A:AnswerI was concerned about the battery life as I could not use our existing doorbell power. My concerns were unwarranted - as long as I take the time to charge, it does very well. :)
Depending on the model, you charge just like a cell phone. Plug in to a USB adapter and wait a few hours. I have one where you have to pop the battery out and another that you plug in the entire doorbell. Be sure and use the cable that comes with the device - for me they seem to be slightly different than a typical USB plug-in.
If the device is set to use low power consumption then a single charge lasts 30 to 60 days.
A:AnswerYes. Search on Rings actual website and look on Amazon. I had to purchase one because my door bell was on the side wall of my house. Now I can see straight ahead when installing the adapter kit.
