Hardwiring Ring gen 1 to charge via a transformer

I have the resister from Ring and want to buy a transformer. One I am looking at in Australia is 220-240V -50/60 Hz75mA. Output 12 V AC- 1.2A . 15W Max. Would this work with the resister.?

Hi @Simoclan. If you're planning to install your Video Doorbell (1st gen) directly to a transformer without a chime kit, I'd recommend reviewing the installation instructions in our Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-au/articles/205180710-How-to-connect-your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-Generation-directly-to-a-low-voltage-transformer-without-a-pre-existing-doorbell). You need to use a low voltage 8-24V AC transformer for the Video Doorbell (1st gen), and a resistor is **required** in place of a mechanical or electronic doorbell kit for this alternate configuration to work successfully.
