Works great. Held off for the longest time. Everyone seemed to have one, so I was curious & decided to jump on the band wagon. Decided to go with Ring because
1. It’s everywhere; great adoption rate.
2. Didn’t like that there was an annual fee, but the fees would help in one of 2 ways:
A. You get access to your recording. One less thing you have to worry about. No need to buy your own storage medium/external device.
B. The fees would help Ring further develop their product & help improve it over time; thereby helping to prolong lifeline of the product for years to come.
3. Ease of use. I needed something that was easy to operate for myself and the family.
4. The app is easy to use & well designed.
5. I get lots of package deliveries & solicitations. This helped to see who was at the door.
6. It helps to see when family members come and go.
7. Works great with iPhone & Apple watch. It’s nice to get the notifications on my watch while at work & not having access to my phone.
8. It’s a great product.

Battery life not how I’d like but other than that, it does its job. No regrets. Would purchase again if need be.

This was my first doorbell ring camera and it will not be my last. It works surprisingly well. I will be purchasing another very soon.

I finally got myself a Ring doorbell. Mine came with the Chime. It takes good videos and you can link other devices to it. At this time I only have the wireless doorbell and the Chime. The Chime adds another "ring" whenever there is motion or someone rings your doorbell. If I am not mistaken, it also enhances your wifi-connection from your router to your doorbell. There are so many settings you can play with, and I am still learning. I am very satisfied with this.
It was very simple to install with 2 screws. It's easy to remove the face plate when you need to charge it via USB.
My only complaint is the few seconds delay when someone rings your doorbell. The notification to the phone takes a few seconds to open the app and talk to the person at the door.

If you go to the Ring website, this one is called Video Doorbell 2020 release. What does that mean?
- It comes with a battery. You want this, because if the power goes out, your camera will still operate for however many hours/days.
- It comes with terminals to connect your existing doorbell wiring to it. Your doorbell wiring is what constantly charges the battery in the doorbell, so there's no need to manually charge your doorbell every few days (which is SUPER inconvenient when compared to the standard video doorbell models).
- The chime is $30, but this bundle offers it for $20. Whether you need the chime is up to you; I got it because I like having the doorbell sound for the backyard, because otherwise my regular door chime sound doesn't make it outside. If your regular door chime is plenty loud enough, then don't worry about it.
- This version comes with adjustable motion zones, which is very helpful if you're in view of a street.
One helpful note for those who are new to video doorbells: my parents house had a stock AT&T access point, and the wifi was weak by the front door. I paired this with a TP-Link mesh router and it solved the problem immediately.

Love love love my Ring Camera. My ONLY complaint is that the battery runs out quick ( depending on the setting you have it on ) and I've yet to buy a solar panel for it for optimal battery life so I totally suggest buying that along with the ring camera so you have a longer battery life
Still an amazing product !

very easy set up and so far works perfectly. I have a 1st generation Ring doorbell purchased in 2016 that doesn't keep a charge and has a long delay before notification on my phone. The new Ring notifies me instantly. Also my original chime just stopped working for no reason one day. The new chime is working properly.

This was very easy to install outside. The chime isn’t super loud. But it can be heard at a decent distance. The app setup was user friendly and made the installation a breeze. I love the added security. I would like to add more ring devices in the future. The price was great. Highly recommended to purchase.

At first I was hesitate buying this camera because I was looking at another camera. A month later I am very glad I bought it. Sometimes I get a delay but it’s a 2 or 3 second delay. Video quality is good. I like that I can pause the video & zoom in. Easy installation too. I have yet to charge the battery & again it’s been a month. I recommend this camera. I plan on purchasing the annual plan because it will be worth it.

Love!!! Best investment ever. Camera works great day or night, sound quality as well. Can lag a bit but not enough to be considered a problem. Easy to setup and install.
I love the fact that the subscription service is optional. You can choose to subscribe or self-monitor, depending or your needs.
I will definitely be purchasing more Ring products!!!

This works great for our setup since we don't have the ability to hard wire it. It has a wide viewing range that can be optimized for your viewing area. For example, if you have a public sidewalk within view, you can customize your viewing range to eliminate the sidewalk area. The battery has lasted us over a month so far, but is down to 58% with moderate usage. I am considering purchasing the solar battery charger so I don't need to worry about recharging the battery every couple of months.

Purchased this item in March 2021. Excellent product. Easy to install, amazing camera lens. I have a side door bell, and you can still see a large area of the door and driveway. Once it is linked to the phone, it automatically alerts you when someone is at the door. Linked it to Alexa and it works very well. Very pleased with the quality of the doorbell and the price. I have recommended this product to several family members and friends.

I purchased this so I would know when I got packages since there are so many being stolen these days. I LOVE the app. LOVE the picture quality and it was so easy to install. I was so pleased with it that I went and picked up 7 of the ring cameras for around my house. I highly recommend. The ring app allows you to see the crime activity being posted in the area. To download and share your video. Worth every penny
