Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Ring Battery Doorbell is the latest refresh of Ring's Smart Video Doorbells, which have become almost a must-have for anyone. Having that peace of mind that you can always check in on any package delivery and knowing that it will be there waiting for you to get home or knowing when people stop by or having the option to talk through the speaker to them in real time add that additional level of security that make it well worth having. The new refresh brings better battery life and wider "head to toe" viewing angles, both of which seem to be accurate from what I can tell from my use. Ring has made set up super simple to follow along with in the app and they always have sales going on too, so you can always wait and get one at a lower price, but they are well worth the regular price anyway. The previous owners of my house had left behind a bracket for their ring camera, so I had been looking to get one anyway. I was happy to see that the new bracket lined up perfectly to the pre-existing mounting holes, so I used the same screws that were already in the front wall and didn't have to drill any new ones. I charged the new doorbell and popped it right on and followed the rest of the set-up through the ring app. The app has tons of information available about the doorbell and you can configure away to your liking on what you want to receive notifications for and the area you want to monitor, etc. I have it set up to get alerts when someone is near or of course pushes the button and it also records those moments in the ring app. I like being able to check in and watch live from work if I want to. I even got a notification about it picking up a person on my porch and when I went to watch it, it was 3 little kittens running around playing. It was a nice break to sit there and watch them play before running off. Other than that one time though, the software has been very good at detecting actual humans and not picking up cars or people walking down the sidewalk or anything like that as people approaching the door. I live on a busy street so I had wondered about how it might affect that, but it has done a great job so far. In conclusion, I think these Ring Doorbell cameras have become kind of a no brainer to have for anyone. It is a small expense that over the long run becomes very useful to have. The doorbell comes with a free trial of "Ring Protect", but even without the subscription, I think it;s still worth having.

I’ve been using the Ring Doorbell Camera for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with its performance. The video quality is sharp, both during the day and at night, and the motion detection works flawlessly. I love how I can see, hear, and talk to anyone at my door right from my phone — even when I’m not home. The installation was simple, and the app is very user-friendly. Notifications are instant, and the live view feature makes it easy to check what’s happening outside anytime. The two-way audio is clear, and the built-in siren adds an extra layer of security. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind it gives me. Whether it’s keeping an eye on deliveries or just knowing who’s at the door, it’s been a great addition to my home. Highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to upgrade their home security system!

This is my second video doorbell from Ring. This latest model has an internal battery and can be used wirelessly or hardwired versus my hardwire-only unit. The unit comes with a USB-C charging cable, release tool, wall mounting bracket, security sticker and installation hardware. Note that it doesn’t come with a USB wall adapter, but you can plug it into any powered USB port for charging. There are screw terminals adjacent to the charging port giving you the option to hardwire the doorbell for permanent power instead. This is convenient if you already have existing wiring and a compatible transformer, so you won’t have to take the doorbell down to charge it. The doorbell unhooks from its mount with a simple press of the tab on the underside, which doesn’t specifically require the included release tool; a flathead screwdriver would work just fine, but that means it isn’t secured well against theft or tampering. The amount of time the batteries last will depend on your settings, ambient temperature, and how often video is recorded or the camera is accessed and for how long; on average the battery life of mine decreases by about 2% each day. You’ll need to download and install the Ring mobile app to a smart device in order to setup the doorbell. App setup takes around 5 minutes and requires you to create or log in to a Ring account, while installing and mounting of the camera took me an additional 5 minutes to complete. You can optionally link your Ring and Amazon accounts, which enables features like Alexa voice commands and Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery. The purchase and setup of a new Ring camera includes a 30-day free trial of a Ring Protect Plan, regardless of whether or not you’ve had a trial in the past (current subscribers excluded). The plan offers video history up to 180 days for every Ring camera in your home, 24-hour event summaries, discounts on other Ring products, and multi-cam live view. You’ll also be able to enable smart alerts that detect people, packages, or general motion with the option to record and/or send an alert for these events; every live view session will also automatically be recorded. Videos and snapshots within your history interval will be stored on the cloud where you can download them at any time while you have an active subscription. Without a plan, you’ll only be able to watch live view of the doorbell and respond to motion and doorbell notifications when they happen in real-time, but video is not recorded or saved. The integrated camera features a head-to-toe, wide field of view with 1440p HD video, color night vision, and 2-way talk. The video is square and its frame size is 1440 x 1440 pixels. The visible image is circular with vignetting of the corners (blacked out) and a slight fisheye effect that causes distortion of proportions as you move outward from the center of the image. This, however, is an acceptable trade-off in order to view nearly straight down to the area beneath the doorbell, making it more likely that packages placed there will be visible on camera. There are wedges for the mount, sold separately, that you can use to tilt the camera to face a different angle, if needed. When someone is standing in front of the doorbell camera, in live view you can use 2-way talk to communicate through the app and the unit’s built-in microphone. Audio quality is good, and you can generally hear and understand conversations in front of and directed at the doorbell. The speaker quality on the doorbell is also pretty loud and clear so your visitor should have no trouble hearing you. When the doorbell button is pressed, I receive push notifications on my phone, and the Alexa speakers throughout my home "ring" and make an announcement. Announcements can be enabled for person or motion detection, though you can customize detection zones separately for motion, people, and packages to lower the incidence of nuisance alerts. At night, the night vision infrared lights create a black and white image that is as bright, detailed, and clear as daytime footage. Optionally, you can enable color night vision which adds color to the image, though note that this will not retroactively add color to previously recorded nighttime video with the setting turned off. Overall, the Ring Battery Doorbell (2024) is a decent smart doorbell camera with good audio and video quality but requires a subscription to get the most out of it. As a doorbell, all of my Alexa speakers become chimes, and I don’t have to run any wires. However, I can always convert it to be permanently powered by wire if I don’t want to keep taking the doorbell down to charge the battery every few months. With a subscription I can rest assured that I'll be notified of events like motion, people, and packages and have recordings going back 6 months.

