Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi JaimePeri.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. It is critical for a home security device to have enough power to keep your device online and ready to protect you. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the battery life concern that you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like you are using the Ring Solar Panel with your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus to help extend the battery life of your device. We are happy to share some steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal battery-life performance. The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using "Live View" can also drain your battery faster. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner.

To prevent excessive activity, under "Motion Settings" for your device in the Ring app, you can:

Adjust your "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a lower sensitivity.
Redraw your "Customizable Motion Zones."
Change "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.

You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.

To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app:

Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage."
Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length.".

If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, we invite you to reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.

Hi GailTeicher, I understand the importance of having your Battery Doorbell Plus ring your internal chime kit. While this is a battery powered Ring Doorbell, it can be hardwired to an existing doorbell circuit to ring a compatible chime kit. You can reference the installation instructions here https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/13096312125332. Once the doorbell is properly installed, it should ring your chime kit when someone presses the button. If you still have questions, feel free to ask other neighbors on the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. Best, Ashley from Ring.

Hi ChristyP.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We understand how critical it is for your hard wiring to function as intended in order to supply power to your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus. It is critical for a home security device to have enough power to keep your device online and ready to protect you. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.

It sounds like your device is not receiving enough power to stay charged. When connecting to an existing doorbell system, it should be hardwired to a transformer rated between 8 and 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 5VA to 40VA. When your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is wired to your home's electricity and receiving power, the ring on the front of the device will display a solid white light.

From package deliveries and motion detection to visitors, you’ll see it all from wherever you are right in the Ring app.

A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range.
