I bought this because I have an easily accessible front door from the street and wanted to deter anybody from wandering to my front door, which admittedly has never been much of a problem. After install, I felt more secure immediately.
Things I've learned-
This is a 1st gen, so I do not know what the "newer" ones do or don't do.
This device works just fine.. Mostly. A few times I have caught people walking away but it is usually neighbor kids and that was early on.
The one downside, maybe this is done by newer models ldk. But I wish I could record continously and go back as needed.. I turn the sensitivity up and it tells me when the wind blows, I turn it down and I catch the back of people near my door. I got the setting as best i could and have added more cameras since so i dont solely rely on this device, but as a simple, quick solution it's easily worth the price I paid for peace of mind..
Do your research, and make sure it works for you.. otherwise, any security is better than none...
God Bless.

I purchased the Ring WiFi Video doorbell to use with Alexa. I don't have appropriate wiring so this product was perfect because it has a rechargeable battery. I love that it has video, motion detection and it rings with the Echo Spot. I can also see who's at the door with the Echo Spot. Installation was easy. It has a lot of great features. Highly recommended.

Great item to help in security. Good coverage of sound that enables you to communicate with people at your front door.
Con: Battery does not last very long and it is a hassle to have to unscrew device it order to bring it in and recharge every couple of weeks.

This is my second Ring Doorbell as I have one here in Florida and also my home in WNY. They are easy to install and program and a great product to monitor your home or homes from anywhere as long as your internet and phone are working. Highly recommend for all homeowners, especially seniors. It gives me peace of mind.

I really do like this video doorbell! Video quality is great, works really well and is adjustable for your individual needs. My only complaint is that you need to have a $30 annual subscription to see any videos, which isn't something the associate told me and sometimes I just can't look when I am at work. Other than this it would have been 5 of 5 stars!!!

Average video quality makes hard to recognize people, I wanted this for security and to identify faces not watch my property robbed. Video delay is the biggest problem, it capture videos about 5 to 10 seconds after detecting motion, could miss the entire event. (It missed USPS delivery a package, all I saw was the back of his car leaving). Which runs the entire purpose of security. Finally motion sensor is a joke, it was put their to give the "options" illussion; changing the sensor range doesn't really change the sensor range.
On the good side, it looks nice, installing it wasn't hard, no wires needed thought it can be hooked to your old doorbell wires. And the phone application is easy to use.

Purchased this in addition to the Ring alarms system, picture is crystal clear, sound is optional, and can be hard wired or use on rechargeable batteries. Perfect for nee home owners and can be used with other pieces for Ring. Nifty app that comes with it to download and you can see who is at the front door and speak to them right from your phone.

It's a good security item, capturing all motion at specified footage, as well as being able to respond when you can't answer the door in person but from a remote area.

The ring doorbell has been a game changer. I no longer fear porch pirates. This unit was very easy to install and easy to set up. The only thing I did not like was the fact the clerk did not inform me that this doorbell would require a cloud storage contrad. That would have been really good to know.

Easy installation using the tools supplied. Had a few setup questions and their service was the best I ever encountered. The motion sensor is very sensitive and takes a little patience to adjust. Mine is hard wired. There is a slight delay in the video if not answered immediately when the motion sensor alerts you. Livable.
