For optimal performance, install your Ring Doorbell four feet above the ground.
If you're connecting to existing doorbell wiring that's higher than four feet, and want to angle your Ring for a better view, you can purchase a Wedge Kit at: ring.com/accessories
If you're connecting your Ring to existing doorbell wiring, first shut off power at the breaker.
Then remove your existing doorbell from the wall and disconnect the wires.
If you notice a diode when you remove your wired doorbell, this means you will need to install the included diode with your Ring.
Snap the little orange level onto the mounting bracket, and use the bracket to mark the four corner holes.
The recommended install height is 4 feet above the ground.
On stucco, brick, or concrete, use the provided bit to drill holes in your wall, then insert the anchors.
If you're installing on wood or siding, put the anchors in that drawer of stuff you never use and skip this step.
Use the phillips head side of the Ring screwdriver to screw in the mounting bracket.
Keep the orange screwdriver handy. You'll need it to take your Ring off the wall for charging.
Drive the screws into your wall (or into the anchors, if installed) until they are flush with the mounting bracket, and the bracket is flat against your wall.
If your wall is not completely flat, be careful not to screw the bracket in so tightly that it bends or bows.
Connect your doorbell wires to the screws on the bracket. It doesn't matter which wire connects to which screw.
The wiring must be connected to a transformer with a voltage of 8VAC – 24VAC and an internal doorbell or resistor.
DC transformers and most intercoms are not supported.
If your doorbell is digital (plays an electronic melody), attach the diode to the two screws on your bracket.
Put the gray indicator on the same side as the wire that leads to your internal doorbell.
If your doorbell is mechanical (makes a "dingdong" sound), DO NOT INSTALL THE DIODE.
If you have a digital doorbell, connecting the diode the wrong way won't do any harm. If your doorbell doesn't ring, just reverse the diode.
Line up the holes in your Ring Doorbell with the slots on the bracket.
Press firmly towards the wall and then down until you feel a click.
Use the star-shaped end of your Ring screwdriver to tighten the security screws on the bottom of your Ring Doorbell.
If you wired in your Ring, now you can restore power at the breaker.
Congratulations, you're done!

Get your Wi-Fi password just right.
The most common setup issues come from entering the wrong Wi-Fi password. These passwords are case-sensitive, and every little error counts.
Reboot your router.
If you know you entered the right password but you're having no luck, try turning your Wi-FI router off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Then, start setup again in the Ring app.
Start setup inside.
If you tried the tips above and setup still won't work, try moving your Ring Doorbell inside, near your Wi-Fi router. Then, start setup once more. Once setup completes successfully, you can install your Ring at your door.
