Needed a new doorbell to replace my old skool push with chime so I've order a Ring Video Doorbell Wired. The existing wiring is still in place - I've removed the box that contained the chime and connected the wiring from the transformer to the bell push side directly. The transformer is mounted beside (but outside) the CU, but is currently disconnected. The transformer is a Friedland D753 rated at 8V 1A AC.
While I wait for the Ring to arrive can someone please advise whether this transformer is likely to work? The Ring requires 8-24VAC, so it's at the minimum of that range.
I've seen discussion that the transformers for those old skool doorbells are designed for short periods of activation i.e. when the bell push is, er, pushed. That's worried me slightly because my understanding is that the Ring can supply continuous live video.
