Installing Pro Power Kit to Bypass Your Doorbell Chime

If your Video Doorbell Pro is not functioning correctly (even if your doorbell transformer supplies 16 volts AC at ~30 VA) you may need to install an adapter, such as the Ring Pro Power Kit, to bypass your internal doorbell chime. See below for installation instructions.

Confirm your doorbell isn't getting enough power

Symptoms of insufficient power can include:

• Regularly losing connection to your wifi network
• Freezing up or shutting down during the chime sound after a button press
• Regularly shutting off
• Freezing during a live event
• Not ringing your existing internal doorbell chime properly or fully
• Night vision doesn't work despite being turned on in the Ring app
• Video Doorbell Pro works fine for a couple events, then stops working
