Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm planning a move into a new house that has one of those "other" brands of video doorbells and I've always been a fan of Ring products. I have their alarm system, sensors, cameras, and appreciate how easy it is to set up and use their products. The Ring Doorbell Plus is yet another example of their current product lineup. My previous doorbell was wireless but the new home provided the ability to hard-wire so this one was the way to go. Installation is simple - attach the mounting plate to the wall, scan the QR code to add the doorbell to your app, attach 2 wires, and click the doorbell into place. It connects easily to the app and wireless network and can be set up on either 2.4 or 5ghz. I was a little confused as to why the box included a mini chime kit, or why I needed one, but after a little online research I found that some ring doorbells don't work with mechanical chimes. This takes care of that issue by mounting the mini chime kit inside your existing chime housing, bypassing the mechanical chime, and using the Ring Chime instead....Genius! The Chime kit also helps optimize power delivery to your Ring doorbell. As anticipated, the second generation Ring Plus provides great video. It offers retinal 2k which provides great resolution, including low-light sight which provides color images in low-light conditions. It also uses 3D motion detection to provide accurate alerts which can be tailored to your view by mapping out those specific areas. The wired rind doorbell also works with Alexa Echo to provide a view of your front door! My doorbell came with the standard silver faceplate but additional faceplates are available and swapping them out is easy! Another great Ring product!

The unboxing was very easy and they included all the hardware in labeled pouches. The provided quick start guide started with me downloading the new Ring Aware app. Then I was prompted to create an account. Simple process. Then I scanned the QR code of the doorbell and it prompted me through the setup. It started with the type of wiring to the transformer needed. Then I connected the provided door chime. Finally, I installed the angled wall plate. Then the Doorbell connected. The final screw that locks the doorbell to the plate required some force when screwing to get it to tighten properly. Also, the angled bracket sits lower than the doorbell so doesn’t look as clean on the front of my house as the previous doorbell I had. Once powered on I was able to go in and set up the sensitivity to when it records and what it alerts me on. You are provided with vehicles, person, package and other. This allows me to get what notifications I want. Also, it allows you to enable AI to get a single clip. The doorbell placement does show more of my house than my previous doorbell but that is how it installs and the viewing angle of the camera. The quality is really good during the day and at night. I like it when you want to look at the clips they are user friendly, and you can download and share them easily. Also adding the family was simple. Finally, what makes this a really good option is the $60 year option which is affordable compared to others on the market.

I have been using the Ring - Wired Doorbell Plus (2nd Generation) Retinal 2K with 3D Motion Detection and Low-Light Sight for a few days, and it works absolutely great. The bold redesign looks modern and sleek by my front door, and the Retinal 2K video quality is incredibly crisp and true-to-life. It truly feels like my front door is brought directly to my phone in a way I have not experienced with other devices. I will see exactly what is happening whenever someone comes to my door. One of my favorite features is the Live View and Two-Way Talk. I can see, hear, and speak to whoever is at my door in real time, whether it is a delivery driver, a visitor, or someone I do not recognize. The 3D Motion Detection has also been impressive. The radar-powered motion detection gives me more precise alerts, so I am not overwhelmed by unnecessary notifications, and I know when there is real activity at my front door. The Low-Light Sight feature is another major highlight. Even in near-dark conditions, I still get a full color view as long as there is a nearby street. This gives me peace of mind at night because I can clearly see what is going on outside without everything turning into a grainy or washed-out image. The doorbell is hardwired using my home’s existing doorbell wiring, so once it was installed. I also appreciate how well it works with Alexa. I can hear custom notifications and launch video on my Alexa-enabled devices, which makes it even easier to keep an eye on things without constantly reaching for my phone.

Ok, so after spending some time with the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen), I can confidently say this is a strong upgrade from previous generations. The Retinal 2K video quality is legitimately impressive — crisp, clean, and detailed enough that you don’t get that graininess you normally expect when you zoom in. Low-light sight has also been noticeably better than earlier models; faces stay clear instead of turning into silhouettes, which is exactly what you want for a doorbell that’s supposed to keep an eye on things 24/7. The 3D Motion Detection is a winner for me too. You can feel the difference, alerts come in faster, and the zones feel more accurate, picking up people while ignoring random movement that used to trigger my old camera (and by the way drove me a little crazy). And honestly, one thing I’ve always appreciated about Ring is the neighborhood community feature. Being able to see what’s going on around my area — from safety alerts to simple heads-ups — actually adds value in a way a lot of smart home products don’t. All around, this feels polished, reliable, and clearly built with some thoughtful improvements under the hood. If you're already in the Ring ecosystem or just want a dependable wired doorbell with great video, this one’s absolutely worth picking up.

