    Had the Zmodo and replaced with the Ring. Really like the look of the device. Set up and install was very easy. If mounting onto brick front, I recommend anchoring to the mortar between the bricks even if you have to make your own holes in the bracket. The downside of the unit is the monthly subscription to view past events. It should at least allow a 24 hour review for free.

    Night vision is good, daylight vision is worse as far as glare. My front door is shaded so video during the day is great but if subject is off the porch in the sun they are washed out. Response time from motion detected to notification to seeing video needs to be faster but this unit is still useful. This unit could be better but it does what I want.

    I absolutely love this door bell. I can answer the door from anywhere, work, store, in the car. I receive a tone to say someone is at the door, even if they just walk by, like the mailman. I can see everyone coming and going. I receive a different tone if they ring the bell and I can talk to them like I am right in my house! It is a little sensitive, like sometimes I get a notification if a car goes by, but I don't mind.

    Greatest ever. Works well with chime and alexa/echo dot. Nice camera. Great for signing in and linking with neighbors to see what's going on in your neighborhood such as strangers etc. I was able to view my door area, drive way, front uaed and up to my neighbor front door. If linked to echo dot, it will aleeer you when vehicles approach tour home such as passing by.

    I was so relieved to get this Ring doorbell. It saved me a lot of money because I was previously with an alarm company. The camera is 720p it is clear but not as crisp as the 1080p prices at 199.99. However, the price of 99.99 was a remarkable price. Not to mention a company that values customer service. This was an awesome purchase. I just need Ring to add more features.

    Camera resolution is 720P. Image is grainy when image is zoomed. Motion sensitivity calibration is useless. Unit needs to be unscrewed to recharge the battery. Battery doesn't last 6 months as claimed. Screw attaching the unit back to wall plate gets stripped easily. Customer support is useless. Advise by customer support to resolve the issue ( unable to take unit off the plate to recharge due to stripped screw) did not work. Was asked by customer support remove unit by tapping unit out with mallet but to be careful so as not damage unit. Tried that, the unit will not budge with "tapping" Im now stuck with a doorbell on my wall that doesn't work.

      Hi Gim0917909,

      Oh no, this is not the Ring experience that we intended for you to have. At this point, I would appreciate the chance to connect with you directly so that I can personally investigate the issues that you are encountering with your motion detector, video quality, and battery life. It is imperative to me that we get your Ring device working consistently to your expectations and I would like to step in and ensure that this happens to you ASAP. Would you please email me at Kaitlyn.rosenthal@ring.com?

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

    WhenI first bought it, I did it for an extra layer of security, now with that being said, it is amazing to just being able to see who is outside your door by looking at your echo devices as well as being able to see the recordings to see if your packages were delivered or if my dogs are in fact running the patio.

    the ring is a great little gadget to see who wanders to your front door at any time of day. the software is easy to use, the hardware isn't the best design, mine stopped ringing my doorbell. the "social" aspect of the app is a little annoying because it makes many assumptions and I notice a lot of racial profiling on it. I still would recommend it

    The installation wasn't that hard. The video is ok (720p) , the only thing you need to buy, it's the remote chime, because I tried all the ways possible to make it work with my doorbell and It didn't work. I saw the Ring PRO (at my friends home) and it is pricey but it works a lot better.
