A little disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a doorbell, it works great. The camera is a little slow in picking up and recording the motions. Thought it would work as advertised. ..will keep playing with it.

Customer has to pay subscription
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customer has to pay a subscription fee to view videos after 30 days. You cannot view the videos if you missed a notification. Why would pay to see videos that you dont want to store? There should be a minimum days where you can see your videos without having to pay any subscription. If I knew about this issue I would not have bought the device. Now I am stuck with it and I cant return it.

Showing It's Age
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess okay for the time period this item originally came out but go with a higher version. After having both, this one is just a extra camera in the back yard that I have let go dead. Its ok if its all you have--better than nothing.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Poor battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery lasts 1 month (not the 6 month they advertise), and you have to take it apart and bring inside the house to recharge, which means ... you don't have a doorbell while it's charging. Terrible implementation. Don't Buy!

Posted .Hi Fortfun,
I'm sorry to hear this! Battery life is contingent on usage so the volume of alerts you receive per day will affect it but we can provide optimal settings to conserve your battery. Would you please reach out to me at marynell@ring.com, so we can turn this around for you? I'd greatly appreciate your time.
All the best,

Was complicated installing myself
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doorbell was the smallest siZe available but i still was too large for my panel beside the door. And did not have the proper tools i need to uninstall my current doorbell. So i exchanged for a different system

Not very impressed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app takes a long time to launch, despite having a Galaxy S9 plus, the video takes a while to load in too, despite having a fiber 1GB connection. They do not do well at night, neither. I know this is the older model and I only hope they've grown from those bumps.

highly recommend Ring and Chime
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this product. We have had great experiences with the Ring Doorbells and our Chime (all purchased in person at a BestBuy store). Our main requests for future versions would be live video on demand and quicker start to motion recording. We purchased our first Ring three months ago with a chime. It worked out so well we bought another one as a sort of security cam for the back porch. Provides peace of mind. Very highly recommend both the Ring Doorbell and Chime. Note, we wish it had the following features: - video on demand - a quicker start to motion videos (we get a lot of deliveries, starting at the gate 15ft out, yet very rarely catch any person on camera) - as we get a lot of activity, on the Activity recordings, we wish it had: - a date and timestamp on each video, - video 'next' and 'back' feature to facilitate efficient review - on the main Recent Activity list - wish it listed activity for each device in a different color Some slight less than perfect performance areas in our experiences : - often get a motion chime yet there is a lag when notified on our phone. - wish there was a way to have more captured at angle down from camera (when package left on doorstep it is rarely in view) [doorbell is at the appropriate height for our entry, just doesn't show us if package was left] - we are renters with security motion lights placed by landlord. when some motion lights engage, video turns pink and is less clear. [This may be a motion light bulb issue, not a Ring issue] - we get a lot of activity, thus batteries require charging more frequently (but it is very very easy and convenient to recharge). - depending on weather, planes, cats, wind seem to set it off. Still worth it by far. So far our tech experience relates to the Chime (turned out to be an electrical wiring issue on our end, not a product issue) and the tech rep was great (responsive, thorough and professional). We are thrilled with the peace of mind offered by, and experienced this far, with the Ring Doorbell and Chime. Very highly recommend.
