straight.
• If mounting on brick, concrete, or stucco, use the included wall anchors.

6. Install the Mounting Bracket

• Align the bracket with your chosen location.
• Mark the drill holes with a pencil.
• Drill pilot holes if necessary.
• Secure the bracket with screws.

7. Connect the Wires (Wired Models Only)

• Attach your existing doorbell wires to the screws on the back of the Ring device.
• If the wires are too short, use the included wire extenders.

8. Attach the Ring Doorbell

• Hook the top of the Ring Doorbell onto the bracket.
• Snap the bottom in place.
• Secure it with the included security screws using the provided screwdriver.

9. Restore Power and Test

• Turn power back on (for wired models).
• Open the Ring app and check the video feed.
• Press the doorbell to test notifications.

10. Adjust Settings in the Ring App

• Motion Detection: Set up motion zones to reduce false alerts.
• Notification Settings: Customize how you receive alerts.
• Linked Devices: Connect to Alexa or other smart home devices.

Troubleshooting

• If the Ring Doorbell doesn’t turn on, recharge the battery or check wiring connections.
• If the video feed is poor, move your Wi-Fi router closer or use a Wi-Fi extender.
• If the doorbell doesn’t ring inside, check if you need a Ring Chime (for battery models).

That’s it! Your Ring Doorbell should now be fully functional. Let me know if you need help with anything specific.
