‘Change’ the sound, using one of the three workaround methods that I discuss below.

Learn to live with it, and hope that your visitors do as well.

Lower the volume, or turn if off completely, to stop startling your visitors!.

Marley_Ring, 20th November 2019, Ring Community ForumsĪs a result of not being able to change this sound, you have a few options available to you: Whether they’ll offer this feature in the future or not remains to be seen, but Marley (who works for Ring) did say the following in November 2019 when someone asked them on the Ring community forums:Īt this time you cannot change the tone that sounds from your Doorbell’s speaker when the button is pushed… This sounds like an excellent feature request, in which we’ve seen other neighbors share interest in such a feature as well! Consider this shared with the team. Unfortunately you can’t currently change the external Ring doorbell sound: this just isn’t a feature that Ring offer. I’ve actually turned mine down to 50% volume and this thankfully doesn’t startle my visitors anymore!Įqually you might want to change the outdoor sound during Halloween, 4th July celebrations – or on various other holidays and events. Whilst it’s the same as the default internal Ring chime sound, it can still seem abrupt to your visitors – especially at the default 100% volume which can be quite loud. The external Ring doorbell sound is the following: Ring doorbell outside ringing sound. If you haven’t already, plug in the Chime into any outlet and then tap “Continue”.5) ‘Changing’ the sound #4: wire up an external doorbell chime The outside Ring Doorbell sound Start by opening up the Ring app on your phone and tapping on the “Add Device” button at the top. To set it up, the process is very similar to the Ring Doorbell itself. Without it, you’d just get notifications on your phone–so you’ll probably want the Chime.

If you choose not to take your existing doorbell wires and connect them to the Ring Doorbell, you can buy Ring’s $30 Chime that plugs into any outlet and emits a ding-dong noise whenever the Ring Doorbell is pressed.

Step Three: Install and Setup the Ring Chime (Optional)

The instructions guide you through this process, but more likely than not, you would probably have to re-route those wires in order to hook them up to the Ring Doorbell, which isn’t exactly easy, but it’s at least an option. Luckily, this process is pretty easy and doesn’t require any wiring (unless you want it to).Īlternatively, you can install the Ring Doorbell by taking the wiring from your traditional doorbell and hooking it up to the Ring so that your existing doorbell chime will sound whenever the button is pressed. However, it still needs mounted outside next to your front door.

Tapping on your Ring Doorbell unit at the top will display different settings and options that you can play around with to customize your Ring Doorbell, including customizing alerts, adding shared users, and changing the motion settings.Īfter the Ring Doorbell is all set up, you can start using it to receive alerts and record video. You can filter them by only showing recorded events when someone pushed the doorbell button, or when motion was detected. Otherwise, the Ring Doorbell will only allow a live view of the camera.Įither tap on “Learn More” at the bottom or “Close” in the top-right corner to continue.Īfter that, your Ring Doorbell will be all set up and you’ll be taken to the main screen where all of your recordings will appear.
