In this video I show you step by step how to install the Blink video doorbell. I show the wired installation process. You need to download the Blink video doorbell app before you start the install process. It will walk you through the install process and let you know about important warnings and things you need to know during the install process. Make sure you are wearing the proper safety equipment and take all safety precautions while installing the Blink video doorbell. I will link a video at the end of this video showing you how to test a doorbell transformer and a playlist for my Fluke 117 if you want to learn about those please check them out.

…and if you wanted to use the wall anchors???
either wire to either screw?
Why does it still need batteries if I’m hardwired? You would think a 16 or 24 volt transformer would supply more paper than two AA batteries at 3 volts combined. Doesn’t make sense that I would have to keep paying for batteries if I have ample AC power.
All ways battery powered
Blink’s portrayal of the ‘wired’ option is misleading. The device is always battery-powered. The ‘wired’ feature solely allows it to work with your existing chime.
I believe Blink themselves may have realized this, as the packaging and amazon description no longer mentions ‘battery/wired’ as it once did but only long battery life
The way blink hardwired diagram connection is essentially a single-sided circuit, unlike Ring’s hardwiring, which involves modifying the transformer to provide power to the doorbell.
You can get kits that supply power to the battery but not tried it . returned back to amazon and got a ring wired one at greater cost
I’ll be posting this everywhere as Iam so 😤😤😤
very helpful. I have always just used batteries and get mad when they die. This makes Mme feel much more confident.
How long does the batteries usually last with out attaching it to a doorbell?
So 15 on the breaker? I Got it!
I did mine wireless but I can’t hardly hear so please HELP if you know the solution to it
Are those cables 110v? I tired to connect to 110v power bank and it says error e32. Do the bells use another voltage or something?
SOOOOO DID IT WORK???
Useless video
Thanks you put it in a way that’s very understanding 👍🏼
Copper wires aren’t making contact
Do you still need batteries for a wired install
Lame
For those confused why batteries are still installed. I’m told batteries are actually still needed to power the camera for functionality the wiring is for an existing doorbell internal chime will still operate if Blink Doorbell has ran out of battery power.
Very silly design decision because I was under impression it would power Blink device instead batteries 🤦🏼♂️
1:54 I thought I was the only one who used phone cable for the bell wiring. 🤣
Did you put batteries in the door bell or you don’t have to?
What Abt the ground wire?
This one does not work with his doorbell inside just outside, at the end of video he will not test if is connected inside of his house 😂
