Absolute garbage......
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked somewhat for two days, then crapped out. When you log into to check the camera, it was all garbled & distorted. Plus, the video was choppy & slow when it did work, there was a delay between motion detection, so say someone walks to your door, walks away, waits a few seconds, then turns around and runs back to your door, this ring would miss them due to its reset delay between detected motion. Don't do it. Ring blew it with me, got the Nest Hello & did not regret it.

Neat camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This video doorbell is really neat in that it tells you when someone is at your front door or senses motion. It is not neat that you have to pay a monthly fee to see past recordings.

Fuzzy image
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The image that I get is very fuzzy. It also runs out of power too soon. I would have gotten the next generation of Ring if I had known the drawbacks. .

Cameras work fine, the doorbell not so good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The doorbell mike does not function well. If one is upstairs and the doorbell rings, we cannot communicate with the person on the outside. We cannot hear them speak and they cannot hear us, even with the volume all the way. Since it was installed where the old doorbell was, the image is not right in front of the camera, so we have a lot of glare and the image is not very clear at all. I would recommend this to a friend IF the image and the mike were better. That's why I am saying yes to the recommendation. It is with these conditions.

Didn't work with win10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the app seemed to install okay in win10 I got a recurring "error for unknown cause" when I tried to set it up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. I finally returned the device.

great camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the smart video doorbell was not what we expected it to be. The carmera displayed the front door only. If someone walked away but was still at home the camera did not detect. Therefore, the item was returned.

Not so great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been working for almost a month with Ring to try to get my doorbell to work properly. I can't get beyond the 5 second delay between the time something comes close to my door and the time it rings and starts recording.

Must have security
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome product to own but does not give enough control to the owner. Ring needs to allow the owner to have more control to determine when recording will start and finish.

Crappy Product
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My ring doesn't stay charged long and then sometimes it charges all the way to 100% sometimes it charges to 50%. It takes it almost 8 hours to charge and I've even made sure to charge it with the right square piece and it still is crappy. Sometime it captures video and sometimes it won't record at all.. I will not buy another ring product after all the problems I've had with this ring

Good product...needs redesign
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this should have been designed better with more features. The audio coming out of the speaker is terrible and you have to shim the box to aim the camera. The camera should be adjustable like its predecessor.

Nice but a little slow
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and works well except for the speed of the videos. Thought it was our internet but not the case. Takes so long the visitor is gone by the time I can look at the video.

Good Product but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good product but does not work if there is direct Sunlight on it or over head light on the porch. So I had to return. I would not recommend this if your house faces West or have Lighting above the door.

Terrible Support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were so happy with this door bell for a month then it seamed unable to charge. App support was just a continuous loop of the same unhelpful steps.

Returned Product After Realizing Limitations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed to learn that it only allows me to monitor live - won't record and catalogue. It does have a long battery life and it's worth considering if you have time and ability to access the app frequently

Terrible piece of crap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had the camera for about 3mo, have had to charge it 4 times. Once the 1mo free trial runs out, it stops working properly. You can still live view and get notifications of motion, but good luck viewing anything happening, 9 times out of 10 the leading time that all of a sudden got really long after the free trial takes away any chance of seeing anything. Finally, god forbid you drop one of the tiny screws. Because it is $20 for a replacement. Complete trash...

Posted .Hi Fureoz,
I am sorry to hear about this less than excellent Ring experience. Your Ring device should continue performing at its best even after your 30-day trail period ends. With that being said, I would appreciate the chance to connect with you directly so that I can make sure that it does this for you. Additionally, 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 email me directly at [email protected]?
I would appreciate the chance to improve your Ring experience today.

Works as designed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a safety measure for my wife, and it does what it says it can do. Only 3 stars for me, because the mount point for me is a metal exterior door, and the kit provided doesn't account for that.
