The Ring3 can be hard wired and can be used with your existing wiring. The battery allows you to mount it anywhere or if you don't have existing low voltage doorbell wiring
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Rudy, Due to shipping restrictions, our lithium batteries can only be shipped at about 30% charge, so the first thing you should do before installing your Video Doorbell 3 is charge the battery with the included micro USB cable and ensure non-stop performance once installed. Please note, a hardwired Ring Video Doorbell does not actually use the power from the wire or the solar charger power to run its operations. It relies on the battery for that. The trickle charge the Ring Video Doorbell 3 gets from being hardwired or the solar charger is solely used to charge the battery. In order to maximize the lifetime of the battery, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 waits for the battery to hit below 90% before using the wired power to recharge the battery.
