    Pros, Great video quality, live fee is convenient. Motion detection alerts you of a visitor before the doorbell is even pressed. You are able to talk to visitor even if you are not at home. Con is that it only comes with 30 day trial period of Saved videos. After that you have to pay for a monthly subscription. Not sure how long videos would be saved in the app after trial period ends.

    I like this product a lot because of the security it provides. Set this product with your existing wires for continued monitoring. The camera works very well and I get notifications on the spot. I wish I would have waited for the second version. Great way to bring wireless gadgets to your house!!

    Ring created the smart doorbell market, and it continues to be the leader. If you have opened up a product from Apple or Nest, you will feel right at home. Everything you need to instal this is in the box, and the instructions are very clear. This model does not require a wired doorbell, which means it can work anywhere, but the unit needs to be recharged every month or so, which can be a hassle.

    I recently purchased this doorbell to enhance my home security. It was easy to get started after downloading app on my iPhone. It is equipt with motion detection, night vision and two way audio. I am alerted anytime someone come on my porch. Mailman, delivery person or visiting guess. When when motion is activated you get an alert on your phone and video clips of 30second recordings are recorded with date and time stamps. Very clear pictures

    Only downside, paying for cloud storage. Also, finding out when I was gong to install, I needed a wedge kit which apparently is not available at best buy.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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.
