Critical functional design issues to consider
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an assortment of Ring products (thousands of dollars invested) in Ring floodlights, doorbells, spot cams, chimes, etc. I also have other brands of camera systems (Arlo, Simplisafe, Logitech, other non-consumer brands, etc. ). I’ve mostly been involved in non consumer projects related to these devices. There are three major deal breakers for me with the current Ring systems. 1. NO REMOTE RESET CAPABILITY - If your Ring system goes down for whatever reason (i.e. power failure, software glitch, wifi connection issues etc.), there is NO method to reset the system remotely. You have to physical access the Ring device and press a button to reset it. This is ridiculous design. This might not be a problem if your system is physically at your primary residence or if you never go on vacation, but if not, your system could remain inoperable until you can physically be at that site. So.... when you go on vacation and your house experiences a power failure, you may not be able to use your cameras until you return. If you have a second residence, rental, or business that is remote and your cameras go offline, in my case it can be months until I can get to those locations. My other camera and system brands CAN be reset remotely. I do not have to be physically present to get them back up and running. 2. INADEQUATE WIFI ANTENNA AND CHIP. When I contacted Ring about my issues, they said this was a known issue. In one of my applications with Ring, my cameras are 6 feet line of site, 20 feet line of site, 15 feet through one wood wall, and 3 feet line of site, and door bell 15 feet line of site. Another property I have 15 feet through one brick wall. Even at these close and unobstructed distances they are severely limited and unreliable connections. I have not experienced this with other camera brands. 3. NO ALERT OR COMMUNICATION VIA TEXT OR EMAIL THAT YOUR CAMERA IS OFFLINE OR NOT WORKING - My other cameras and security systems let me know when the system is down. I can get text, email or opt out and get nothing at all (not sure why you would not want to know that your security system or parts of it are down). Ring DOES NOT CONTACT YOU WHEN YOUR SYSTEM IS DOWN. I found out two week later that my remote cameras were down and only so when I happen to look on the app (I suddenly realized Ring was a bit too uite). I could have easily been robbed without knowing since my Ring cameras (that I depend on) were not operational. This is unacceptable for a security system. My other brands notify me via text or email when my system or cameras are down within seconds when they are down and when they come back up. --------- My current personal Ring systems (that I also use to demo for businesses) goes down at least every 4 to 6 weeks due to various condition such as power outages, wifi connection issues, or hardware/software glitches. Sometimes they come back up... but 50% of the time they do not and I have to reset the system, if and only if, I have physical access to the camera. The power outages are not Rings fault, but I do have all Wifi equipment on backup power supplies that keeps power to the network infrastructure for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep in mind, my other camera brands always come back up when the power is restored ( our power outages last anywhere from 30 seconds up to 8 hours but typically are a few minutes ). I first brought these issues up with Ring five or six years ago shortly after Ring changed their name from Doorbot ( I was an early adopter). Each year, I would report the same thing. This last time I contacted them (March 2020) I received a very competent and experience senior support tech person (not going to mention their name to protect them and because he was up front and honest and cared about his company and customers). That person’s response - "No, it's not you... I've been at Ring for quite a long time and we hear about Wifi connection complaints all the time from our customers. Unfortunately, upper management has known about this issue for some time but have not taken our internal recommendation to resolve the issue... these are very cheap and underpowered chipsets and antennas which is why your non Ring cameras from other manufactures don't have those same connection issues within the same or very similar environments. We (Ring technical support) have also brought up the remote reset issue as well. I don’t know why they engineered the product this way, but upper management refuses to listen to us or the customers... I absolutely love working fo this company but its very frustrating for tech support to deal with angry customers when management doesn't listen to their us about customer complaints." I have to mention, Ring did come through with an acceptable agreement with me regarding my yearly service (appreciate that Ring), however, I’m stuck for a few months (or more with COVID19) without cameras protecting my remote property. Final Thoughts Ring is a security company. They have recently included home and business security systems to compete with Simplisafe and others. I am a technical cyber and physical security professional by trade for 30+ years. I've designed physical systems for fortune 100/500/1000 companies, government agencies and made recommendations to family and friends for their homes. I have in-depth hands-on day-to-day experience with multiple camera and security system brands and technology (including legacy IP cams and closed circuit). I do not work for a security manufacture or sell security products. I am consultant who is product agnostic and selects the best and economical security solution based on threat and risk profiles that fits the particular agency, company or private consumers unique situation and needs. We have a phrase in the business - "Security is only as Good as your Weakest Link". In my opinion, I would absolutely not buy these systems until these issues are addressed. If you’re currently invested in the Ring ecosystem and effected by similar issues, I would let your opinion be known to Ring as well as delay any expansion or upgrades until fixed. No camera system is perfect. Each has their advantages and shortcomings. Ring products do have several nice features and in some ways better than other products. However, bottom line, if they 1. Can't connect reliably and consistently with Wifi, 2. Cannot communicate when the system is not working, and 3. Can't remotely reset - they are not providing critical functions needed in a security system, and in some cases, creating added risk of undetected property theft or personal injury. Do your research and choose wisely before investing. Wishing the best for Ring. Thankful for their technicians honesty and offering some resolution with my yearly subscription. As in most situations, Best Buy is the best place to purchase technical equipment especially with their price matching guarantee, extended warranty and Geek Squad support.
