Whats Included

Wi-Fi Smart Video Doorbell
Micro USB charging cable
Owner's manual

Q: How secure is the mounting? What's to stop someone from taking a small pry bar and yanking it off the door frame?

A: Nothing - if someone wants to take a pry bar to the frame they will get it - damaging both the ring and your door at the same time. There are built in theft deterrents that will make it hard to steal, but if someone REALLY wants it, they will get it. The good news is that Ring has a policy that they will replace the doorbell if it ever gets stolen so you will have that security blanket for the life that you are a customer.

Q: My existing doorbell is to the side of my door. Can I install the ring in a different spot so I can get a frontal view of my yard/street? If so how do I get rid of my old hardwired door bell and will I also need to buy a chime?

A: We have our doorbell to the side of our door! Can we install the Ring doorbell?

Q: Will this show video only when they push the button or will it show video based on movement or both

A: If you leave the motion detector on. It does both I can see when people leave and come to the house. And it saves the motion so I can see what time my kids get home at night.

Q: Is it hardwired?

A: They CAN be hard-wired into any existing doorbell system or if you do not have any current door bell, you can use the units internal battery that lasts several months at a time. Its pretty flexible.

Q: I have a front and back door.. Do I have to buy two complete units with separate apps, cloud files, etc? ?

A: Yes you do if you want the doorbell at each location. You can buy just the camera if you don't need a door bell at the back door.

Q: How much is it to get recorded on to the cloud a month and what are my options

A: 3 dollars a month or 30 a year. There is no storage on your phone. If you want to keep the video it has to be done in the Cloud which is not made abundantly clear on the box!

Q: Will my current chime work with this devise?

A: No. You'll need a RING Chime.

Q: Can this work on two phone?

A: Yes. You sign up with an account and then add others.

Works but...
1) audio is mute for a few seconds after the video starts. Trouble shooting and customer service were not much help, hopefully a software update will fix that in the future. Might not bother anyone else or maybe it's just mine, either way I live with it. 2) motion distance setting needs some work. While passing cars trigger a recording at 30 ft away, a person can walk up to my door and at times even begin to walk away before the motion triggered recording starts. I've set and reset motion distance settings but I hope with a future update it can be fixed. 3) motion recordings. I wish Ring would incorporate technology that is already being used with other security cameras. Although I don't know the exact lable for what I'm talking about, those with security cameras or dashcams will understand. When a motion is detected and recording starts, I wish the recording would save the first few seconds before motion was triggered. I'M NOT ASKING RING TO READ THE FUTURE. 4) Ring supply's just about everything needed to install their product, but those with an existing doorbell wired through a gang box might need to use there heads a little more. The gang box is to large for the Ring doorbell to cover the hole and no way to attach it to the wall. So while you remove your existing door bell cover from the gang/electrical box, don't break or toss out that cover. Reuse it or take the existing doorbell cover to Lowes, Home Depot or someplace you can purchase a cover. Match size and holes if purchasing a new cover to the color of your choosing. (It helps if you take the rear frame of the Ring so you can decide if you'd like a larger size cover). While there decide how you'd like to attach your frame to the cover, there are a number of ways. If you purchase new screws be sure they have a flat top, so Ring can be placed properly. After installing the new cover, place the template over the cover and mark the holes. I predrilled small holes I marked from the ring template while attached to the wall (stop the drill as soon as it goes through and back it out, just so your sure your wires aren't harmed). Overall, I love it. I don't have to rush downstairs to greet a rude solicitor. Sorry for any misspellings, grammar, or punctuation mistakes. Other than the gang box issue, Ring was easy to install.

Serves a great purpose
Our neighborhood was having delivery items stolen from their front doors, as well as prank doorbell rings at night, so I decided it was time to be proactive an get a video doorbell at our home. I researched multiple devices and opted for the Ring because we don’t have power to our front door area to run a doorbell, so I needed a video doorbell that could be self-sufficient and still functional enough to meet my needs. I also discovered that Ring had an optional Chime which I was interested in as we travel and have house-sitters for our dogs, and we wanted them to know when someone was at the door when they were staying. The Ring met our needs. The installation was easy, and the video is clear, both during the day and evening. They provide 30 days of cloud storage with the option of signing up for Ring to continue to record actives throughout the year.

Works great most of the time
The doorbell camera works really good for the most part. Except for when somebody rings the doorbell there is about an 8 to 10 second delay before it will ring on my mobile device and so people have to stand at the door for a while before I know that they are there. when we try to adjust the motion sensors, we can’t actually view the outside which kinda sucks to get the sensors just right. I will attach a picture of what we see when trying to adjust it and it makes it hard to get it just right. Other than that it’s good.
