Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are the best cameras I ever had. The Quality of the picture the sound and the app are amazing. You get alerted on your chime and on your cell phone. They have so many options. I also got the outside camera with the solar panel, so I don’t have to change the battery. I have it set that the spotlight goes on when there is motion. The chime also has a nightlight you can turn it on or off From the app. So easy to use once they’re all set up. I had them installed by Best Buy. They did all the work and set up. Super easy!

This upgraded video doorbell has great features. It’s clearer, records a larger area and has some cool features for ring tone sounds. For example halloween theme ring tones. I can interact with anyone through the came clearly. Well worth the purchase and easy to install. Amazon also has a compatible case to use on apartment door to prevent theft.

This Ring camera works so much better than the older version. I highly recommend it! The adjustable view lets you see more, and it covers my entire patio with ease.

This is my second ring door bell device. I like how it will show on my tv's and my Elexa . Please don't let greed outpace the yearly fees.

This doorbell has been a great asset to me. Between receiving responsive notifications and ease of access for communicating between me and said person at my door, I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

I love the ring. It works really well. I like that it capture videos set up easy connectivity easy works with my Samsung fridge if you have the pro

I had an older one and decided it’s time to upgrade. The new one I got had a way better video quality and new features like the birds view. So far I am really happy with the new gen ring doorbell cam.

The doorbell offers a great sense of reassurance. The birds-eye view feature is quite impressive as it allows you to observe people approaching the building. The signal strength is excellent, and the concept of having an external battery without any wires is truly appealing. Installation was remarkably simple, and the sleek design is very appealing. I wholeheartedly recommend this product if you desire a sense of security at your front door. I primarily bought it for the purpose of capturing events when packages are delivered.

Simple easy to install does what it has to do.And i'm happy as can be

THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Im usually home by myself, my husband works out of town so it definitely comes in handy. Will recommend to friends and family

Best update to an old Ringdoorbell that doesnt charge. No more recharging of battery ;)

I had a Fantastic experience, the customer service was excellent, professional, and assuring. I walked away feeling like I had made the best possible purchase to suit my situation. This is the feeling that every customer should have when making any purchase. I commend the company for the training provided to the store representatives and applaud the employees for using that training to create satisfied customers.

Ohh, this is definitely the most useful item to have in case you miss packages

I've been wanting one of these ring bells for a while now, and I am so happy to finally get this added measure of security to my home. I am very pleased with it, and love the app.

Very good wireless battery doorbell. High quality.

I’ve been using Ring Doorbells since the first generation. Each new generation typically offers small updates over the ones before it, and the battery doorbells have changed very little in appearance since the first model. On the plus side, they still use the same rechargeable batteries, so you can reuse any you have left over if you’ve owned one before. On the negative side, the appearance is getting dated – bulky, blocky, and not very attractive compared to other models (wired models). The Ring Doorbell Pro offers some new features that nudges it above the mild updates from the past. It now offers a video resolution of 1536 x 1536 pixels, that while not a huge leap over past 1080p models, still does offer a bit more detail. The dynamic range (details in dark and light areas) is improved, and the field of view is now wider vertically so you can see someone from top to bottom, including packages at your door, as opposed to older models that just showed you images side-to-side and were blind at the foot and floor level. The Pro model also will now work with 2.4 ghz as well as 5 ghz WiFi as opposed to 2.4 only, as per most of the older models. There are a ton of customizable features on the battery Pro model (some require a subscription to access) that include the ability to have motion detection only for people (or even to detect packages), a birds-eye detection for greater reach, color night vision, better audio than previous models, and the usual ability to create zones where you can block out detection, expand it, and more, such as a choice of messages (or none) when someone rings the bell. Once you install the Ring app and create an account (if you don’t have one yet), you can just add a device, choose the Pro model, scan a small QR code on the side, and follow the instructions to install it; a number of steps, but it doesn’t take that long. Once done, you can install it outside with four screws, secured fully once you pop on the front faceplate and put a tiny security screw in the bottom. The battery comes with some charge, but you really should charge it fully first time around, and this may take a few hours with the included micro-USB cable (no USB-C yet??). I suggest buying an extra battery (around $29 or so), so you can have one charged and ready to swap out, rather than having to wait on just one battery to charge. Battery life will vary a good bit, depending on your settings, video clip length, and how often it’s triggered. Unlike past models, installing this one was fiddly. For some reason, the app did not want to add it for notifications properly, and wanted to keep defaulting to the previous model (which I still plan on using on another door). I had to delete the previous model, and still call tech support who had to tweak several settings to get it working. So this one, for me, was not “plug and play” as in the past. The Ring Battery Pro works best if you subscribe to Ring’s monthly service, which allows you to save video for future viewing, and unlocks every feature on the doorbell. It will still work without a subscription, but you will only be able to view video live when motion is triggered or someone presses the doorbell, and your phone is notified. Subscribe, and it will save videos for a good amount of time so you can download or share them if needed. So, after using it so far, I have found that the increased resolution is A LITTLE better than my older model… but not a lot. The field of view is definitely better though, and while you do get a noticeable fisheye effect, you now can see in front of your door at foot level for packages more effectively. The color night mode is subdued – it’s not a bright saturated color, but does look better than the older black-and-white only views. Sound and connection are moderately better than the older model and once the bugs were ironed out in the app, notifications are working reliably now. Overall, I think the Battery Pro is better than my older second generation. Now… is it better enough to warrant $200 give or take, for the price? Depends on your priorities. I do like the wider field of view and better night vision, as well as the slightly better connection and tweak in resolution. I didn’t like the buggy installation issues, the now getting outdated looks of it (that basically look almost just like every other battery model before it). I think the retail price might be pushing it for some for a doorbell, but only you can decide if it’s in your budget or not. I do wish for the price they would include a second, darker, faceplate (currently an option). I do recommend this version. It’s doing what it says it will do. Home security gets more important each year, this will be a compliment to a whole system.

