Well done - excellent explanation - as an electrician myself I would not have messed up the cove for the transformer's enclosure - I would have drilled a 20mm clearance hole through the side of both enclosures - each to their own - great work.

The marksmen is a godsend . Best British invention.

These two are brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙂🙂

Great work team!!! Very funny "Scream" your face. Make me laugh so hard. Thumbs up! Cheers!

This is such an excellent quality tutorial. Really clear and well detailed. Thanks.

Just an armchair suggestion, you might consider squirting a little bit of dielectric / silicon grease in the wire nuts to coat the wires so they won't corrode over time. I know your in an extremely dry climate there. 😁😁 Similar to the underground lawn sprinkler valve connectors that are already filled with them. Every little bit helps when its exposed to the rain over time.

Now that’s a pro install 👌🏼

Cracking stuff. SelectaDNA are a good thing to look into as well, internal van alarm etc. Just throw what you can at keeping your stuff safe.

I have Ring products and have for many years, one big criticism I have and it's worth other people being aware of is that they are vulnerable to Wi-Fi jammers, so if someone is jamming the Wi-Fi signal it won't detect anything and will not notify you... I've experienced this myself, a neighbour had an attempted break in and both mine and my next door neighbours front doorbells didn't get any footage from the doorbell, despite them being within range, what did capture them however was our drive way ring camera, which must have been just out of range of the jammer

Really nice and well explained - another excellent video. Keep up guys. I had a similar installation recently to my property. I installed an 16v door bell so I had to use a transformer. I did my research, I bought all the parts, I did all the planning of the installation but I called a certified electrician to do it for me. Despite being really into all DIY and that, I never mess around with electricity and especially when it has to do with the fuse box.

Really fair boss! Great work Jordan. This is why your successful

This video is really high quality! Very nice watch :)

Great video guys! One thing I'd like to point out is that buying an Echo Dot is much more worth the money instead of a Chime (if the Chime isn't already included in the deal). They are often offered with a discount and can do a lot more things.

@richardpawlowski4540

I have got to agree we use Echo dots instead of a chime, I have one in the garage so every time the camera is triggered Alexa chirps out “motion detected at the front door” and any scrote approaching knows he has been spotted. Echo Shows are also useful for seeing and communicating who is at your door saves hunting round for your phone.

I've been using the WYZE video doorbell for a fraction of the price, bought a din rail transformer of eBay for about £15.

Really nice recommendation for a video, really enjoy seeing more videos like this from UK based tradesmen. Great video, great explanation 👍

Yes, fit a ring a system and protect your van and property for peace of mind. Whilst fast asleep during the night or away from your mobile which you left on the table whilst working in someone's loft, your van gets emptied. You check your video footage (assuming you pay the subscription to back it up to the cloud) and there they are, captured in high definition wearing face coverings/masks etc. Problem solved, worth every penny.

Jordan seems like a great boss

With some help and a ton of equipment,easy! I settled for a speaker doorbell,just a few minutes to install,and done! Companies try to talk me into one of these,but they don't mention the cost or the work involved. Educational watching you two though.

You can get a ring plug in transformer too if there's a plug socket near the entrance. Just wish they doubled it up as a ring chime too, wouldve been neat

Love your video editing and videos really easy to follow

Great video. While this isn't a DIY job, can I do the grunt work up until the spurring off a lighting circuit, drilling through the cavity, wiring the Ring, and having it all ready to connect up to the consumer unit, then having a qualified spark come out and connect it up?

Hi great video really helping me prepare for installation. Please can I ask what size wire did you use to link the doorbell to the transformer is it 0.5mm or 0.75mm thank you

Great video. But can't you wire up a spring loaded boxing glove in the van in case someone breaks in. Remember to duck when opening the van yourself 😂

That's cool, it's themed chimes for the season, Halloween it is for now 🎃👻 try it again at Christmas

Nice job! Just a question; The previous Ring doorbells were low voltage ac powered, I see that they have now gone to 24v dc. I didn’t see any visible polarity marks on the back of the doorbell?

Nice video. Just wondering if you fitted the self-resetting fuse, the little white box (pro power V.2) on the output cable within the 2 module din rail enclosure.

Nice job lads doorbell looks the job

I'm surprised you guys didn't go for the one that has poe, as wifi is pretty easy to jam

Did you know that a family in the UK who have one of these ring doorbells has just lost a case in court? A neibour claimed that the ring doorbell was an invasion of their privacy as it picked them up as they left their home or walked past the house. This is a concerning development as it could lead to the scrapping of the law relating to no presumption to privacy in public. On another note the screw drivers are useless as they are not magnetic which means that it's very easy to loose the bottom mounted screws.

Interesting regarding the legal event on the recent judgment made on the ring door bell and the case being won. The case involved claims for harassment, breach of data protection, and nuisance. worth looking into regarding fitting them and discussing with neighbours that live close to one another to avoid any problems in the future.

