“If this 2nd generation camera is wired, what’s the point in having to still charge the battery? Aren’t you better off not hardwiring it and saving the costs of doing so? I don’t understand the benefits of hardwire if you still have to charge the battery”

The down side to not hardwiring is unless you have an outside outlet, you have to remove the Ring doorbell to charge inside. You can purchase a solar charger for your 2nd generation Ring doorbell.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Zeet. Thanks for reaching out. The Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Generation) is a battery-powered device. It does not require hardwiring; however, it can be hardwired for continuous charging so that you do not have to remove it to recharge it. Having the device hardwired also allows it to trigger an existing chime kit when someone rings your doorbell.
