Who Installs Ring Doorbells?

If you have electrical experience, you might decide to install the Ring camera on your own. Aside from DIY installation, you can also contact an electrician for a professional setup.

DIY Installation

Ring doorbells are user-friendly, especially the battery-powered models, making them simple to install. If you know how to hang a picture frame, you should be able to use the required tools to install a battery-operated Ring camera. Following the instructions that come with the doorbell, screw the mounting bracket to your door frame or wall and snap the doorbell in place. Afterward, you can connect the doorbell to your Wi-Fi using the Ring app. It takes approximately 15 minutes to install a battery-operated Ring camera.

Wired installations are slightly more involved and require some working knowledge of electricity, so it’s best to contact a professional. However, if you want to install the camera on your own, first turn off the power at the breaker, then disconnect the wires from your existing doorbell and connect them to the Ring doorbell. The new doorbell should be mounted near your front entry. Turn the power back on and test the device. Ring provides all the necessary hardware and offers multiple video tutorials.

Professional Installation

If you’re not comfortable installing a Ring doorbell on your own, professional installation is the way to go. Perhaps you lack confidence or tools, or you just want to ensure the job is done correctly without any hassles. Check around for a handyman who offers installation services, or ask friends and family to recommend a local electrician. The place you purchased your Ring camera should also be able to provide recommendations for installation assistance if they don’t offer the service.

Make Sure Your Wi-Fi Can Handle Your Ring Camera

Before purchasing a Ring doorbell, check the Wi-Fi signal at your front door or where you want the device installed. If the signal is weak, you’ll need to purchase a Wi-Fi signal extender or ask your internet provider about installing a hardwired connection closer to the camera. This additional Ring doorbell installation cost can save you from dealing with dropped connections later on.

Optional Ring Subscription Costs

Ring doorbells don't require an active subscription if you only want to view live feed from the doorbell. If you want to store any of the videos for later viewing, you’ll need a subscription, so it's important to consider this alongside installation costs.