I've tried off-brand video doorbells in the past, but I didn't realize what I was missing until I installed my first Ring doorbell. Not only am I impressed with the field of view, intelligence, and clarity, but also with the features of the app. Ring has covered just about everything you would need in a doorbell camera. Setup took me about 30 to 45 minutes, including installing the doorbell, downloading the app, and creating an account. The unit is approximately 4.5 x 2 x 1 inches. I charged the battery overnight to be sure it was fully charged. Once charged, you simply slip the battery into the bottom of the case, tighten the screw, and you're ready to go. I shared my Ring access with both my wife and teenage son (who often orders food deliveries). The default ring is actually quite pleasant – a wind chime-like alert that you'll quickly become familiar with. There are many options and features within the app, including: Setting custom detection areas: You can draw a field of vision for your camera to pinpoint where it should detect motion. This comes in handy if you want to avoid areas like a neighbor's door. Personally, I like to see the activity going on around me – it helps me gauge the safety of my neighborhood. Snapshot Capture: Takes snapshots every 3 minutes to an hour to give you an idea of what's happening between events. Motion Frequency: Adjust how often the camera checks for motion (frequently, regularly, or periodically), depending on your preference and battery life concerns. Video Recording Length: Set this from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. The default is 30 seconds. Event History: There are numerous filters to narrow down events, and settings to prioritize the specific types of events you want to see. Mode Settings: Choose between three settings (Disarmed, Home, and Away) to customize your camera behavior depending on whether you're home or not. You might set indoor cameras to detect any motion while you're gone, or just noise detection. Upon returning, change the mode to "Home" to focus notifications on outside events. Linked Devices: Connect Ring smart lighting and cameras to your Ring doorbell. Alerts Snooze: Temporarily turn off alerts if you need a break or when expecting visitors. Power settings: Check battery levels and change settings to conserve battery power if necessary. Device Settings: Video: Configure night vision, HDR, Color Night Vision, Live View, PIP, and Recording Length. Snapshot Capture: (Explained above) Notification Settings: Customize which alerts you want and when you want phone notifications. Privacy Zones: Set privacy areas within your camera's field of view. Chime Settings: Configure the doorbell to use a traditional chime or transformer. General Settings: Name your device and set your home location. Smart Responses: Set up automated messages for visitors. Shared Access: I shared access with my wife and son so they could have all the same features and view the camera when needed. If you want to view your event history, you'll need a Ring Protect Plan. My Ring Video Doorbell Pro came with a 30-day Protect trial. There are three plan options: Protect Basic: Stores and shares videos from one device, includes Snapshot Capture, helps avoid unwanted motion alerts, shows photos of visitors in notifications, has Home and Away modes, and simplifies video downloads. Protect Plus: Covers all devices, adds Priority Alerts and Live View PIP, and extends warranty. Protect Pro: Includes Emergency Services alerts and a Virtual Security Guard feature, where a security professional monitors videos and can dispatch emergency services if necessary. The features that really stand out to me are the exceptionally large field of view (approximately 160 degrees) and the excellent app, which includes a neighborhood watch feature. Additional high-tech features I enjoy include the 3D motion detection radar, which uses an aerial view to map a subject's approach – this really improves the accuracy of alerts. The field of view is smart too; while it's wide, I don't get too many notifications about neighbors, unless they're clearly coming towards my apartment. I did get an alert when the lawn was being mowed! The app is feature-rich - I haven't seen anything comparable, and I've tried several brands. It took about an hour to read through the options and completely tailor my setup. I like a large field of view, frequent alerts, and high-resolution video even if that shortens battery life. Still, the battery lasts an impressive 2.5 weeks for me. The unit comes with a USB-style charger. If you've had a Ring doorbell before, they just keep getting better! There were features I didn't even know I wanted. Now, I have myself, my wife (on package alert!), and my teenage son (watching out for his food deliveries) all monitoring the doorbell app. It's hard to beat the features, clarity, and excellent app integration. I highly recommend this doorbell. The neighborhood app is a bonus - neighbors have been very active sharing info on everything from lost pets to, sadly, stolen packages and burglaries. It's reassuring to know what's happening in my area. Pros: *Large field of view *High resolution *Excellent app *Good battery life *Neighbors social feature *Highly customizable Cons: *Monthly fee to view video history *I surpisingly missed a couple of visitors. (I might need to fine-tune my field of view, not sure yet) Even though it's not perfect, it's still deserving of a 5 star rating. It's just so much better than another brand I used, it's not even close.

