I've been wanting to have Ring Doorbell for a while now, and I finally got it. This Ring Doorbell 3 plus was bundled with Echo Show 5. It was an awesome bundle price. And I love how these two work together! It's easy to use. Installation is basically very easy, just follow the step by step instructions provided. I'm not a very "sophisticated tech person" but I did fine with installing, downloading and connecting to other smart home products in my house. I love the features it has. For example you can customize the motion sensor. Everything is just as described on product description.

Easy to install and definitely what I wanted. I hard wired mine to save battery life. It picks up very clear noise with a excellent picture. It doesn't miss anything that in my zones, the pre roll is alright just wish it was in color but it's not so I can deal with it. Overall I love my ring doorbell and my cam spotlight with the solar panel to keep my battery full always.

This doorbell requires a lower voltage and can be hardwired or battery operated. We chose hardwire. More advanced models required more voltage than our doorbell wiring already had. One complaint is the picture is blurred. Sensitivity goes off & captures brief snips whenever someone walks past on the sidewalk or any vehicle drives past. However, it does not show the person walking completely by. It shuts off after 2 seconds in front of the house. Not sure if this is something I can fix with settings. It is definitely better than nothing. For more features, you have to pay a monthly subscription service. You do have a choice of faceplates.

Searched around to see if ring doorbell 3 installs like ring doorbell 1 and couldn’t find anything. It does NOT. The screw patterns are different and had to drill 3 more holes in my wall to replace my ring doorbell 1 with ring doorbell 3. The picture quality seems better. Hopefully connectivity is better. The “Venetian bronze“ plastic cover on the doorbell 3 looks cheap compared to the doorbell 1 Venetian bronze. If the connectivity is the same, I will return the doorbell 3. I only recommend if you don’t already have a smart doorbell and want 1. May even be better off saving money and getting a lower model. Picture left is doorbell 3 right is doorbell 1.

Install was flawless. It wasn't easy to mount in brick and mark but thst is no reason to blame the doorbell. So far the live iew has been great. I turned off notifications due to having high winds here qnd plants moving around. I know that can be adjusted. I liked this one so much, I boughtba 2nd one for another house.

Love this device works great! Worth the money. Connects to the Alexa with ease, my mom 78 years old is able to view her front door while she is still in her bedroom without going to the door, great little security.

I originally wanted the wired Pro version, but it proved incompatible with my current doorbell chime unit so I purchased this current newer version of the battery doorbell. Other than using too much data when viewing or recording, it includes the features you need. When in HD mode, it delivers a decent video and view. My wired stickup cam might be a little better, visually. It's still decent. Installation was easy as well as set up. There are numerous settings to go through and decide which is best for you. If data usage is an issue, there are settings and things you can do to minimize this, but for the most part, you can run this device without worrying if you don't sit there and constantly view or record. I guess the only thing that surprised me for whatever reason was the data use. I ended up getting an unlimited data plan and don't worry about it anymore. A relative has several RING devices set up and doesn't have a data problem and doesn't have an unlimited plan so maybe it's not a big issue. This is just my experience. When you first get it, of course you want to do a lot of viewing and have fun with it. Battery life depends on how often it is actually doing something. I have another battery pack ready to insert when the current one is down. There is a Device Health area so you can check the percentage of what's left on your battery. It does take hours to charge them so it is a good idea to have an extra if you want constant coverage. Easy to replace. Don't place any of your battery RING devices up too high to cause you too much inconvenience to change the batteries. Those probably should have hard-wired choices. Decent product. You can view and use audio from your mobile device, PC and Echo. This is just my experience. You may agree or disagree. Bottom line is that it all worked out for the good.

Clear video. The pre-roll is a nice feature. The Ring app is very easy to use for setup and notifications. Would give it 5 stars, but I am not impressed with battery life. No existing doorbell and it is under a porch roof so no ability for the solar charger either.

Love that the video is clear and not pixelated and was able to install with no wires just install battery that it came with and upload wifi. It's as simple as that. I would of liked it to have a view from a farther distance. It's an OK distance for a doorbell. I haven't been able to figure out how to have phone automatically display the video when there is motion. I do get the alert on my banner and if someone rings doorbell my phone also rings. The con that is that if you're out shopping and don't have good wifi connection, your not able to connect to doorbell and see who is at your home.

Overall I am very happy with this. Good resolution. Excellent integration with other ring components like Chime and also with Alexa. Lots of features for customizing sensitivity of motion detection, zones of motion detection, and can limit to people. I have had to do a lot of adjusting to get this to work well. Despite this occasionally garbage trucks driving by seem to activate it, or it misses an occasional person coming up to our house. Sometimes does not send a recording to the cloud, which I suspect is due to bandwidth issues. Have to charge battery from time to time, but this is not too bad. I may buy a second battery to make the swap faster. Overall good quality video. It is HD and looks good though details of faces are not always picked up. It works well with the rest of my system. I am happy overall, but wish that resolution and sensitivity was better.

I rely strictly on the batteries, no wiring attached. I bought an extra battery because the recharge time is several hours and I didn't want the device inactive that long. The motion detection is so sensitive that I had to dial the adjustments way back to keep from picking up street traffic. Otherwise the battery life would only last about 2 days. Overall I like it. It was easy to install and get the app set up on my phone.

Easy to install. Great range of view. Got this because I had a package stolen off my porch ( they will be disappointed it was just a computer cord) Very good picture quality. The first day we got to see the Prime driver deliver our package and then wave and say "Merry Christmas" It was really great. Had to adjust the sensitivity because we live off the road but the cars going down the street would set it off. Once we got that set it has been great!

What can I say about this that has not already been said? Getting constant motion notifications is annoying, but if you can fine-tune it to work for you, then you'll enjoy this product.
I don't feel any more secure with it, however. Now, when I'm at work and I'm expecting a package, I get distracted when I know there's a package sitting there that I can't do anything about, but it's nice to be able to check in on it.
I'm interested in expanding the Ring ecosystem with more cameras for fuller cover. The camera quality is not bad, but not great either. I If I don't recognize the person, it may be hard to point out individual features. It was extremely easy to install.
