Video Doorbell Elite

I had similar, looked at various solutions and ended up spending a Saturday with a rotary hammer and a diamond cutoff. Put a low voltage ring in the brick for a Ring Elite PoE. So all the way thru the brick fascia and into framing behind, like butter. Wiring on the back is concealed by removing trim, drilling about a 1 1/4" hole in lath & plaster, and fishing Smurf tube to the basement.

Elite works with chimes. You just have to enable in setup. I found tech support worthless. Clueless about the Elite.

I have a Ring Elite. Yes it rings my Angelo solenoid chimes. Had to enable a setting at installation. No it is not onvif.

Rings wired doorbell is supposed to work with chimes, even a mechanical chime. They also have a wired Elite that is PoE, that does not appear to work with a chime. They make chimes that plug into an outlet and will ring when the doorbell is activated. None of Ring doorbells are ONVIF, however.

This, ring is over priced junk, reolink is a way better option

A Ring wired doorbell. The POE doorbell is great.

I have no idea if it’s the best or even close, but I have a hard-wired Ring doorbell that does a very clear picture through the app with no subscription.

Have a hard wired ring, literally saved my life.

We are a Ring family as well. We have had our video doorbell (which wasn’t the most up to date version when we bough it) for 5+ years and we have not had my issues with it. The in house key pad has never worked correctly but we always just use our phones to turn on and off the alarm. The flood light was an easy install too so that was nice.