Ring - Battery Doorbell Pro Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell - Battery-powered with Head-to-Toe HD+ Video I am using the Ring - Battery Doorbell Pro as a upgrade to my Ring peephole camera. The camera video has been upgraded to 2K, slightly better than Full HD 1536x1536, The fisheye lens (hence head to toe) has a larger field of view and since it is a fisheye it slightly distorts the imager. The image of people is clear enough to be a good identifier. Connection is now through 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (802.11 b/g/n/ax). I chose 5.0 GHz as this is a better connection for streaming video. It uses the same battery as the older model with the mini-d USB power connection. I can’t tell power usage since I have only had this for a week, but the older unit lasted a long time before needing to recharge (I didn’t use any motion capture and didn’t have pre roll). After a week of use and minimum frequency of motion frequency I have 88% power. There is also an option to hook it up to a doorbell power supply or solar panel. Since I mounted this to my door I didn’t test the power option. You are provided with a charging cable but no charging brick. The night vision has improved and has a good picture that is clear day or night. You will want to keep the Protect Plus plan since it covers multiple cameras and keeps your videos in the cloud in case you need to offload some video or pics for the police or insurance. The Birds eye view is good for virtualization of movement and tracking of the camera view in relationship to the position the camera is mounted on your house. I do have a wedge added and can see all the way to the foot of the door. It also has plenty of head room with a view several feet up from the top of the door frame. I would like to note here that a lot of the options that are available for earlier models will work with this but to make sure if you use any addons that you select some that state they will work with the Battery Doorbell Pro. Response time is slightly faster for answering the door ring and I am sure that improvement is due to the updates in the device, software and the fact I am using the 5.0 GHz connection. Delay to answer the door is only a couple of seconds. The auto answer is a nice feature and is customizable. There is a 30 second delay when someone leaves a message. Sound and audio were clear on both the receiving and transmitting end. Tweaking of the camera settings will be refined with time and usage to customize how I want to use the system. I preferred the Ring peephole camera for having the electronics and the battery on the inside of the home. The current software has more features but there are a few things that could use improvements. Since I share camera and access with my Son where we can act as backup for one another. It would be nice if we had the option to make the other person an Admin so all the features are available at our discretion. Having limited control when we prefer to have all features available when sharing limits tweaking certain features or customization for different situations. An example is that when one of us is away from residence we may want to boost up some of the security features like taking more scheduled snap shots. My wife on the other hand just uses the base features. Not the prettiest camera out there and some of the competition instead of using a fisheye lens have multiple cameras on their unit but I find the fisheye squarish picture adequate and the limited distortion of people that the videos the camera takes is good for identification and most people wouldn’t even notice any distortion especially centered in the framing. And more generaly equates to higher cost and complexity.

