How to link a camera or doorbell to your Chime

Ring Chime, Chime Plus, and Chime Pro play audible alerts in your home when a linked Ring camera detects motion or a linked Ring doorbell is pressed.


Before you start

Make sure you have the following:

  • A Ring Chime, Chime Plus, or Chime Pro installed and set up in the Ring app
  • One or more Ring cameras or Ring Video Doorbells set up at the same location in the Ring app
  • The latest version of the Ring app on your mobile device

Your Chime and Ring cameras or doorbells must be set up under the same location in the Ring app, but they do not need to be in the same room.
