Ring - Video Doorbell Elite - Satin Nickel

I installed a wireless, battery powered Ring 3 Plus on a side door with no existing doorbell when they were first released around April 2020. We liked it so much, we wanted another Ring doorbell at our front door, but because of a stone exterior at the front door, there was no flat surface to mount something like the Ring 3. We did have an old intercom speaker mounted in the wall that didn't work that well. I found an electrician who was able to fabricate a PVC plate to cover up the old intercom space and mount the Ring Elite in its place. It turned out great. II had a CAT 5 cable already in place for the intercom, so just had to put the appropriate connector onto the wire and plug it into the Ring Elite. Picture quality is great. No worries about batteries because the Elite gets power over the cable. And no issues with connectivity to the internet as with some of the wireless cameras. This doorbell connects instantly and has been rock solid. I wish Ring would come up with some better installation options for wired cameras. If you can get a CAT 5 cable to the camera, it does a great job.

In less than 2 years the button breaks. It is made of very thin brittle plastic. The entire unit must be disassembled in order to replace the button. These are absolute junk.

bought like 15 different versions of this and none of them worked properly. It is really important to make sure your electrician knows what they are doing and tells you which version of the doorbell is the correct one for your home.

I had a skybell and it was slow and went off every time a car drove by. On this one you can set up where you would like it to look for motion and it works almost prefect. It does need a cat five to door location though.

Awesome device. The WiFi model lags too much and I almost gave up on ring until this upgrade.

Makes me feel at ease when I am at home! The Alexa abs the app are great

Not less you aren’t worried about anyone or folks coming to your house then this is the system for you but if you want a real system then go with company: Has to be by far the worthless security system of the century half the time it won’t work or it will tell hog activating live feed. It’s just a piece of crap but it’s cheap but not the system for criminals:
