Wired doorbell with no chime box

Question

I cannot find the 'right' answer to my question. My place has an existing doorbell that is currently wired back to nothing. Meaning that I do not have a chime box. I measured almost 0V at the doorbell so I am also assuming that the transformer is missing. How do I connect up my wired Ring doorbell if I do not have a chime box?

Hi @mrl3086. This depends on which model of Doorbell you are attempting to install. If you're asking about the [Video Doorbell Wired](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-wired), it requires an existing doorbell system, the [Ring Plug-In Adapter](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2), or a transformer for power supply (10-24 VAC, 40VA max, 50/60Hz). If you do not have a transformer leading to your front door wiring, the Plug-In Adapter may be a better option. Otherwise, you will need to get a compatible transformer installed.
