The wired one doesn’t have a battery and won’t work with your home doorbell. You you need a power adapter or make sure you have the appropriate voltage running to your doorbell wires.
Source: I’ve had both and current have the wired one and two chime pro’s. You also have to make sure the polarity is correct for the wired one or it won’t work at all. You may also need the included resistor for it to work
Out of the 5 that I have installed, none have worked with anyone’s door bell and they put it in their literature that it doesn’t work with a certain type. I’m glad it works with yours. I like the chimes bc I can customize the sounds to a ring, motion,etc
The wired pro requires constant power, so if your doorbell wiring doesn’t support that, you will have to get the non-wired version and take it off to charge it or get the hard wire kit and you can run a normal wall charger for it.

I had to do that at my grandparents house bc I didn’t want them to have to remember to take it off the wall and charge it. You just have to keep someone from unplugging it from the wall socket 😂
Yeah I’m pissed that I’m gonna need to replace my doorbell and 3 cameras because of their lack of respect for privacy and giving access to our homes to fascists
I really like the look of the lite and the price is great. I just don't know how I could get ethernet to the front door. Currently got a wifi ring doorbell which has a button falling apart.
Maybe I just need to get adventurous with a drill and see if I can get through my stair case...
I have something like a ring doorbell but we don't pay to have it run. It only captures pictures when the doorbell is rung and we can open it up to look outside. That's it. I don't have any other smart appliances.
>The wired only model equires specific power requirements, no? 16-24 volt , 30-40VA
yes. but that's a good upgrade regardless
>Will that trickle charge the battery of the ring door bell pro if I hook these wires up?
if you have power going to the location, please DON'T get the battery version. you'll be much happier with the wired one.
>Why do you advice against the battery powered version?
battery version is slower to react to motion. live view takes a little longer to start, the pro 2 has bigger video frame. you get shorter snapshot intervals with wired. you don't have to worry about the battery not charging when it gets cold.
