Hi AP.

Thank you for taking the time to ask this question. Yes, the Ring Battery Doorbell can be hardwired to an existing doorbell system or transformer for continuous charging (8-24 VAC, 40VA max, 50/60Hz).  The Ring Battery Doorbell is not compatible with wireless door chimes or any chime/intercom system using a DC transformer.
