Ring Pro 2
New Ring Pro 2 will be available on the market this week.2 questions I am wondering - 1) I currently have the Ring Doorbell Pro installed professionally to the fuse box. I am wondering if the ring pro 2 is a straight swap of the doorbell with the old ring pro without needing to alter its current wiring setup and straight using the current wires on the Pro 1?2) My current Pro 1 is quite blurry using the night vision and looking at its videos - will the Pro 2 be much clearer and focused?Many may not know the answers yet as pro 2 is only just been in the market but I would like to know the answer to the above prior to my decision to upgrade.Thanks

Hi. I thought this was proper thread to ask this... We are building a new house and I already ordered hardwired Pro 2 with chime. Was it a mistake? We live in Finland so there is a transformer included. I thought there would have been a power kit also to connect doorbell straight into transformer (via power kit). But no, there is only the transformer. So shall I return this or is it possible to connect without existing doorbell/wiring?

THi @Nypa. It is possible to connect your Ring Pro 2 without an existing power source. All you will need is the Ring Plug-In Adapter to complete this. You can find more information on this [here](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2). I hope this helps

NHi @Tom_Ring I already ordered Hardwired Pro2 with Chime and have it in my hands. There is DIN Rail transformer included. Can I use that to connect Pro2 straight up or shall I return this package and re-order different set (which is with Plug-In Adapter)? I read something about Pro1 that there cou

BAll you need to do is get power to the transformer and then wire the Doorbell in. If you have a lighting circuit near the front door, anything to get a live feed into the transformer. You can then put the transformer into a small single din enclosure somewhere out the way. You don't need resistor

THi @Nypa. You can chose either option for wiring you Ring Pro 2. The Plug-In Adapter is ideal for neighbours who may not have wiring going to their mains. If you do have Doorbell wiring going to your mains, the included transformer will work for the Ring Pro 2. I hope this is helpful.

NHi @Tom_Ring. Okay that's clear. We will have a technical room and this DIN rail transformer will be mounted in or by the side of our main electrical board housing. Hook the transformer to mains and wiring goes to front door to the Doorbell. Got it. My electrician will do it.

I am based in U.K. does the transformer near the fuse box need to be changed?
