Hi Community I need help in installing my video doorbell 2nd gen with solar charger. Tried watching few YouTube video but couldn’t figure out. What i understand is video doorbell 2nd gen is in two parts: doorbell itself and mounting plate. And solar charger is a separate item. Do I need to install doorbell WITHOUT mounting plate on solar charger or WITH it ? In case it’s with the mounting plate, I couldn’t see adjacent holes for screws ? In case it’s without the mounting plate, same confusion. Pls guide after looking at the pics and try to explain in simplified terminology or please share a video that includes this specific installation. Surprised to see Ring hasn’t had a single video explaining connecting doorbell to solar charger. Thanks in advance

    Hello your problem is that you have a 2nd gen ring door bell With a 2nd gen solar charger. Ring Solar Charger (2nd Generation) for Battery Doorbells are to Extend the battery life of your Ring Video Doorbell 3, Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus or Ring Video Doorbell 4 with the help of a solar power source. The mounting screws are in different places so are not compatible. You need to swap the charger for a 1st gen or the door bell for a 3rd gen. When there the same, you will be able to put the solar charger up on the wall. then screw the mounting plate for the door bell to it, then plug the door bell in to the charger then screw the door bell to the mounting plate.
