Before you begin setup
An existing wired mechanical doorbell is required to use Wyze Video Doorbell v2. The existing circuit must have a minimum voltage of 16V-24V and power output of 10VA.
Important: A 16V 10VA transformer is at the low end of the power supply spectrum. Wire age and other wiring conditions can affect how well it powers your Wyze Video Doorbell v2 or rings your mechanical chime. Please consider your wiring and transformer before continuing.
An existing in-house mechanical chime is also required, though it is not required to be functional.
