Hello all,
I have purchased Ring Video Doorbell. {wifes idea}
This runs off a battery {that has to be recharged periodically} or can be wired into a pre-existing doorbell circuit.
I dont have one of those and getting a wire to to the CU will be a nightmare, and I dont have any spare slots.
So I have been searching for a transformer solution.
Ring state on their info pages .... "Yes! If you don't have an existing doorbell, it's possible to connect a Ring Doorbell directly to a low voltage 8-24V AC transformer."
My question is .. I have a mains plug socket near my door. Can I buy something like this ..

and house it in a box and run a mains lead to the socket? via a fused spur?
Or am I missing something in its Use / Output / Connections etc .. or is their an easier solution
All answers greatly appreciated
Jason
