    Got this for my parents to use and it’s super easy to install and configure. Once it’s set up you can not worry about it unless you change the network it’s on! I bought these in the past and will purchase another in the future once I move. A staple of any home security system.

    Very Reliable. The app lets you know everything that's going on, including when the battery is low. It takes some time to charge (1 hour - 1 1/2 hours) but everything else about this Ring version is great. Paired it with the chime that plugs in indoors.

    The ring works fine as far as doorbell functionality is concerned, but the motion functionality was so bad that I had to deactivate it in the app. I was getting notified whenever a car passed by on the road. No amount of changing the settings worked for it.

    I installed it 3 weeks ago and the battery is at half. Pics are not HD but I think they are on the gen 2s and 3s. 180 deg view. Night vision. Has a blog on the app of neighbors posts within a certain distance of my home which is nice. I can post too. I recommend the Ring to everyone.

    I really like my Ring Doorball. I am now able to see who is approaching my front door. This is a great product because I always had to go into another room and peep through the curtain to see who was knocking at my door. I absolutely love the two way talk feature!

    great product. I am thinking of buying another along with the ringer. The only problem is that Best Buy doesn't stock the ringer.

    I had the regular door bell, now I get an instant alarm on my cell phone when someone arrives or leaves the house. Also records up to 30 second every event. I'm very happy with The Ring but the only complaint is that sometimes it detects motion and nothing shows.

    Great by. The only problem is the battery doesn't hold a charge for as long as I would like. The option of supplying wired power is not there so recharging the battery every 2 weeks is somewhat inconvenient. Otherwise it is very good to have oh.

    My Best Purchase - Ever

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

    The Ring doorbell is one of those purchases that left me wondering afterwards, “How did I ever get along without it before?” My teens use it to screen unknown people at the door. And I love that I can have 2-way communication with someone at my door when I’m not home. The alerts on my phone are great too when there’s activity at the door - such as getting an alert when the kids get home from school or a package is delivered. A number of people in my neighborhood have them, and they’ve checked their Ring doorbells after a jet ski, golf cart, or expensive car have been stolen. They’ve been able to track the thieves and get a description of the thieves’ cars as they’ve driven past Ring houses on their escape routes. Ring customer service is also the best of the best, from spending time on the phone with me when I needed a hard reset to my Ring, to replacing one of my Rings that wasn’t performing as well as my others (I have 3 Rings - I installed them at my vacation homes too). I keep finding new applications and benefits with my Ring.

    This is an awesome doorbell . It has saved me from deliveries being left on doorstep . It lets me know when the kids get home , I see every car that goes by the front of the house and any strangers walking near my front door . Highly recommend connecting it to existing doorbell for full power and no need to charge b

    Hidden Fees but Okay Product

    I bought this item by reading the product description which specifies that it stores video on Cloud. But, only after installing it did I come to know that there is a monthly subscription charge that one has to pay monthly to store the video clips. This is dubious. If I had known it before opening the product, I would have returned it and bought Skybell which does not have any monthly subscription charges. So, please be aware of the monthly charges before expecting Ring to store your surveillance video clips on the Cloud. Other than that, product installation was easy. The video it is showing is very clear. However, there is scope for improving -- (1) reduce the lag time between somebody rings and the ring app loads the video, and (2) amplify the audio so that the caller is able to hear better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
