  Hi @michael1234. You definitely can! While we do not have an official support article on this, you can learn more about what this looks like from this example here. If you're still unsure how to do the wiring, we reconnect contacting a local electrician!

  Information on the Ring website states that you don't need a resistor when hard wiring a 2nd Gen Doorbell: [https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360045514872-The-difference-between-the-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-generation-and-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2nd-generation-](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360045514872-The-difference-between-the-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-generation-and-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2nd-generation-)

  [But look at the description of the resistors application in the Ring store:](https://store.ring.com/products/wirewound-resistor?) [https://store.ring.com/products/wirewound-resistor](https://store.ring.com/products/wirewound-resistor)? Just adding to the confusion................

  Hey neighbors! I'd be happy to clarify further on the Doorbell verbiage in this thread. Rather than the Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) mentioned in this [Help Center Article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360045514872-The-difference-between-the-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-generation-and-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2nd-generation-), this thread is discussing the 'Video Doorbell 2'. The Video Doorbell 2 was the model prior to the Video Doorbell 3 and Video Doorbell 3 plus, whereas the 'Video Doorbell (2nd Gen)' is the new and improved version of the original Video Doorbell Classic model. At Ring, we are always inventing on behalf of the customer and continue to build upon the devices our users know and love. That's why we're excited to bring users Ring Video Doorbell 3 and 3 Plus, and the next generations of Ring Video Doorbells, which brings our customers enhanced security features. Of course, we will continue to support Ring Video Doorbell 2. Our [Doorbell Comparison Guide](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004668746-Ring-Video-Doorbells-Product-Comparison) should always have the current models listed, but may not always include older models, despite our continued support of them. I hope this clears things up! :)

  Thank you Marley, your link [Help Center Article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360045514872-The-difference-between-the-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-generation-and-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2nd-generation-) is exactly what I was looking for as it clearly states: **"No, resistor not needed when hardwiring"** for the Ring 2nd Generation Doorbell and "[**8-24 VAC (40VA max) and 50/60Hz**](https://eu.ring.com/products/plug-in-adapter-for-ring-video-doorbell-pro?variant=27964127346711)" matches the Plug-In Adapter in the Ring Shop. Can you confirm if the Plug-In Adapter comes with a 3-pin plug when shipped to Ireland as the description only states European outlet and shows a 2-pin plug?
