    Okay, now I know this sounds like a spoiled IoT brat complaining, but man, this thing feels unfinished. The responsiveness to motion will typically catch people as they walk away from my house or the cars on the road if I pump up the motion sensitivity. On top of that, I'm typically unable to answer through the app before people walk away. So I can't say that I've actually used this as promoted to talk to guest in the months since I've installed it. The Live view was a welcomed addition. I would check out the newer offerings from other companies before buying this one... also really poor integrations at the moment, no IFTTT.

    This doorbell exceeded my expectations. The wide angle lens captures guests with excellent clarity, it comes with motion tracking and a subscription recording service, and if you have it wired to a bell in your home circuit, it charges and you can access the camera any time. You can also use it as an answering intercom and talk to people through it without ever opening the door, great for avoiding solicitors. It does have some flaws, however - Motion tracking can take a bit to respond to someone in front of the camera. Often I have opened the app on alert to motion and whoever was walking in front of it is already gone by the time the movement triggered the doorbell camera. When I first got the doorbell, on Android phones it would alert when someone rang the doorbell, but opening the alert would not produce the video feed reliably. That being said, Ring was aware of the problem and it was patched a couple days later, so clearly the team is supporting this device well. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this to someone looking to add smart features to their home, or wants an added layer of camera security.

    Algorithms need further tuning to avoid false detections and product has potential for enhanced recognition possibilities.

    I bought this for a new office. Our lobby will be under construction for a few months so we needed a solution to allow visitors and delivery people to notify us that they are outside a locked door. This was easy to set up and it is easy to use. Several people have the Ring app on their phone. Most days the office manager responds to the door, but other people can easily cover for her when necessary by turning on notifications on the phone app.

    I bought this item for my husband as a gift. He loved it so much we went back out to Best Buy to purchase a second one for our other door! I like how you can adjust the range of motion sensitivity. The camera quality is decent. Its not crystal clear but it is clear enough to get the job done. We've had them for about a month (wireless) and they are just about ready to be charged for the first time. Easy install as well, I did it myself.

    Need Fast Internet Connection

    You really need to have a fast internet connection in order to use this product. I only have 10Mbps and the video is very choppy, and live video in non-existent most of the time. I feel that my internet connection is the majority of my problem, so I can't say the product does not work, it just doesn't work as well as it should. The motion detection is pretty good, but mine mostly catches things just going out of the frame. There is plenty of room for improvement.

    The response time is lacking. Other than that, we have it our on our porch and have been grateful to know the constant activity in front of our house. If you're causing the motion you can snooze it for an amount of time. Sometimes the ring app won't let you see the live video...the app and setting the device up is rather tedious and annoying. We wish it was simpler!

    Despite my old door bell being at a 45 degree angle to the front door, this bell is working out really well. I can even see who is at my door when I am out of town. My only issue is the difficulty in signing up for the continued recording. I still haven't found out how to do it. It should be easier. And I didn't know about the extra cost of that before I purchased either. But love the product and easy to install.

    We did not have a wired doorbell, so only had the option of the basic Ring doorbell. We paid the subscription fee so we can see recordings of incidents because there are many 'false alarms' so not worth checking every time you hear it chime. It does work well when someone rings. We can see them clearly. I feel it is better than no security doorbell, but would prefer the better version.
