Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an excellent video doorbell. Some reviews are giving false information. Yes, it uses a long USB-C cable that has a rather larger ethernet adapter at the other end. When you connect a POE+ ethernet cable to the adapter it will works perfectly with ethernet internet. It does NOT require wifi when using a POE+ ethernet cable connected to the adapter! If you use a doorbell or transformer wire for power you then have to use wifi. I do not think that you can power this with doorbell/transformer wire, and use regular ethernet for internet. To use ethernet for internet you must use POE+ connection. POE+ can easily be added to any active ethernet internet cable by adding a POE+ injector or using a POE+ switch. In order to use ethernet with this doorbell you will need to be able to run/fish the USB-C cable down the wall to the doorbell (hence professional installation is recommended by Ring). Which means you will likely need attic access or perhaps have or create a removable access plate on the inside wall behind the doorbell in order to fish the USB-C wire to the doorbell, connect your ethernet cable to the adapter and secure the ethernet adapter and excess cable into the wall. Thank you Ring for finally making ethernet connected products!!! Now please make a wired 120v Floodlight cam that supports an ethernet option! In conclusion the doorbell works well, has great image quality and is a vast improvement over the previous Ring Pro Doorbell that I had. Just keep in mind that the doorbell does not have an ethernet port on the back. For ethernet you have to use the really long USB-C cable connected to a rather large ethernet adapter, or you have to connect the doorbell to traditional transformer/doorbell wires and use wifi. It has to be wired one way or the other. I didn’t spend much time testing the options (my only interest was ethernet), but as far as I could tell the doorbell does not support both a transformer/doorbell connection and an ethernet connection at the same time. It’s either POE+ for ethernet or doorbell transformer for wifi.
