A:AnswerYes, if you want to store or review videos, you’ll need to pay a yearly fee (which is around $30). Otherwise it’s live feed only. There is a grace period, but then that goes away.
A:AnswerHello! I do not know if Best Buy can help you install the Ring Video Doorbell, but any handyman can help you install it. The Ring Video Doorbell can either be battery-operated, which will need to be taken off the wall to recharge, or can be hard-wired connected, which will not require periodically being taken off the wall for recharging. I had replaced my original doorbell with the Ring Video Doorbell unit. My original doorbell was removed and was replaced/rewired with the new Ring Video Doorbell. Works like a charm! If you want to place it in a new location which has stucco, there should not be a problem with installation. It comes with a plate which is attached to the wall with a few screws. A few screw holes will have to be drilled into your stucco wall. After the plate is attached, the unit just slides & clicks on to the plate and is further secured with another screw (unit to wall plate). If it is not hard-wired for electricity, then the unit will have to be taken off the plate periodically for recharge. How would you know when to recharge? You will be able to see the level of charge on your app or website, when you sign into your account. Hope this helps! This Ring Video Doorbell is wonderful for better security. Highly recommend!
A:AnswerYes it can work that way, it will notify your phone or Alexa if you have her set up to learn the ring doorbell. Or you can get a wall outlet chime to use. Possibilities are endless.
A:AnswerHello Harry,
If you've hardwired your battery-operated Ring Video doorbell, you may wonder why your battery may occasionally need to still be recharged. Unlike a purely hardwired Ring doorbell such as the Ring Doorbell Pro, a battery-operated doorbell does not use the electricity generated by the hardwire to power its regular operations. Instead, it uses the provided rechargeable battery to do all of its regular operations like ring, detect motion, and generate a Live View. The charge from the hardwiring supplies a trickle-charge to the battery. As a result, depending on what functions the doorbell is performing, the battery may drain faster than the hardwiring charge can keep up with. Therefore, there’s a need to occasionally recharge your battery. Here is a helpful article regarding this question: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/204252980-Charging-your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-battery-with-hardwiring.

A:AnswerHi RJDRING.
Thanks for asking. Select Home Mode when you want the outside cameras or doorbells of your house activated but want to be able to move freely around the inside of your home. You can decide whether or not each of your cameras detects motion.
Select Away Mode to fully secure your house when you leave. You can set all of your cameras, both inside and out, to record your home in this mode. You can decide whether or not each of your cameras or doorbells detects motion.
