If your doorbell camera (Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, or Eufy) isn’t working properly, it could be due to insufficient power from your existing transformer. Many smart doorbells require a higher voltage transformer to function efficiently. Upgrading your transformer can fix issues like inconsistent video, delayed notifications, and frequent rebooting.

Upgrade Your Doorbell Transformer for Reliable Power
If you’re experiencing power issues with your smart doorbell camera, it might be due to an outdated or low-voltage transformer. Doorbell cameras from brands like Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, and Eufy often require more power than standard doorbell systems provide. Without the correct transformer, your camera may have problems like delayed responses, poor video quality, or even complete outages.
Common Power Issues with Doorbell Cameras
Doorbell Camera Not Working or Powering On
One of the most frustrating issues with doorbell cameras is when they stop working entirely. If your doorbell camera won’t turn on or there’s no video feed, it’s often a sign of insufficient power from the transformer. Upgrading to a higher voltage transformer can restore functionality to your Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, or Eufy doorbell camera.
Buzzing or Humming Transformer
A buzzing or humming sound coming from your doorbell transformer is a common symptom of a failing or outdated transformer. This noise indicates the transformer is struggling to provide adequate power, which could lead to system failures or overheating. Replacing the transformer eliminates the noise and ensures your doorbell system functions properly.
Poor Video Quality or Video Lag
Are you experiencing blurry or pixelated video, or is your doorbell camera feed lagging? Low voltage from an outdated transformer can cause poor video quality or slow performance. Upgrading your transformer will provide the necessary power to improve the clarity and speed of your camera feed.
Delayed Notifications or No Alerts
If you’re getting delayed notifications—or no notifications at all—when someone rings your doorbell, the issue could be related to power. Smart doorbell cameras like those from Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, and Eufy require a stable power supply to send alerts in real-time. A transformer upgrade can help resolve these delays and ensure you’re notified instantly.
Frequent Rebooting or Power Cycling
Does your doorbell camera keep rebooting or resetting? Frequent power cycling is often caused by an inadequate power supply. Upgrading to a higher voltage transformer can provide your doorbell camera with the stable power it needs to function without interruptions.
Low Voltage Warnings
Many smart doorbell systems will notify you of low voltage issues directly in the app. If you’re receiving low voltage warnings, it’s a clear sign your transformer needs an upgrade to support the power demands of modern doorbell cameras like Ring Pro, Google Nest Hello, and others.
No Chime Sound When Doorbell is Pressed
If your doorbell chime isn’t ringing when someone presses the button, this can be a sign of transformer issues. Insufficient power to the doorbell system can cause the chime not to work properly. A new transformer ensures your chime rings clearly every time.
Doorbell Camera Disconnecting or Going Offline
A doorbell camera that frequently disconnects or goes offline is often caused by an unstable power supply. By upgrading your doorbell transformer, you can provide consistent power to your camera and prevent connection issues.
Why Upgrading to a Higher Voltage Transformer is Important
Most doorbell systems are equipped with transformers that only provide 10-16 volts of power, which is insufficient for many of today’s smart cameras. Models like the Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Google Nest Hello, and Arlo Wired Doorbell need a higher voltage transformer, often up to 24 volts, to operate correctly. Upgrading your transformer ensures that your smart doorbell has the power it needs for optimal performance.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Doorbell Transformer
Reliable Doorbell Camera Operation
A new transformer ensures that your doorbell camera operates smoothly and consistently. Whether your camera has stopped working or is not turning on, upgrading the transformer provides the stable power needed to avoid these issues, ensuring your smart doorbell functions properly.
Eliminate Buzzing or Humming Sounds
If your current transformer is making a buzzing or humming sound, it’s a sign of strain and potential failure. Upgrading to a new, higher voltage transformer will eliminate these annoying sounds and prevent further damage, keeping your doorbell system running quietly and efficiently.
Improved Video Quality and Faster Response
With a higher voltage transformer, your doorbell camera will receive the power it needs to deliver sharp, high-quality video and fast response times. No more blurry footage or lag—just clear video and real-time monitoring that you can rely on.
Instant Notifications and Alerts
A properly powered doorbell camera ensures that you receive instant notifications when someone approaches your door. If delayed alerts or missing notifications have been a problem, upgrading your transformer will restore your doorbell’s ability to keep you informed in real-time.
Prevent Rebooting and Power Cycling
Tired of your doorbell camera constantly rebooting or power cycling? A new transformer provides the consistent power your camera needs, preventing those unwanted restarts and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operation.
Resolve Low Voltage Warnings
Upgrading your transformer is the best way to resolve any low voltage warnings you’re seeing in your doorbell app. With the right transformer in place, your camera will receive sufficient power, eliminating those warnings and improving overall performance.
Ensure Doorbell Chimes Work Every Time
No more missed rings—an upgraded transformer ensures that your doorbell chime will work reliably every time someone presses the button. This is especially important if your chime hasn’t been functioning properly due to low power.
Stable Connection and Less Downtime
A new transformer will also reduce connection issues with your doorbell camera. If your doorbell has been going offline or losing connection, a transformer upgrade will help maintain a stable power supply, keeping your camera online and functioning consistently.
