Camera could be better.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ring is a great concept. The camera could be better though. It’s a little blurry. Still recommend to keep your house safe.

Posted .Hi WWWanda,
Oh no! Setting up the motion detector does require a bit of maneuvering to find the sweet spot, however, we can assist you with honing these settings to make sure you receive the alerts that matter to you. Would you reach me at [email protected] today so that I can follow up on your return?

Poor performance.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this product for a refund after using it approximately two weeks. Video alerts when someone rang the doorbell or activated the motion detector were either delayed such that the individual at the door had already left or the alert didn't occur at all. The "Live View" function never worked. There is no way to adjust the contrast so half of the video picture was washed out in areas where the light was brighter. I called their support services twice during installation. The first person was unfamiliar with doing the installation using a Windows 10 Operating System. The help provided by their service reps was minimal at best. This would have been an excellent product if it had just worked as advertised.

Great in good light.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well for a deterrent, to help keep packages on your porch. The picture is OK for the price, the picture has a fisheye lens look.

Turned out not to be an item to last very long
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it if January 2019 and had to replace it in July of July 2020 because of interference with the video camera, can not see the face of the person at the door. Called ring and at least the are giving me a discount to purchase a new second generation ring video door bell with a discount. I would think it would last longer than just a little over a year.

Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had my ring for about 14 months. I recently charged it up to 100% as I was going to be out of town for two weeks. I have been gone for one week and the ring batterie is down to 7%. The motion settings are at minimum, and the WiFi signal is very strong. I am very disappointed and of course it is two months outside of the warranty.

Easy DIY Security System
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Ring Video doorbell after researching security plans from major home security companies. For my needs, I decided that Ring would fit the bill. And, it does. Very easy to set up, the app works with both my cell phone and my PC. It works basically like an intercom system, so that I can see who is at my door, and I am able to speak with whoever is there, whether I am at home or not. If you want to keep your videos obtained through the Cloud for Ring, it does help to purchase their plan. For me, I went with the Premium Plus, though there is a less expensive plan. The only problem that I have experienced is that my doorbell completely died after having it for only a year and two months. Don't know why this happened. However, I spoke to a Ring associate, and he will be sending me another doorbell free of charge. The new doorbell is supposed to arrive within 5 business days. Hopefully, the same thing doesn't happen again. We shall see. Overall, I am very happy with my Ring products ( I also have a security cam) and the level of customer service that Ring offers. For a DIY security system, the price is very reasonable, and does give me a certain piece of mind knowing that my property is being monitored. I would recommend Ring products to anyone that doesn't want the expense of contracting with, and having to deal with other home security companies.

Ring doorbell