Dam your a boss ..you even hovered his floor

New question, rather than adding to the wiring circuit and needing a minor works certificate, can I remove the old doorbell transformer and bell from the wall, use the existing load wires to power the included transformer and wire the ring camera that way, so it's more like an upgrade rather than an additional installation, which won't need a minor installation certificate?

Next door looks to have a lovely black armoured cable down the front of their house! Maybe you could offer to do a bit of angle drilling to find a better route (for a small fee!!)

yes this is true,,where do youget the transformer from

I have the ring pro 2 also. It's showing offline as of recently and is showing as 4v and says the transformer is not supplying enough power. What would be the problem?

What bell cable did you use? I cant find any that meet the specs besides alarm cables.

A good way to DIY it is to run the transformer to a 3way plug. No issues there will the fuse board 😀

You could have gone side entry to/from the din enclosure/CU save hacking the coving away like that !

Do you have to put 2 screws on the ring pro 2 to attach to back plate as my ring pro doesn’t click into the back plate

I’ve seen installations of these din rail transformers with an in line fuse, is that necessary?

Does the DIN metal enclosure come in the kit or separate?

I have just bought the Ring 2nd gen video doorbell and I plan to hardwire it to where my existing DETA door chime is beside the front door , its already got the mains power incoming and bell wire going to a button outside (where the device will be fitted) so easy install My question is looking at all the available transformers and their housings isn’t there a better aesthetics unit available by now, they are all massive and rather ugly to be fitted where the slightly better looking DETA unit once was. i was thinking surely by now Ring has a hard wired Chime box with an internal Transformer to power an external Ring-Video unit???

Recently installed the Ring video doorbell pro 2. We love it, but having issues with the transformer voltage reading in the Device Heath tab on the app. The pro 2 needs 16-24 volts and according to the Ring app, the voltage it's getting is around 16 which is good, but at times it drops to 15 volts and then I get a "poor" reading in the Device Health tab. Ring told me I possibly needed a new transformer, however none of us can find it. My question is, if the voltage drops to 15 periodically, it that ok? If not, sounds like I'll need a totally different doorbell since we cannot locate the transformer. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!

How did you manage to get the Doorbell picture quality/Wi-Fi connection so good ?

CJR electrical (Chris) installed the same thing (Including enclosure) 2 days ago.

Not sure I would use the pigtails and wire nuts on the doorbell. I typically would crimp spade lugs on the twinlead from the transformer. Fewer connections means higher reliability IMO.

For DIY install, mount the transformer box near a 13A socket, add in a grommet and cable to plug and the entire install becomes an appliance. Not forgetting there seems to be a thriving market in stolen ring doorbells. It is a shame when the security device itself becomes the target for theft.

Locks and safe have been stolen. 😅 The barbarian invasion has begun.

Using it as a security camera, how do you deal with power outages?

Is there a specific bell wire brand or size that you used in this installation? I installed a Ring doorbell a few years ago and as there was no chime with the package (a customer specifically order this type) I had to install a 50 ohm resistor which is attached to the wiring inside the din rail enclosure. Not sure if anybody else has had to do this before? Ring customer services insisted this was installed. They didn’t say any of this in the manual though?!

Where did the DIN rail come from? Included?

I already installed but I would like to change to wiring, light switch plug is 30cm far away can I connecting that?

I am looking for the transformer and the enclosure. Where can i get it?

How would you wire this to a chime? I know ring have compatible chimes

Can you not use this without the transformer? As I have this and no idea what to do with it

Made my own wedge from a piece of tilt fillet long before a bespoke wedge was available as my Ring was going in an internal corner

Can you just use standard bell wire from transformer to ring bell?

Make sure you put a sign up saying images sound are being recorded. Someone just fined £100k in the UK for using a ring doorbell.

Hope the felt was repaired under the roof tiles 🙈

i have purchased a blink doorbell system, i want to wire it to my existing door bell. the problem is my existing system is a 8v 1a transformer in the fuse box and that is connected to a round 8v hammer bell. the blink system has to be at least 16v. getting a transformer is easy, but getting a 16v chime seems impossible

When you think it's called Pro because it needs a "pro" to install it. Apart from the transformer that comes with it and some additional features it's exactly the same as the regular ring door Bell. Both have batteries both can be hard wired. Any doorbell transformer is compatible.

I'm a DIY guy only, my in laws have asked me to install their ring door bell, turns out it's hardwire, they hav an existing doorbell that's not on its own circuit, and wired to something else in the consumer unit (not sure where at the moment) is it possible to not used the included transformer and just wire it to the existing set up, providing its the same in/output power, so I'm not effectively adding to the system? Thanks in advance

What size bell wire did you use ? The ring website says that 18 gauge wire is the ideal size. But what is this in UK mm2? Many thanks

The bad boys will never be able to wrench that camera from the wall. lol.

where did the wire nuts sit? inside the wall or inside the wedge?
