Connecting your Ring device, such as a Video Doorbell, is a straightforward process initiated through the Ring mobile app.
To begin setting up your Ring device, follow these steps:
- Open the Ring App: Launch the Ring application on your smartphone or tablet.
- Select "Set Up a Device": Within the app, navigate to the option that allows you to set up a new device.
- Choose Your Device Type: Select the specific type of Ring device you are connecting. According to the reference, if you are setting up a video doorbell, you would select Video Doorbell.
- Name Your Ring: You will then be prompted to name your new Ring device. This is especially helpful if you plan to have multiple Ring devices in different locations (e.g., "Front Door," "Back Gate").
These initial steps guide you through the software setup within the app, preparing for the physical installation and connection process. The app will continue to guide you through subsequent steps, including connecting to your Wi-Fi network and physically installing the device.
Setting up your device through the app first is crucial as it links the device to your Ring account and prepares it for operation.
