Installing a Ring Doorbell is easy. You can do it yourself. Follow these steps to install your new doorbell.

What You Need

• Ring Doorbell
• Screwdriver
• Drill (if needed)
• Level
• Anchors (if needed)
• Charging Cable
• Wi-Fi Connection

Step 1: Charge the Doorbell

The first step is to charge your Ring Doorbell. Use the charging cable. Plug one end into the doorbell. Plug the other end into a power source. A light will show it’s charging. Wait until the light turns off. This means it’s fully charged.

Step 2: Download the Ring App

Next, download the Ring app. You can find it on your phone’s app store. The app helps you set up your doorbell. Open the app. Create an account or sign in if you have one. Follow the instructions on the app.

Step 3: Connect to Wi-Fi

Open the Ring app. Choose “Set Up a Device.” Select “Doorbells” from the list. The app will guide you. Connect your doorbell to your Wi-Fi. Make sure your Wi-Fi is strong. This is important for video quality.

Step 4: Choose a Location

Pick a spot for your doorbell. It should be near your door. Make sure it covers your front yard. Hold the doorbell against the wall. Check the view using the app. Move it until you like the view.

Step 5: Mark the Holes

Use a pencil to mark where the screws will go. Hold the doorbell against the wall. Mark the spots through the holes in the doorbell. This will make drilling easier.

Step 6: Drill Holes

Drill holes where you marked. If your wall is brick or concrete, use anchors. Anchors make sure the screws stay tight. Insert the anchors into the holes.

Step 7: Attach the Mounting Bracket

Place the mounting bracket on the wall. Line it up with the holes. Use screws to attach the bracket. Make sure it is tight. Use a level to check if it is straight.

Step 8: Attach the Doorbell

Now, attach the doorbell to the bracket. Slide it down until it clicks. This means it is secure. Double-check to make sure it is tight.

Step 9: Test the Doorbell

Go back to the app. Press the doorbell button. Check if you get a notification. If yes, the doorbell is working. If not, check your Wi-Fi connection. Also, check if the doorbell is secure.

Step 10: Adjust Settings

Open the Ring app. Go to settings. Here you can adjust video quality. You can also set motion zones. Motion zones help you avoid false alerts. Set the zones to cover important areas only.