This is our 3rd ring product in our ecosystem, we also have a wired flood light and battery powered stick up camera. This doorbell was easy to add to our app, just charge it when you get it, once you detach it from the power cord, it will automatically enter pairing mode for you to join it from the app. If the paring mode does time out, you can still scan the QR code on the back of the doorbell to also get it added to the ring app that way as well. Since my door molding is not wide enough to mount the camera to, I do have the ring's siding mount coming in the mail. For testing, we held the camera against the siding and took a photo to figure out what height we will need to mount this at when the siding mount does arrive. Overall, the view didn't seem to change moving the camera higher or lower by a foot in either direction. I did take stars off for 3 reasons, 1) because this has an integrated battery, once the battery needs to be replaced, you will basically need to toss the entire device and purchase a new one, instead of just getting a new replacement battery; 2) the battery did lose 6% in 9 days without anyone "ringing" the bell or us using the live view feature more than 2-3 times & to charge the battery, you need to use a special removal tool (in the box) to detach it from the mount to bring the entire doorbell into the house for charging, and 3) the kit didn't come with a mount to attach this device to siding, so I have a separate order with that mount coming in the mail/separate purchase. If all of these annoy you as well, then look at the pro-grade cameras...for now, the pro version still has a replaceable battery that can easily be swapped in without having to remove your doorbell every 30, 60, or 90 days to charge it.

