    We have a covered porch and the camera did not work. You could only see right at the front door. The rest of the screen looked like a white blaze. Ring support said it was a problem with covered porches.

    Worked roughly 5% of the time. Bought a Wi-Fi extender, better router, nothing improved the function. The majority of the "videos" received were all black. The very few that weren't mostly captured cars driving by.

    Do NOT buy anything Ring when you can buy a Eufy doorbell. We love it which I hated Ring from the beginning plus very poor workmanship. Even Eufy's packaging is a thing of beauty!

    Would not recommend unless you just want a door bell or notifications when it detects motion. You have to pay a monthly fee for camera to work. If I would have known that I would’ve never bought it.

    I had problem with this product. It was not compatible with my doorbell with or without the transformer. The company sent a ring installer but he can not fix the issue himself.

    Not a fan of the ring or the 3 dollar per month fee. Better off getting a professionally installed doorbell cam with your security system. I can recommend you if you had the same issues as me

    The product is the best of the wifi door bells I have tried. The audio and video are near perfect with a fast internet connection. It was very easy to install. I personally do not like the fisheye lens on the camera but unless there is a zoom feature for the future the is the only way to see everything from your phone. I recommend this product.

    Poor quality. I don’t know if it’s just this particular one I purchased but I’m so dissatisfied. I’ve had another ring door bell and it was TOTALLY different in its quality

    Love it ! Before we bought it I was a victim of an assault . Now I feel safer at home and is good to see who is coming at your door then you decide if you want to open or not.

    It is slow to react, audio is hit or miss, you have to pay to see recorded events, does not work as smoothly as commercial depicts. A person would be gone before you would get to audio working.

      Hi Taken,

      I am so sorry to hear about this poor Ring experience, this is not the experience that we intended for you to have and I would like to step in and make sure that we turn this around for you. I would appreciate the chance to connect with you directly so that I can investigate the delay that you are encountering with your two-way audio feature. If you would be so kind as to email me directly at [email protected] and provide me with your upload and download speeds I would so appreciate it. Additionally, 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 as well as have access to Live View.

      I would appreciate your time as well as the chance to improve your Ring experience.

    Install issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Packaging and concept fantastic. Install video excellent. I hardwired mine and it was easy as watching the video. My major issue was when I was mounting the bracket. The video said that if you were installing on wood, you would not need to use the drill bit and wall mount inserts. Bad mistake. I even predrilled holes and the first screw that broke in half (in the wall) did so because I was doing it with my drill. The 2nd and third breaks were with screwdriver. The minute there was any resistance, the screw head just broke off. The last one was so bent it could not be used. I scrounged for some similar screws and they worked but I need to buy 2 more to secure it but it is on there adequately for now. Thought I set up motion detector but when I approached door, nothing happened. Need to mess with it more. I would recommend this conditionally based on the other reviews I just read.

    This device has more false positives than actual useful data. It records people entering our house already instead of them coming onto our porch. Totally useless...

    More detailed instructions indicated bigger doorbell transformer required as well as wifi extender. Too much extra cost and trouble so returned it unused.
