The Ring Battery Doorbell will make an audible sound when someone presses the doorbell button, however, this will likely not be heard from inside the home. The Ring Chime allows you to hear notifications anywhere in your home when someone presses your doorbell or motion is detected. The Ring Chime is sold separately.

Q: how long does the battery last? and how long does it take to charge after battery is low?
A: Hi Angel. Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. The battery in the Ring Battery Doorbell is designed to go months between charges under normal conditions. However, real battery life is dependent on a number of factors, such as local weather, the number of events captured, and the frequency of activation. It can take up to 10 hours to fully charge the battery. To prevent excessive activity and preserve battery life, under "Motion Settings" for your device in the Ring app, you can: Adjust your "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a lower sensitivity. Redraw your "Customizable Motion Zones." Change "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically. You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion. You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery. To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app: Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard. Tap "Devices." Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check. Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage." Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length."

A: It needs to be Calibrated during setup. Unfortunately my door leaves to a busy street and I get all types of motion alerts.

A: Lithium Batteries below 32 degrees suffer a severe capacity reduction, an inability to to deliver high current due to slowed chemical reactions, and potential damage to the battery if charged while below freezing. The good news is that Ring should have a BMS system built in which can monitor temperatures and such.

Super useful, much easier to set up than expected, and the picture quality is fantastic. The alerts to my phone and Alexa devices make it nearly impossible to miss a delivery now!

I’ve been using the Ring Video Doorbell for a while now, and it has truly added both convenience and peace of mind to my home. The installation process was straightforward, with clear instructions and all necessary tools included. The video quality is crisp, even at night, and the motion detection works very well without too many false alerts. One of my favorite features is being able to see and talk to visitors directly from my phone, even when I’m not home. It also records clips when motion is detected, which makes it easy to check back later. The Ring app is user-friendly, and integration with Alexa is seamless.