I have always wanted a video doorbell but wasn’t entirely sure where to start there are many on the market and with a handful of ring cameras I didn’t think I would need one. I know there are a whole lot of versions of this available and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I must admit I am very pleased. :::General Thoughts::: If you have owned a ring camera then you should know what to expect in terms of reliability and the product overall. I have stick up cameras and I have bought some new and refurbished and luckily not even one has failed me yet. Everything you need is in the box, bracket, usb type c cable, doorbell itself and a quick release hook to remove the doorbell from the bracket. It took less than five minutes to install the bracket, and about two hours to charge the doorbell itself with the built in battery. The doorbell itself snapped in place and is sturdy and setup is as easy as it gets especially if you have other devices. It is worth noting that this model is not the one with the quick release battery. That may or may not be a big deal to you so please take that into account if that is a feature you desire. Charging the doorbell camera was easy with the included usb c cable and it has a neat charging battery indicator on the doorbell button. It displays the battery life in a circular ring and it will let you know once it has been fully charged. I have two cameras facing different views of my front entrance and added a doorbell camera and I love it. Most of the blind spots I had are now gone, and with the wide angle lens the camera has it is impressive and I feel the clarity is a tad better than the stick-up cameras I have. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - Easy to install - Long lasting battery - Two-way talk - Good resolution - Alexa compatible - Excellent night viewing Cons: - Non removable battery Most people should be familiar with ring cameras they have a lot to offer like Alexa compatibility. Being able to view your camera from an echo device (5,8,10,15) is a neat feature and you can talk to your guest or visitor from there too. It is a nice feature if your phone is not nearby. It is also worth noting that there is a subscription service that is essential to get the most out of your device. Like all my other cameras calls are clear and the audio is crisp. I noticed that my apartment has old school thick walls that do not allow for the best wireless signal strength. I went and bought a ring chime pro to aid with that I am hoping that will improve the signal strength of my outdoor cameras. :::Closing Thoughts::: Overall, the ring doorbell is a great addition to my home as it allows me to monitor what is happening at my front door and see if packages are left there and communicate with food delivery service drivers. The viewing angle is amazing and does truly work as advertised with head to toe viewing angles. I hope the battery will last for years that is pretty much my only concern as with this model it can not be removed. I will most certainly replace with a newer model in the future with a quick release battery version. :::TL;DR::: You want a video doorbell that works and is easy to install and use and is reliable with lots of features then look no further.

In general, having security cameras is one of the ways to maintain a certain level of security at home. Having a doorbell with a camera that allows you to see who is outside before you open the door and be able to interact as if it were an intercom but from your cell phone, is something highly recommended. Ring has good quality products that work well and are durable, this device is no exception. In the box comes the doorbell with camera, a usb-a to usb-c charger cable, a plate to install the device as well as screws and plugs for that purpose, a sticker, a quick guide and warranty documentation. I like the design, it is minimalist, it comes in black with silver color with a ring that lights blue when pressing. The installation is simple, the first thing is to download the app and connect the charger to the device, then in the app you must follow certain steps to install the doorbell (you can also connect it wired and this will avoid having to remove the doorbell to charge it every time, but it depends on the needs of each one). Then the same app will guide you to configure the doorbell (you will have to create an account to use and configure the device). Once installed and configured the doorbell will be ready to use. I think it is important to take a little time to configure the different functions to which we have access as well as the use of the device in combination with other devices and voice assistant as Alexa, you can create routines with different types of functions, modify the security modes for when we are at home or away from home. The device itself has a section where you can change the camera settings, video quality, audio, microphone volume, speaker, night mode, activity zones, etc. Undoubtedly the Ring app is so complete. You can get a great advantage with this device because there are many features and options available in the app. Regarding performance the camera has a very good 2K video quality, night mode pretty good too although the color night mode option falls short. The sound quality of the speaker and the quality of the microphone are outstanding, it is usually a section where other devices fail but this doorbell achieves it very well. Notifications despite having a slight delay are very effective, both with motion detection as well as when someone rings the doorbell. The battery lasts long enough, however, depending on which configuration we choose will be the duration we get, for example if it is installed in a place where many people pass and have activated the sensitivity levels to the maximum and notifications of each event, it may not last the battery. It is important to configure the device according to the desired result as well taking in account the area where it'll be installed. In conclusion, I think this doorbell with camera is very well designed, has very useful features, a very complete app that allows you to get the most out of the device and also at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a wireless doorbell with camera that gives you greater security and control in your home, this doorbell with camera is a highly recommended option.

Ring is well established as the leader in doorbell & security cameras. They offer many models of doorbell cameras, each with unique features. This Smart Wifi Video Doorbell is ideal for a second entrance, since it is battery operated & often the second entrance is not wired to power a doorbell. This doorbell camera is outfitted with a fisheye lens that enables head to toe viewing, albeit at slightly more distortion on the edges than a conventional lens that would only show a narrower field of vision. This Ring doorbell camera offers excellent low light capability & very good image quality. However, as I walk past the camera it occasionally misses me & simply does not capture my movement. I checked my WiFi at the doorbell; I receive excellent signal strength there. The primary concern I have with this doorbell camera is that the internal Li-ion rechargeable battery is not removable. This means you have to keep (and not lose) the unique curved tool that is included, and use it to remove this doorbell camera from the wall mounting bracket, plug the doorbell into a USB-C cable (included) & plug the cable into a USB-C wall adaptor. After charging, remove this doorbell camera from the cable & snap it back on to the wall mounting bracket. CONCLUSION: This Ring Smart Wifi Video Doorbell is improved over last year's model; however I recommend wiring this doorbell if at all possible in your application. If that is not possible, Ring offers a solar adaptor that fits behind the doorbell. Wiring eliminates removing the doorbell to charge the battery & provides a more robust connection. I recommend this doorbell; Ring manufactures quality products & this doorbell is no exception.

