A:AnswerHello cmwk,
The Ring Doorbell (2020 Release) should have the orange setup button on the back of the unit. Have you removed the mounting plate off the back? Do you possibly own another model number? It’s important to find out which model you have so that you get compatible products and successfully set up your unit. Here is a helpful article which aids in determining which Ring doorbell model you own: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057317451-How-to-Find-Out-What-Ring-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera-You-Have-and-Get-the-Right-Accessories-.

Tap the three lines on the top left of the screen
Tap Devices
Select the doorbell or camera you want to learn about

A:AnswerHello,
Good question! A Ring Doorbell can also be connected to an existing mechanical or electronic doorbell that operates at a voltage between 8 volts AC and 24 volts AC. Once connected, pressing the button on your Ring Doorbell will trigger your existing chime. The wiring from your existing doorbell will charge the battery in the Ring Video Doorbell, so with normal use your battery will stay charged. Here is more information about installing your new device to your home's wiring: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041352731-How-to-Physically-Install-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2020-release-With-an-Existing-Doorbell.

A:AnswerHello Top,
Good question! No, the Ring Video Doorbell (2020 release) does not use an SD card for video storage. With a Ring Protect plan, you can record videos from your Ring Video Doorbell (2020 release). A Ring Protect Plan is an optional subscription that gives you access to paid features for Ring devices such as doorbells, cameras, and alarms. With a Ring Protect plan, you can save, review, and share video recordings from your Ring devices to your Ring account. Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events. Visit our support center for more information: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001671383-General-Information-on-Ring-Protect-Subscription-Plans.
