“My existing doorbell is to the side of my door. Can I install the ring in a different spot so I can get a frontal view of my yard/street? If so how do I get rid of my old hardwired door bell and will I also need to buy a chime?”

We have our doorbell to the side of our door! Can we install the Ring doorbell?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you use old doorbell wires, you can use old chime. You can go without wires, but will have to occasionally recharge battery, and probably use their wireless chime. I actually added a wedge to my Ring, so it is angled, and the camera gets a better view.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sarah, It is wireless with a lithium ion rechargeable battery that lasts six to twelve months on a charge. It can be mounted anywhere and doesn't need to be wired at all. I love that because I installed one of mine where there is no electric whatsoever.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can install it wherever you want it. It doesn’t have to be used as a door bell. The Ring has a video on how to hard wire it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Sarah, Thanks for writing me. Yes, you are absolutely able to place your Ring Video Doorbell in a spot that gives you a frontal view. You will, however, need to make sure that you purchase a battery operated Ring Video Doorbell so that you do not need any pre-existing doorbell kit. If you would be so kind as to email me directly at [email protected] I would be more than happy to assist you further. Thanks, Kaitlyn R., Neighbor Satisfaction Specialist [email protected]
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can just cover up the original Door Bell location with a plate. the RING doorbell has an internal battery, and depending on your motion settings, you may only need to charge it a few times a year (via supplied usb cable). Or a using the hard wired doorbell (and exisiting chime) it can be charged via the doorbell wiring. RING's website has lots of Q&A's. You can purchase the RING CHIME adapter to eliminate the home installed doorbell. See recommended products below
I would recommend:
