Quick answer
Ring, Nest, and other video doorbells installed with proper power, transformer upgrades, chime compatibility, angle mounts, plus smart lock setup. Typically $150–$450.Typical installed cost: $150–$450
Video doorbells fail for one boring reason: power. Old doorbell transformers (10–16VA) can't feed a modern camera doorbell, causing dead batteries, dropped connections, and midnight offline alerts. We upgrade the transformer, sort chime compatibility, mount for the right field of view, and configure the app.
About Video Doorbell & Smart Lock Installation
The doorbell is the highest-value camera on the property, it sees every delivery, visitor, and porch pirate at face height. Getting it reliable is an electrical job: the 1980s transformer in the chime box was sized for a button and a bell, not a streaming camera that trickle-charges all day.
Our install upgrades the transformer (typically to 24V/40VA), resolves mechanical-vs-digital chime compatibility, mounts with wedge or corner kits so the camera faces the approach rather than the opposite wall, and finishes with motion zones tuned to people, not passing traffic.

Usually undervoltage from a weak transformer or Wi-Fi that barely reaches the door. We fix both, a 24V/40VA transformer and, when needed, a better access point placement.
Yes, we run doorbell wiring with a new transformer, or install battery models with a charging plan when wiring isn't practical. Wired is strictly better if the wall allows it.
Yes, motion zones tuned so you're not alerted by every car, family access shared, and the chime working. We leave when it works, not when it powers on.
Wired every time the wall allows: continuous power, no charging ritual, and features like 24/7 recording that battery models disable. Battery is a fallback, not a preference.
