    Definitely worth it for a little peace of mind for package deliveries and notification of who is at your door. Motion sensor works great. I suggest using the hardwired option if you are able to because the battery life isn't very good with motion and live view settings enabled.

    This thing continually goes off regardless of how I set the settings. I have adjusted this thing to totally eliminate the side views, and set everything else to the absolute minimum. It still goes off when garbage trucks and delivery trucks drive-by more than 50 feet away. We bought it because delivery people often fail to ring the doorbell, and a motion sensor device like the Ring could let us know something is there to be picked up. Most of the time however the sensitivity issue makes the Ring video doorbell of very limited use. If I could find the receipt, I would return the whole system.

    Setup instructions was excellent, easy to setup. Downloaded the app on my phone and iPad, no problems now I have views of my home from wherever I am. I’m even able to communicate with anyone who rings my doorbell, even though I’m away from home. Love this Doorbell

    Like the product, easy to fit But not sure if the monthly subscription is worth it Got through Christmas without any Amazon package snatchers in our area, and I can always sign up in the future. That little Ring circle on the doorstep is a deterrent in itself

    The Ring doorbell works great. The included apps (e.g. Android, iOS, desktop) all help to give alerts when motion is detected. The recorded videos are good for offline viewing. The only downside is that a subscription is REQUIRED if you wish to view offline videos.

    I have had both Swann and and Ring and the Ring is superior in every way. However I do wish the battery lasted longer, I get about 4 weeks out of it. Also the monthly subscription I feel is a little unnecessary for what it offers.

    I bought this as a gift for a friend and helped to install and set up. The doorbell package includes everything you need for battery use or hardwire outside your home including screwdriver, level, charge cable for battery and very easy to follow instructions for us - two seniors! Love it.

    This works well for the price, picture quality isn't fantastic but not bad. There is some lag in the notifications, and it can be touchy when picking up motion, even with adjusting the settings. But it gets the job done and overall is a great value.

    Seldom do the claims of gadget makers about how easy it is to set up and use hold true. However, the Ring doorbell system actually is. My home doorbell already had power wires to it, so I was able to use those to power it. The app is easy to use, and I've used it several times now to answer the door while away from the house.

    I’ve been wanting this product for a while but wanted some security on the purchase of this doorbell. Best Buy provided that , the sales associate was wonderful answered all of my questions, on top of making sure I had the geek squad in case I needed a replacement.
