Great style, excellent features!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having a new front door installed and decided to get a new doorbell too. I knew I wanted a smart doorbell and Ring had the best reviews and seems to have the most features. I also liked that I could select between a few different finishes. The doorbell works great and is nothing special but what sold me are the features and integration. Ring is compatible with Samsung SmartThings (which I also use at home) and there is a chime you can get to pair with the Ring doorbell. The chime is good for hearing the doorbell in another area of the house. The subscription is a must. Don't skip out on it. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

As advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera works great! The picture is clear as well as the speaker. It's not overly sensitive so I'm not bothered by too many unnecessary alerts.

Bought this version for price point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Newer versions are better for 1080p and clarity, but heck...it works great and the price point was great. Balance your needs with cost.

Good but this model suffers from issues...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it works, it is a nice unit, but as an IT professional, I not only own 2 of these, I've installed numerous ones. There seems to be issues with connectivity in many cases. Some of these units have issues with staying connected, Even with Static IP addresses, etc. they sometimes just don't keep their connection. Often, the setup process has to be done numerous times before connecting, even when within feet of the router. I've had to replace one in my own home and now the replacement unit is becoming finicky. I can't speak for the newer units, but you're rolling the dice on this model. I must say that one of the units I have, I've had no issues with, so when they work, they are great.

Great features for front porch area
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device works very well to let us know when any activities taking place on our front porch, lets us see what is going on and view tapes of what has happened. Also notifies us when there is activity and allows us to check and talk through the device no matter where we are.

Love this Doorbell
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We installed the Ring doorbell and we are so glad we did!! It sends me notifications when there is movement outside. It has a great picture at night!! I love being able to check outside any time I want too. Now I don't worry about anyone taking my yard ornaments or packages!!

Lag time on recording, pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this since I had some rewards points and it's a bit pricey. What I like about it is it can be hoked up to original doorbell system or go completely wireless (you do have to take out the Ring to charge once battery runs low). I like how you can set different motion settings. But once trial is over, you won't be able to control the settings without buying the subscription. I returned for two reasons: 1) Main reason, recording doesn't begin until a few seconds after it detects motion. I bought the Maximus and had it hooked up at the same time. Maximus goes back 5-10 seconds when it detects motion so you won't miss anything. I will leave a review on that. 2) Fish eye camera, it's not your typical screen when you view a live-view or go back to view recordings in widescreen. it's round, never got used to it. I wouldn't recommended it because it's to expensive and it misses a lot of important recordings. Especially if you have to pay after the 30 days and you'll loose the options so it basically becomes a monitor if you don't subscribe the monthly service.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Ring
Posted .Hi Alsb805,
I'm sorry to hear about your Ring experience. I would love the opportunity to speak with you and learn more about this as well as follow up on your return. Also, our optional cloud service plan for $3/month allows you to access/download/share past Ring videos. Without this service, you'll still receive real-time video alerts on your smartphone. You should also be able to control your motion settings. Would you please email me at [email protected]? I look forward to hearing from you and turning your Ring experience around.
Thank you,

Works ok, but not as a security device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The motion sensing goes from hyper sensitive to non existent. As far as a door bell camera it works fine — usually. Sometimes the doorbells doesn’t ring my phone, which is annoying. For the price paid ($99) it’s fine. Wouldn’t pay any more though.

Great video doorbell!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are not looking to break your bank, this video doorbell does what it needs. Has a great video quality and will detect who is at the door before the bell is rung. Also, the motion settings will detect when people or cars walking by so you know if there is any suspicious activity. And it has a great social media networking where you would be alert of fires, crimes, or lost puppies nearby your neighborhood so it acts like virtual neighborhood watch. The battery life is amazing if you don't need lot of settings to be turned on.

A wonderful convenience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ring works great and a few times too good because the sensitivity sometimes still gives me false notices. Easy to install. Instructions are well written.

works with effort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.had to buy an extender for my router to get it to work outside through the walls. Once it works it's great. Now I know when anybody comes and goes from the front door.

Great Home Security
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that it alerts me when some one is walking to my door. They don't even have to push the button to alert me. It makes it easier to tell door sales men and people trying to push their religion on me to leave my property. I don't have to open the door for them anymore.

Could be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is nice idea, but the functionality could be better. This camera records events based on movement detected, but it usually misses important events. Most of the time it starts recording way too late. Other times it stops recording too early. I like being able to see when packages are delivered, and checking my entrance during the day when I’m out. The bsttery life is not very good, so we have to remember charging the ring about once a week.

Amazing Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First saw this when a friend had it, the best part is that there is no subscription and ties into your device no matter where you are. You can speak to visitors and not even be home, as soon as the doorbell rings, you are notified that someone is there. Really cool stuff.

I love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a few dozen reviews prior to purchasing my Ring doorbell, many with a number of complaints but so far so good. I get alerts when someone is at or near the door and I was able to restrict my zones to avoid false alerts. Customer service was great as well, I love it.

Works, but needs fine tuning.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This door bell works, but needs some fine tuning to not register false readings. As someone else stated, you need to set the distance to maximum to minimize false readings. It does a good job of keeping you informed about actions in your area.
