Q: What is the battery life? How quickly does it charge?
A: I installed mine on November 24, 2019, the system prompted me to charge my battery on January 6th, 2020 and the battery was only at about 40%. I live in an apartment complex so I get a fair amount of alerts during the day - 9-15. I left it plugged in overnight but I think the documentation says it take about 3 hours to charge the battery. Hope this helps!
Q: I have 2 doors, will I have in the box 2 doorbells or do I need to purchase a second 1?
A: Each package contains only one peep-hole, doorbell, camera. You will need multiple packages for multiple doors. Also - you won't need the additional plug-in alert part (for $25). The tone from the unit on the door is plenty loud!
Q: Can I get someone to install for me? Cost?
A: If you’re switching out a normal peephole for the Ring, don’t hire anyone. It’s very easy to do via the directions in the box and they even give you the tool to remove your existing peephole.
Q: Why do you need to drill a hole?
A: For the peep hole camera there's no need to drill any holes or deal with any wires!
A: Yes, But first the device must be installed in place of the existing peephole and you must have WiFi (internet) in you house as well as a smartphone with the Ring app installed. Once the camera is installed and set up, you will have a 30 day free trial during which the videos will be saved. After the 30 day trial, you must sign up for the storage service or the videos will no longer be saved. The service will cost $30 per year for one device and all videos will be saved for 60 days after they are recorded. The videos can then be viewed on your phone at any time for 60 days or they can be downloaded and saved indefinitely for your use anytime. After the 60 days, if videos are not downloaded, they will be erased.
Q: Will this peephole cam still be functional with a security door installed?
A: I have a glass storm door in front of the door with the peephole. This camera does not detect motion through my glass storm door! Very disappointing!
Q: Does this need to be hard wired?
A: No, it runs on battery... I like it better then the doorbell the quality is great !
Q: Can I use this with my front door which is wired
A: Yes, I use both.
