Video Doorbell (1st Gen) wiring
Hi Have just been given a Video Doorbell (1st Gen) wanted to know what i need to do to get power to the unit as I don't fancy having to charge it. Currently i have a Bell chime thing not sure what its called looking to take this out wanted to know if i would have to replace it with this https://en-uk.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/din-rail-transformer-gen-2 and this https://en-uk.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/enclosure-din-rail-transformer so basically wanted to confirm if the transformer i mentioned would work with this model

The power adapter would not be possible as no power near the door and i wanted to avoid putting new holes for cable which is why i was looking at the DIN rail as can reuse the power to the current bell and reuse the cables already in the wall. Also the specs look very similar to the power plug you listed what are the differences? if i got 2nd gen would the DIN rail work then?

THi @jamiei543. I apologize, as there was an error in my response. The DIN rail transformer is *NOT* compatible with the 1st Gen Ring Video Doorbell. The only power source that is available and compatible with that doorbell would be the Plug-In Adapter Gen 2.

Hi @jamiei543. Neither of the DIN rail transformers you've selected not are compatible with the 1st generation Video Doorbell. I would suggest using this [Plug-In Adapter Gen 2](https://en-uk.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/video-doorbell-plug-in-adapter-gen-2) to power your device.
