I am looking to hardwire a Ring doorbell. Which model do you recommend? Is there one that works better for reliability? Thanks.

I think the Ring Video Doorbell Pro is the best choice if you’re hardwiring. It’s designed for that setup and is very reliable.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does it require a specific transformer or will a standard one work?

@Stuart
It works with most standard transformers, but Ring recommends one with 16-24V. Check your current setup to make sure it’s compatible.

I’ve been using the Ring Doorbell 3, and it works fine hardwired. The Pro is better if you want more advanced features like a slimmer design.

How is the video quality on the Doorbell 3? Is it clear enough for identifying faces?

@Stuart
The video quality is pretty good. It’s 1080p, and I haven’t had any trouble identifying people even at night.

Make sure to check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Even hardwired, the doorbell relies on Wi-Fi for video and notifications.

Good point. Do you think a Wi-Fi extender would help if the signal is weak?

@Stuart
Yes, a Wi-Fi extender can make a big difference. Place it between your router and the doorbell for the best performance.

If you’re in an area with extreme temperatures, I’d recommend checking how each model handles those conditions. Some work better in cold or heat.

Thanks, I didn’t think about that. Do you know which model handles cold weather the best?

@Stuart
The Pro and Doorbell 4 are both rated for extreme cold, down to -5°F. They should be fine unless it gets much colder where you are.
