Ring - Wired Doorbell Pro Smart WiFi Video Doorbell - Satin Nickel

I’ve owned A ring doorbell for the past four years, but had the first generation and I’ve been wanting to upgrade. So I bought the ring doorbell, pro 2 when it went on sale for Black Friday. It is considerably smaller than the first generation one so I did have to drill new holes into the masonry of my house. However, it was very easy. The ring doorbell app walks you through the entire process of of the set up, including video animations. The angled mounting bracket was perfect for my house as I needed that for the location of the doorbell. next, connecting the tiny doorbell wires is perhaps the hardest part of the process because they are so tiny to hook it onto the screws of the doorbell. But after five minutes of Messing around I was able to connect it. Once connected, connecting the doorbell to the ring app was a cinch and instantly recognized and connected through my network. It auto updates so that takes an extra few minutes, but everything is automatic and you just have to wait a couple of minutes. As far as performance is concerned, the ring doorbell pro two is a huge upgrade over the original. Visual clarity and resolution of the fish Lens and viewing field is fantastic. My wife was impressed with the improvement. Additional features, including Birdseye view when when viewing footage is a cool feature. Night vision and clarity are great as well and love the upgrades. Also, with the purchase, Ring offered a free skin for the doorbell. And I selected one that matched our door. Very nice. The recordinglinkage to our ring video Camera is seamless Overall well worth improvements. I highly recommend this product.

We recently upgraded our home security system to the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, and it’s been an excellent addition. Although the installation process was a bit of a challenge, it went smoothly. Since this model is wired, I first shut off power to our existing doorbell and followed the included instructions to connect the Ring to the old doorbell wires. Thankfully, everything I needed was included in the box, including a handy little screwdriver. Once I had it mounted and turned the power back on, the device powered up and guided me through the setup process using the Ring app on my phone. Within minutes, I had a clear live view of my front porch. The video quality is outstanding. I can easily spot packages left on the ground and even discern the visitor’s entire face from head to toe. The motion detection on the Ring Pro 2 is incredibly smart. Initially, I was concerned about receiving constant false alerts from cars or pedestrians on the sidewalk, but the customizable motion zones solved that issue. I drew an area specifically covering my front walk and porch, and now I only receive notifications when someone actually approaches my door. The system is accurate and quick; I usually get the alert on my phone and Alexa devices a second or two before the person even rings the bell. To enhance our security, I integrated the Ring Pro 2 with our Echo Show. When the doorbell rings, the Echo automatically displays the camera feed and announces the visitor’s presence. My wife and I find this feature incredibly useful. We can now politely yell “be right there!” through the two-way audio, regardless of our location within the house or even if I’m out in the yard. The two-way talk is clear, and I’ve used it to instruct delivery folks to place packages in a safe spot. They often seem surprised to hear a voice from the doorbell, but it’s been a valuable tool. One incident truly solidified our decision to invest in this security system. A few weeks after installation, late one night, we received a notification and noticed someone we didn’t recognize lurking near our porch. The Ring Pro 2’s motion detection system promptly alerted us, allowing us to take immediate action. I was able to activate the built-in siren from the app, which effectively chased the prowler away. The fact that I had clear video recordings of the incident (including the faces of the individuals involved) provided us with valuable evidence that we presented to the local authorities. The only downside is the subscription required to access recorded videos beyond the live view. After the 30-day trial period, I decided to opt for the Ring Protect plan because I believe it’s worth the extra few dollars per month for the video history and advanced features. Now, I have all motion events securely stored in the cloud, which provides me with peace of mind. Additionally, since it’s wired, if your existing doorbell chime doesn’t work with the Ring system, you might need to use the Ring Chime or an Alexa device for alerts. In my case, I disabled my old chime and now rely solely on our Alexa speakers for notifications. Overall, this video doorbell has significantly enhanced our home security and convenience. It’s like having an ever-vigilant sentinel at the door, giving me a sense of connection and control over who visits my property. This peace of mind is priceless for our well-being.

I purchased the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 as an upgrade to the older model I had, and it has been a game-changer for home security and convenience. The video quality is outstanding, providing crisp, clear images. I'm particularly impressed with the head-to-toe video feature, which ensures I never miss a detail. The advanced motion detection and custom motion zones have been incredibly effective. The Ring app is user-friendly. I appreciate the additional features like the Bird’s Eye View and 3D Motion Detection, which provide a more comprehensive understanding of what's happening around my property. For anyone looking to enhance their home security with a smart doorbell, I highly recommend the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2.