Title: I don’t love the look, but it’s still the best doorbell out there Verdict: While I wish the Ring doorbell was slimmer (about all competitor doorbells are smaller), I still think that Ring is the best doorbell in the industry. It responds faster than another competitor doorbell we have, the image is clearer, the new wide-angle view is better than competitor options, and it’s compatible with Echo devices, including the Echo Show (it shows who is at the door on the Echo Show screen)!! You don’t need to buy a separate chime if you have any Echo devices in your home. The main downside for me is that I have all my house cameras from a different company but I use ring for the doorbell, so I have to switch apps. Initial Impression. It’s about the same size the older ring doorbell we have, but the finish is nicer. I like the push release battery pack. Setup. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. I charged the battery first, as recommended. I used the angled base because on my original ring (installed flat on the wall), a person standing at the door tended to be at the edge of the video. The angled base provides much better centering of people in front of the door, but I guess it doesn’t matter as much anymore because of the wide-angle view. I already had a ring account so setup was very quick, beside the mandatory software update and answering a dozen questions to help setup the device. We kept the old Ring doorbell and moved it next to the garage door, and we are using this new one at the front door. Integration with the Echo is automatic, I think because the previous Ring device was also already integrated with the Echo and because I am signed into my Echo account in the Ring app. We did not have a hardwire doorbell, so we love that this can be mounted anywhere, powered by a battery, and connected over WiFi. Of note, birds eye view is not helpful if you live in an apartment complex because you can’t select an overview of locations inside of a building (obviously). Performance. Overall, this camera works very well. Movement detection is reliable from what I noticed in just a few days of testing. Night vision is excellent (see picture). Resolution is very good, but the fisheye view makes it a little more difficult to recognize a face because of skewed perspectives. I still think it’s an improvement based on increased field of view left-to-right, and top-to-bottom. Notifications are fast and integration with an existing chime or Echo device is wonderful. You can setup detection zones to get alerts for specific areas, and ignore others (like a flag that flaps in the wind or a tree branch that moves a lot). Audio performance is clear, and easy to hear and understand. Things I love: - Compatible with Echo for alerts and Echo Show for video!! - Very responsive video on cell phone - High-quality resolution, wide field of view, and great night vision - Birds-eye view coverage selection is cool, but doesn’t work for apartment buildings - Very rapid and smooth setup when you already have a Ring account - Excellent microphone pick up on the camera Things I don’t love: - I wish the overall Ring camera ecosystem was better so that I could fully switch to Ring for everything, instead of having Ring as my doorbell and another brand of cameras for security. It’s getting better, but it’s not there yet. - The battery is still on micro-USB… I think it’s my last device using a micro-USB in the house now… Why?! - For the price, the camera should offer some form of basic recording after the free trial is over… maybe it’s just a rolling 12h, or maybe a six-month free trial. $4.99/month is not bad for a single camera, but it’s yet another subscription in an age of subscription everything; it adds up. We pay the monthly subscription already and will transfer it to this new camera when the trial is over, but I will not pay another $4.99 for the older camera we moved by the garage door because I don’t need full features there. Overall, the Ring camera doorbell is still the best doorbell option on the market, especially if you already have a Ring account, and even more if you are a subscriber and/or part of the larger Ring security ecosystem. The doorbell camera provides fast and high-quality video, and it is compatible with Echo devices. I loved our old Ring doorbell, and love this one even more! While $200 is pricey, I think it’s worth it for the capabilities is offers.

I’ve been really happy with this Ring doorbell so far. The setup was quick and straightforward, and I had it up and running in no time. The video quality is very clear, and I love the head-to-toe view—it makes it easy to see packages on the ground as well as who’s at the door. The motion detection works well and sends notifications right to my phone, which gives me peace of mind whether I’m home or away. The two-way audio is also a great feature and sounds clear on both ends. Battery life has been solid, and I appreciate not having to deal with complicated wiring. Overall, this is a great upgrade for home security and convenience. Definitely worth it!
