Once the wires are connected, attach the doorbell to the mounting bracket and secure it in place with the provided screws.
Step 4: Set Up Your Ring Doorbell
After installing the Ring Doorbell, download the Ring app on your smartphone and create an account if you haven’t already. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your Ring Doorbell to your Wi-Fi network and customize your settings, such as motion detection and notification preferences.