Ive had this for a few weeks and it works great. The picture and sound is really good for the price point. Install only took a few minutes and the battery is long lasting. Will definitely be buying again.

Sooooo I have owned many door bell cameras over the years and Ring was my first doorbell camera that I owned and it hooked me into expanding my security system. Setup was straight forward.. Make sure you either charge the doorbell or connect it to a hardwired system and you can get the software all up and running. Good thing with ring is that it does not need another relay device to run your existing hard wired chime. It has.one built in. I have installed sooo many door bells in front of my house that the screw and anchor pattern in my stucco can basically take any doorbell mounting pattern. But since I already had an older ring doorbell this was easy to mount with 1 exception. This doorbell did not come with a plastic base to help with wire wing nuts. So I had to improvise a bit since I got rid of my other ring systems. This new doorbell has better features than previous years. This generation has better low light color camera vision. The image quality is better and the AI behind detection has improved. The other good feature is that you have a community based network to post things happening to warn others of incidents etc. The only downside ring is the subscription fee. If you are ok with the fee and you like simplicity then this is the doorbell form you. Good job Ring. You have improved from when I last owned one of your products. With that in mind and from what I have tested and know of other products I would recommend this product for what I have stated above.

Using the Ring Battery Doorbell (Venetian Bronze) for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with its performance. Setup was quick and easy, even without hardwiring. The battery holds a solid charge, and recharging is straightforward.

I have a couple of previous generation Ring doorbells and cosmetically, this latest version doesn’t look much different and is still appealing. It can be hardwired, but I like that it is also wireless and operates by battery since I don’t want to run wiring where I wanted it installed. The doorbell comes with everything you need to install it – doorbell, mount, screws, charging cable (but no electrical plug), and the tool needed to remove the doorbell for charging. I’ll go ahead and say right here that I think having to remove the entire unit for charging is a very inconvenient design flaw for battery users. I much prefer the removable battery as it greatly minimizes the doorbell’s down time when you have a spare battery charged and ready to go. It’s better to be down for a few minutes than several hours or more while the doorbell recharges. Of course, one could always purchase a compatible solar charging kit, but to me, that’s only charges as well as the light it gets. If you can place the solar panel in an optimal area, then you won’t have to remove the doorbell as much for charging. Since I already have the Ring app and Alexa devices, once the battery was fully charged, installation and syncing were pretty quick and easy. I had to drill a couple of holes to attach the wall mount, but that only took a few minutes. Scan the QR code on the back of the doorbell, follow the app prompts and you’re, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re set. The video quality is better than previous versions in that it picks up more area and more of a person’s body. The night vision is slightly better also, but audio quality is about the same for both two-way talk and live view. A Ring cloud subscription is still needed for video recording retention though. Now, my reason for not giving this doorbell version a higher rating. Remember that plastic removal tool that it comes with? It works great, but the doorbell can also very, very easily be removed with a paperclip, or dare I even say it…a toothpick. (Yes, we tried removing it with both). This design flaw poses a major security risk, especially when the doorbell’s primary purpose is monitoring point of entry. Ring needs to go back to the drawing board on this point. Using the previous removal tool may have taken a few minutes longer to remove the doorbell, but I’d prefer that than the mere seconds it takes with the new design. Quicker removal does not equal safety and security here.

