Ring Plug-In Adaptor (2nd generation)

When I received my Ring Doorbell (Gen 2) as a present, I knew I wanted it hardwired as my memory isn't great and I would forget to charge the internal battery, although they are meant to last for a good number of months - depending on your settings. Also, I did not want to keep removing the security screws and risk loosing them!! Finding the plug in adapter was more challenging that I thought it would be, mainly because I didn't have a clue what it was called. After finding many alternative suppliers who stated their product can be used with the Ring, I wanted the OE item, and after more searching I was able to locate and purchase it!! I would say, it would be great to have options for the cable length, but as long as you think of your cable route prior to any action, then you'll need good. Overall I found installation was a lot easy than I had thought initially - I think I spent longer thinking and planning the cable routing haha. Connecting the wire to the Ring terminal screws located at the back is so easy, taking no time at all. After I had it all connected and just requiring mounting and the security screws, I accessed the doorbell via the app to check it was working and showing hardwired - which it did!! Overall the complete installation took no more than 45 minutes. I would recommend this to anyone, so you don't need to charge or replace batteries. I now have my Ring doorbell (Gen 2) set to the highest/best settings that would normally drain your battery, but now I see a better picture quality on both day and night and I have no issues with the motion detection, it only picks up on the area I set and nothing else. A little bit of kit, that is definitely worth the money!

This unit unlike all the cheaper alternatives is silent and stays cold. After reading reviews on all the cheaper transformers about being so noisy that folk unplugged them, i decided that buying the original official Ring power supply unit was a ‘no brainer’ and the best, safest way to go. It has been specifically designed for use with their own ring doorbells and camera gear so obviously they are matched much better to their equipment than the cheaper generic versions. It is literally totally silent. It comes with 10 cable clips that match the wire thickness which are hard to find in hardware stores (20 would have been much better) , the screws that come with the clips are quite heavy duty and bulky and have a long size (1”) too long for fitting to skirting boards in my opinion so i replaced all the original clip bolts with small 1/2” self tapping screws that were far less visible to the eye (in photo), i predrilled tiny primer holes to avoid splitting the skirting board wood as i positioned all mine along the bottom edge of the skirting along the carpet line. The wiring of Doorbell cameras is simple as it does not matter which way round the cables are connected from the AC adapter, but apparently they do have to be strictly correct polarity for chimes and other Ring hardware (but not ring doorbells) , a ridge on one of the wires signifies a certain polarity for those scenarios but for my ring doorbell 4 camera it didnt matter so i just fitted then how i felt fit. Everything shows as ‘hardwired’ in the app and all is functioning absolutely perfectly. Love it! i would recommend this AC power supply to anyone using Ring products because it is silent and has the correct electrical rating for the matched Ring equipment. Its might cost £10 more a at £22 but its worth the extra for piece of mind and silence safe operating👍 5 stars im giving this as i cannot really find fault in anyway tbh

You need to understand that this is a battery charger rather than a mains power supply. You’ll still drain the battery if you ramp up the features on the Ring doorbell itself if you have a lot of traffic. After trying many scenarios, the biggest one to avoid is having HD recording set. Mine dropped from 100% to 87% after a few visits and could not recharge back to 100% until I shut HD off again. The motion sensor set to Frequent and Snapshot set to every 5 minutes don’t cause an issue. Easy install although not impressed with the cable clips supplied, I used my own. Charger stays cool enough and is silent. Price is so competitive that I can’t see why you’d buy a dodgy no-name cheapo charger instead.

