Ring 2nd Gen - Wiring to doorbell with speaker

hardwired-battery-video-doorbell

We recently got a Ring Doorbell2nd Generation and I went to wire it today but ran into an issue. The house was built in '93 and has a doorbell with a speaker. When I went to wire it in, there are more than two wires. There is a green, white, red and black. The green and white go to the button and the red and black go to the speaker. I think I would use the green and white wires and just cap off the black and red? I'm not 100% sure so wanted to ask here if anybody has ran into this particular situation. ![Doorbell|240x320](upload://94jBwQB57WJqPD3gBYo5nwdhkKj.jpeg) Hopefully the picture uploaded so you can see what I have. Worst case is I will just remove the doorbell and purchase a Chime but I'd rather use the existing house chime.

    Hi @DMax3.0TN. The Video Doorbell 2nd Gen is likely not compatible with the chime you have, given that it appears to be an intercom system with a speaker and the Doorbell is not compatible with chime/intercom systems. You can find a list of compatible digital and mechanical chime kits [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053138112-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2nd-Generation-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List) to help you decide on a replacement chime.
