The video provides a detailed walkthrough on installing a Ring video doorbell to a wired system and affixing a camera device. Initially, an electrician explains the components of a traditional doorbell system—push button, transformer, and the chime—and the steps for safely removing an old doorbell and mounting the new one, including considerations for different materials. The process entails cutting off power, ensuring proper wire management, screw placement, and the use of a masonry kit when necessary.
The presenter then delves into the installation of the camera, including the removal and replacement of the default plate, wire connection, and alignment to avoid image issues. They emphasize the necessity of keeping wires separated to avoid circuit issues and securing the cover with specific tools from the kit. Additionally, they discuss installing a power pack at a safe distance from coils and the setup process for syncing the device with an app and Wi-Fi. For larger homes, a Ring chime can be added to extend sound coverage by connecting it through the app.
The video concludes with an encouragement to follow the channel for more electrical tutorials and to visit electricians.com, which offers an array of educational resources, including videos, premium content, and courses on electrical practices and the National Electrical Code, available for free to members.

In this part of the video, the electrician demonstrates how to install a Ring video doorbell to a wired system. He explains the components of a doorbell system: the push button, the transformer usually placed in an attic or closet, and the chime inside the house. He then turns off the power, removes the existing doorbell button, and ensures not to lose the short wires in the wall. The next step involves attaching the mounting plate, making sure it covers any old marks and is positioned correctly. He advises on screw placement, emphasizing they should be flush and may need to be angled to avoid them sticking out. For mounting on materials like stone or brick, he mentions the need for a masonry kit and pre-drilling holes.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to properly install a camera device. They highlight the process of removing the default plate, which involves pushing it from the front since it is clipped in place. Then, they demonstrate how to loosen screws to connect the wires, ensuring the wires do not touch each other to complete the circuit. The camera installation involves attaching tiny screws, aligning correctly with labels such as “remove film” to avoid an upside-down image. They use a special hex or star screwdriver provided in the kit for securing the cover.
Following this, they discuss installing a power pack, which must be placed away from coils to avoid malfunction. Once the button and chime are installed and connected, they turn the power back on to sync the device with an app and the Wi-Fi. Additionally, the presenter suggests using a ring chime for larger houses to extend the doorbell sound coverage by simply plugging it into the wall and connecting it via the app.
