Not worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money. Video Quality is below average. Plus you have to pay for a subscription, which isn’t much. Get a real security system.

Go With the Pro 2!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this model for my parents and the picture quality is very poor compared to the other models. Spend the extra money and go with the higher models.

Requires high speed down and upload Internet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything seems to work fine, except for the fact that sound and image travels around the Internet before reaching your device (computer or mobile), even if they are on the same network. In other words, a lot of technical issues may interfere with the quality of sound and image as you connect to the doorbell. Unfortunately, I had to return the product. I assume that the reason for the the internet loop is to guarantee video capture. I will buy it again if I can bypass the internet when connecting through the local wifi network.

You get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality isn't the best, it sometimes picks up on the recording after the person is at the door making it hard to see face . Over all does its job I guess

Poor Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The back panel that is used to mount the video camera is of poor quality. The camera was not flush when installed on the back place. Consequently, the camera would not stay securely fastened to the mounting plate. I was concerned that it would be very easy for any one to simply pull the device off the mounting plate. I was very disappointed but, I'm glad I purchased from Best Buy because I was able to get a full refund. I would NOT recommend this particular iteration of the product. Hopefully, they'll make the back plate of better quality - perhaps metal instead of plastic - in future designs of the product.

Posted .Hi JustAnotherGeek, your Ring Video Doorbell should be secure on your mounting bracket with the provided proprietary screws. Would you kindly reach me at yul@ring.com so that I can provide additional options for you please? Thank you and I appreciate your time!

Disappointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Supposedly the Ring doorbell allows you to see on your phone who is at your front door, regardless of where you are. In reality, the message I usually get, sometimes even in my own home, is "ring has stopped working". When I click on Ring at home it says "Wi-Fi connection to front door is poor", but the Wi-Fi extender is right next to the front door and was placed there after trying many locations to get the best results to the far end of the house and to the upstairs, each of which is 40 feet or so from the extender.

Posted .Hi Calv,
I'm sorry to hear about your WiFi connectivity issues. Notification delay is normally attributed to Wi-Fi / bandwidth connection, however we can take a further look into this for you to make sure we resolve this. Do you happen to know what your upload speed is? You can check by visiting www.bandwidthplace.com on your cell phone, and running a speed test right next to where your Ring Doorbell is installed. We also recommend running a speed test right next to your router, and comparing the two speeds. Sometimes, even with high internet speeds, the connection isn't as strong at the front of the house. Would you kindly reach me at [email protected] today so that I can assist you with this and turn your Ring experience around? I would appreciate your time, Calv.
Thank you,

Picture quality not the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the voice call feature but the video quality especially at night even in well lit area is not good. I can’t even see much at all and wouldn’t help identify any intruders unless they were right in front of lens. Also the WiFi connects and if it has any issues it requires you to unscrew from wall and push button on back to reconnect which is super inconvenient.

nice product but doesn't include fees
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the product itself is great, but after 30 days you have to pay a monthly subscription to access the videos from your own device. This was not adequately advertised.

Glitchy at Best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this doorbell for the safety and security of my son while I'm away. Everything was great at first. About 2 weeks ago, I began experiencing problems answering motions and activating "Live View". Nothing has changed in the location of the doorbell, the speed of my Wi-Fi, the number of connected devices, the location of my router or my internet provider itself. As suggested by the trouble shooting instructions, I restarted my unit. Still no luck.

Ok camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok it's sad the price you pay for the ring door bell then on top of it you have to pay a fee once a month to record any activity. How sad.

Returned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the door bell camera would be a node product. I didn’t want to have to camera that I was required to pay a monthly recording service, so I returned it.

It needs some improvements
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is great when it works, but when it does't, is a different story. The pros is if it doesn't work, they will send you a new one. The cons is it has glitches.
