Yes. Mine is that way. This is per a Ring support article. When hardwired and having a battery pack installed, the battery serves strictly as a power outage back up power source.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Kio23. Yes, the Video Doorbell 3 can be hardwired and battery powered (simultaneously) as a backup. A hardwired Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus does not actually use the power from the wire to run its operations. It relies on the battery for that. The trickle charge the Ring Video Doorbell 3 gets from being hardwired is solely used to charge the battery. In order to maximize the lifetime of the battery, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus waits for the battery to hit below 90% before using the wired power to recharge the battery.