LOVE the Ring Doorbell. We had one on our prior home, and when we moved we left it on our house. So we needed a new one for our new home. I am a huge fan of Ring Doorbell. They are super easy to install and they work great on the mobile app. I have tried other brands and I always come back to Ring. After installation I immediately could see the difference in this version (2K) over the original. This was a great investment and I am glad I made the purchase for the newer version. The image is already so much more crisp and clear even in low light situations. ANother enhancement with this version is it now accepts 5GHz WiFi. The original struggled to pick up my home wifi (dual band) and now this new version picks it up easy and holds the connection without issue. If you are in the market for a video doorbell look no further, this is the brand you want to go with. I enjoy being able watch live views as well as answer the doorbell and have two way communications with the person at my door even if I am not home. You get all the items you need in the box to install this to your existing doorbell wiring. There are great instructions provided so even if this is your first venture into this market, you will be up and running in no time.

The Ring - Wired Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) is a really nice security device with many features and clear capture. The setup was fairly easy, especially if you have an existing wired doorbell. The step-by-step instructions are spot on and easy to follow. The video quality is superb, and the app is easy to use. I really like the fact you can choose / personalize what you want it to record and send notifications. We have used other cameras in the past that record every movement of bushes blowing in the wind, or birds flying around. I was able to set this camera up to only record people. This allows me to have our dogs in the front porch area, and I won’t get notified every time they walk near the camera. But if someone was to enter the area, or if I get a package delivered, I’ll know immediately and will have crisp clear video footage of it. So far so good. I’m extremely impressed and happy with this new ring device. Ring keeps improving and setting the standard for home security and I look forward to adding more devices soon.

So I have never used a Ring before. Figured now was a good time as any. Getting into the world of Ring was a bit more than I anticipated. I did not know there were so many models out there. This Ring Wired Doorbell Plus seemed like a good middle ground. I felt wired is usually the way to go with security cameras as you can get better performance. I gotta say I was a bit surprised by how large these things are now. I had seen the first generations before. I guess with better cameras and sensors, they had to make them bigger. Given that it is wired, you do need to plug it into the existing wire system. Now, one thing that I didn't realize with the Ring is that while it is compatible with the vast majority of existing wired doorbells, it will not work with your existing mechanical chime. Instead, you have to connect the Chime Kit Mini which only has one chime. It is incredibly annoying to me. You should look up the sound before buying to see if is something that you can tolerate. I guess I had some misconceptions about the Ring. The video quality itself is good. I actually can compare it to a 4K Ring that I also got. While the video quality difference is noticeable, it did not actually make any big differences in real world use. Now another thing that I did not know with Ring cameras is that you need a subscription to unlock alot of the features, namely saving recordings. This is an unfortunate trend with today's technology. All in all, this is easy to set up. The video quality is decent. Nowhere near as crisp as the commercials will make it seem but good value.

Ring is a really good line of products. We have a building that doesn’t need full security so we thought a doorbell with audio and video was a really and affordable option. Naturally we go with what we know, so this was a no brainer. I like that the doorbell had a similar design throughout the models, nothing really changed. I have noticed over the last 3 models the button to push for the bell is slightly bigger which to me is a nice convenience so that I don’t have to be so precise lol The blue ring is still cool. The install is easy, like super easy if you have the two wires exposed and ready to connect WITH the electricity cut off. Please don’t work with live wires. After install, I was able to connect to WiFi and my app with other devices and it was up and running in no time. The video is clear for day and night and the sound is solid. No complaints really. I’m just a fan overall and it does what I actually need it to do, nothing less but with a subscription you can get more features.

The Ring wired Doorbell Plus is a great smart device to add to your home for convenience and security. It is a quality and well-built product that should serve your needs for years to come. Install is pretty straight forward. Follow the instructions and you should have it up in running in no time. One thing to keep in mind, since this is a wired device, is to make sure your door bell transformer is properly rated for a video door bell. When I installed my first Ring doorbell a few years ago, I had to upgrade that so it is something to check into at your residence. This unit replaced an older ring door bell that is about 5 years old. The upgrade was definitely worth it. The 2K video is such an improvement! The two way talk, 3d motion detection and low light capabilities all work great and all are welcomed upgrades from my previous doorbell. The speaker for the two way talk is nice a clear, also. All around a great smart doorbell! Though not required, my main gripe is with the subscription service. You get standard features like live view, two way talk and instant alerts right out of the box, but if you want more you will have to subscribe. Overall, I certainly recommend this Ring doorbell if its capabilities suit you. There are a ton of door bells out there so it can get overwhelming for sure. You can't go wrong with Ring in my opinion.
