Video Doorbell Wired + Chime

If you have an existing wired doorbell system at your front door, then Video Doorbell Wired can be installed and powered using your existing doorbell wiring. Check if your current system is compatible (8-24V AC, 10-40 VA, 50/60Hz), otherwise you will need to use the DIN Rail Transformer 2nd Gen (sold separately). We recommend calling a professional electrician for this type of installation.

If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring but you do have an electrical socket near your front door, then you can use Plug-In Adapter to power Video Doorbell Wired. Plug-In Adapter features a long, 6 metre cable that connects to your Video Doorbell Wired and simply plugs into a standard UK indoor electrical socket, for continuous power and peace of mind.

No, not in this case. To make installation simple, Video Doorbell Wired requires you to bypass the existing doorbell chime which means your existing chime will not sound. To continue hearing audio alerts in your home, pair Video Doorbell Wired with an existing Ring Chime, compatible Alexa device, or select the Video Doorbell Wired + Chime bundle.

Ideal for when you can't get to the door, or just don't feel like answering, Quick Replies let you set a pre-recorded audio message to play when your Video Doorbell is pressed. Choose from six preset responses, toggle Quick Replies on and off in the Ring app and if you have a Ring Home subscription you can even ask your visitor to leave a message, which you can playback later. Think of it as an answering machine for your front door.

At this time, the Quick Replies feature is available in the UK and Ireland.

While we can’t comment on when Quick Replies will be available in other countries, what we can tell you is that we aim to release features that empower all our customers with an affordable, effective way to monitor and secure their homes.
