18V / 800mA Doorbell Transformer & Power Adapter for Ring Video Doorbell, Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Ring Video Doorbell 2 & Compatible with Nest Hello Doorbell and Zmodo Smart Doorbell Review

****Update**** 27.06.2020 Had problems with the doorbell last week and I thought it was the camera but it turned out the power supply was dying was. No longer works, must be replaced. Used for our video doorbell. We didn't have a doorbell before, and our house is actually in the woods, so there's no real reason for that. And our front door is nowhere near the driveway. That's why we've equipped the garage, which is right next to the driveway, with a video doorbell. So far it works great. No…

Works perfectly with the Ring Original video intercom. Before use, the battery only lasted a few days (after several years of use). No problems since installation. Sometimes the wired connection will switch to battery at 93% charge, but this is normal as the device will use more power than it would on a constant charge and then revert back to a wired connection when fully charged. The plug (transformer) is large for an outdoor outlet with a cover, so buy an inexpensive large outdoor outlet…

Update! Reinstalled at home after charging the doorbell battery and happy to report the batteries are now fully charged. Very happy as it was -13F outside this morning. This plug transformer was easier than installing a regular doorbell transformer, much less hassle. I am disappointed that this transformer is not maintaining the battery life of my new Ring Video Doorbell (2020 Edition). To be fair it could be due to sub-zero temperatures but I don't think so. It outputs 18 volts AC, but…

Now I can use all the functions of my ring without worrying about the battery going dead after a few weeks. Ultimately, the installation depends on the layout of your home. My front door had a stopper and I had to use a very long wood drill bit to drill through the wall on the outside of my house. Not the most difficult setup. Charging isn't fast, but it's not necessary. I have every 3% charge in 24 hours. It works well enough to keep the battery completely drained. It will likely take a couple

I like to think of myself as a technocrat, my wife likes the word geek, but I still want to know that my tech is working properly. That's probably why it drove me crazy that I had a diode and didn't know what to do with it. In short, you only need to use it if your existing doorbell is digital (with speaker). If it's an old-style bell with a hammer/chime, you don't need it. The PSU works great with my Ring 2 and although I routed the cable through the drywall you can easily hide it along the…

This keeps my Ring Doorbell 2 battery not charging The battery loses capacity for weeks and taking it out and charging it for several hours is such a problem. According to other Ring users (see YouTube video) they need 40VA (Volt*Ampere=Watt) at 24VAC (AC) to have enough power to balance the power draw of the Video Doorbell (and infrared light) at night. . . This device only outputs 16V * 0.8A = 12.8VA. Additionally, each ring requires a 25 ohm 50 watt resistor connected to one side of the…

Without this power supply my doorbell would be half useless. No need to charge the batteries of the home security device, this adapter solves a critical security problem w ringing when the doorbell fails when the batteries run out. In colder climates, batteries fail and a doorbell becomes a necessity. This cord is a great length and the box stays firmly in the socket, even behind a busy spot in my house - a shoe bench. I drilled a 5/8 inch hole in the wall for the wire, filled it with foam and…

So if you are installing a Ring 2 doorbell (or any other Ring product), want to install wired charging and (most importantly) the distance between your device and the place where the transformer is connected is greater than the length of cable already connected to that transformer. Continue reading. The transformer itself is what you would expect from a $15 Chinese transformer. The voltage varies, but this isn't a problem for charging the Ring device as 16V is right in the middle of the…