I had owned a battery operated Ring 1st Generation doorbell for over two years and as we are on a busy street have been charging it literally every 5 days even after altering settings.. Recently there had been an issue with recordings only capturing 10 seconds of footage no matter what video length settings I adjusted.. Checked internet and there are many reports of similar problems of the 10 second recordings...Contacted Ring support and long story short they could not fix the problem after hours on the phone.. Received a Ring 2 (2020 version) in the last week and set it up and I must say it is has a far superior image quality of 1080p HD and thankfully the recording length settings all work fine on this device... I had previously purchased a non branded transformer on a certain web site to try and hardwire my Ring 1 doorbell but that did not work from the moment I installed it. Thought I would try this original Ring hardwire transformer and received it 48 hours ago and after fully charging the Ring 2 doorbell connected it in seconds and it immediately recognised it as being "hardwired" on the Ring app. There has been dozens of motion recordings over the last 48 hours and I am absolutely amazed that on just checking the battery indicator it is still showing 100% !!!... If this transformer maintains this or even if it would stay at 80% and save me having to dismantle and recharge the doorbell every few days would be amazing.. Time will tell and I will update this review in time and see how things are then, but this is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time, what a time saver this could turn out to be....... ***UPDATE*** After 3 days of use/hardwiring the battery charge indicator on the Ring 2 2020 doorbell has now disappointingly dropped to 73%. I have now disconnected the doorbell, brought it indoors and still have it hardwired with the device face down on a table so no motion whatsoever will be detected and have "disarmed" the setting in the app, I will leave it hardwired for 24 hours and see if the percentage increases to show it is actually receiving a trickle charge. I feel disappointed after the initial expectations and if still showing at 73% charge in 24 hours time it is obviously not charging the doorbell despite the Ring app showing it is "hardwired" with lightning bolt through the green charge indicator and a white circular constant light at the front of the Ring doorbell. I will be returning this Ring transformer if not providing a charge.. Will update in 24 hours... ******OK, so 16 hours later have checked the app device health and am pleased to say it is still showing as hardwired and is now showing a 100% charge so I am happy that this transformer is trickle charging the battery so will replace the doorbell in the knowledge that it will charge it back to 100%... may need to tweek motion settings as we face a busy street and hence why the battery may have dropped so much in a few days.. Yes... would recommend this transformer, it does work!!!!!... Update 27.11.21..having used this transformer everyday for the last two months with one minute recordings of probably 100 recordings per day I have never had to recharge the doorbell via the indoor charger.. the hardwired device readings are always between 80 and 85 per cent each day so extremely happy with that considering the amount of daytime recordings our busy street captures..trickle charge overnight during quiet period seems to restore to a good percentage....a good purchase..

Bit more pricey than the other alternatives, but no buzz on the audio, I bought this for the later gen 2 battery operated door bell, As the solar charger mount wasnt enough to keep it topped up, I tried another brand which was half the price but had an audible buzz on the sound when viewing, this Ring model doesnt do that, The kit was easy to fit, Has a good length of cable so providing you have a socket near your door this would do the job, The wire clips are a bit over the top so used a cable stapler for a neater install, The door bell now has an illuminated button which should make it more noticable for visitors in the dark, But the main reason i wanted to hard wire the doorbell is so i can max out the settings without having to regular charge the unit, I still have my solar charge mount connected, it seems the Doorbell is smart enough to determine what power source is connected and correctly disabled the solar pack, When i flick off the switch it automatically re enables it which i thought was a nice touch should the mains go out it will auto switch to solar. Anyhoo i think its worth the extra to buy an Ring branded power supply, so far no problems, and easy enough install.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Makes Life So Much Easier for Ring Doorbells I bought the Ring Plug-In Adaptor (2nd Gen) because I was tired of constantly recharging my doorbell battery, and it’s been a brilliant upgrade. Installation was straightforward—just connect the wires to the doorbell and plug it in. No electrical work, no fuss. Once set up, the doorbell stays powered continuously, and I haven’t had to touch the battery since. The connection has been stable, and the doorbell responds faster than it did when running on battery alone. The cable length is generous enough to route neatly around the doorway, and the adaptor itself feels well-built and safe. It also runs quietly with no buzzing or warmth, which was something I checked for. If you’re using a Ring doorbell and want a simple, reliable way to keep it powered without dealing with battery swaps, this adaptor is definitely worth it.

Great product, charging flat doorbell, no hum no heating

Bought this for my Eufy E340 (battery model) it works perfectly, definitely recommend! Especially if your having syncing problems, my videos wouldn’t load on the app or often miss motion, with this it’s been spot on every time!