The Ring Battery Video Doorbell is packed with features designed to enhance your home's security. A standout feature is its impressive 2K resolution, which captures video in a square format that provides a unique "head-to-toe" view of anyone at your door. This is a noticeable upgrade from many standard 1080p doorbells. ​The device also offers seamless 2-way communication, allowing you to see, hear, and speak to visitors from your smartphone. For nighttime use, the integrated color night vision delivers a clearer and more detailed image than what you'd get from traditional black-and-white models. Furthermore, the doorbell is remarkably user-friendly, with a streamlined design that makes it easy to install and set up through the Ring app. ​While the doorbell is highly functional on its own, an optional Home Premium plan is available for $20 per month. This subscription adds a host of advanced features, including: ​AI-generated video descriptions of what the doorbell sees. ​ Continuous 24/7 video recording, moving beyond just event-based clips. ​ The ability to view live feeds from up to four cameras on a single screen. ​ A Smart Video Search function that helps you quickly find specific events within your video history. ​ Overall, the Ring Battery Video Doorbell offers a robust set of features, with the optional subscription providing even more advanced security and convenience.

Was very surprised with ease and excellent picture quality well worth 60 bucks battery seems to last forever

Absolutely love our Ring doorbell. It was simple to set up, the video quality is clear and the battery life is great. I use it on my door in my apartment complex and have had no issues!

This is our second ring doorbell. I like the ease of installation and the fact that it doesn’t require power but is rechargeable. It has been a week since installed and battery is still at 90%. I think the battery life is going to be as good if not better that our old model.

I’m very satisfied with this product. It works perfectly, performs better than expected, and the setup was super easy. Definitely worth the money and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for quality and reliability.”

I’ve been a Ring customer for many years now, and have found their products and ecosystem to be very reliable and affordable. This is the first time I have tried a battery powered camera, the rest of my collection are all wired. I have to say that while the overall performance of this new battery doorbell is good, it pales in comparison to the wired counterparts I have installed in other locations at my home. I installed this on a secondary entrance to my house that does not have any way to hardwire a doorbell, and it is very close to a mesh unit for my wifi. However, in spite of the nearby WiFi it regularly disconnects, and when it doesn’t have internet issues it simply misses motion entirely. I have exited my house from this particular door a few times since installing it and it has completely missed me passing right in front of it more than once. The motion sensitivity setting is even set to be at a higher level than my other cameras that never miss a beat. It just feels a lot less reliable than what I’m used to from years of experience with my other Ring devices. Its not all bad however, as the build quality and video quality are both excellent. It feels premium and the head-to-toe video is a nice thing to have matching up with my other doorbell which is the pro model that also shares that feature. It charges with USB-C on the backside which requires removing it from the mounting plate when needed. It does not include any sort of wedge to change the angle at the install location so I had to buy an adapter separately to get the angle I needed which is also unfortunate. Setup was simple and quick and installing it including mounting my adapter was easy. You can hardwire this doorbell optionally if you have the ability to do so, and I would recommend that if you can. But for those who cannot, the battery life appears to be less than stellar as mine is at 64% after less than a week of being installed having put a full charge on it first and only having recorded half a dozen motion events in that time. Motion detection is spotty, and it can take quite a while longer to wake it up for a live view than on the wired one I have. It is overall better than other video doorbells I have used from competitors, but not as good as Ring’s own offerings from higher up on the ladder which makes sense. My own experience may be slightly skewed due to the hardwired nature of my other devices making this one feel like it’s hampered in comparison, but I also feel like there are certainly worse options out there which is why I’d still recommend this doorbell depending on your individual situation. What this proves to me is that hard wiring is still king but given no other options it’ll still do a decent job with a few drawbacks.

greatest invention ever, i go up and down from nyc/vermont/fl and i have one to 3 at each of my properties, the app itself has an amazing community that all looks out for eachother, i’ve gotten notifications about how stuff is going on in the neighborhood (car checking, snooping, dumpster diving, etc) very easy to set up i think a 12 year old can do it.

Love everything about it! Easy to install, great battery life! Camera great quality images & videos clear, not grainy. Easy to use!

I recently installed the Ring Doorbell Camera, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase! The setup was incredibly simple, and the app interface is user-friendly and intuitive. The video quality is crystal clear — both during the day and at night — and the motion detection feature is impressively accurate without being too sensitive. What I love most is the real-time notifications that allow me to see who’s at my door no matter where I am. The two-way audio feature is a bonus — I can easily speak to delivery drivers or guests even when I’m not home. The added sense of security is priceless, and the peace of mind knowing I can check on my home anytime is truly reassuring. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality smart doorbell camera, I highly recommend the Ring Doorbell. It’s definitely worth the investment!
