How is the outside door bell unit powered?

I assume it is attached to the wall.

does a hole need to be drilled through the wall to connect to the household wiring?


Thanks,

Peter T.

The doorbell has to be installed outside like your standard doorbell. I had someone sighted do that for me. Actually, I had a professional do it for me. I think that’s all you would need, accept I went further by purchasing a wireless chime that was place upstairs so if the doorbell was rang then it could be heard in every echo in the house plus your smart phone.

It’s been several years ago since I bought the equipment.

Ring Chime Pro - $44.99

Ring Video Doorbell 2 - $134.99

Installation was $58.49.

Just remember this was 3 years ago.

Hope that helps.

Yes that’s what was looking for and asfter when asking.

So how do they come and are they wired or wireless?

I have the Alexa devices from amazon plus my iPhone and google home too.

Are they expensive?

Thanks.

Hi Don,

When asking about accessible doorbells, what do you mean by accessible? How accessible would you like it to be?

I also use the Ring doorbell and I have it integrated with everybody’s  iPhone who lives in the house plus our Echo devices. Any time anyone nears our house porch we receive announcements that it detected motion. If someone rings the doorbell we have the option to either pick it up via the Ring app on our iPhones or the Alexa by simply asking Alexa to answer doorbell. For those who can see can activate the camera on their phones and see who is at the door. Unfortunately, it doesn’t identify the person for me yet. I’m hoping that’s near in the future with the advancement of AI. But for now I love it since we are notified any time we have a package dropped off and if anyone is home then we can immediately retrieve it.

I’m not sure how it integrates with the Google Home, but with the Echo devices you can download, what they call a Skill with the Alexa app and as long as you have a Ring account establish then you can sign into the Ring Skill and integrate it with your Echo. It’s pretty awesome!

Hope that helps some!

    I was wondering what anyone suggest or recommend as the most
    accessible and also affordable doorbell system is for a single
    widower person living in a small size condo that can be accessed
    with various devices like iPhones, google home or Alexa and how
    easy are they to set up?

    Thanks.
