Have had mine for 30+ days now, and the wife and I love it. Also, I did know of the subscription before purchase, well worth it. Very easy to install and setup.

@SteveDOES 4 года назад

Yea, the subscription is fine when you know about it going into it. Someone one told me that they updated the box so it now clearly says there is a subscription fee.

Thank you for explaining slowly unlike so many others who speak at 100mph. I would never of thought to fit the door bell on my front door! Great idea

@jbn0613 5 лет назад

Got one of these for my dad's room in assisted living. That way I could check on him when I wasn't there. Caught a woman on video going into his room and stealing things. (not one of the regular employees). Filed felony burglary charges against her and emailed the video evidence to the police officer that took the report. Bingo! More than one use and worth every penny of $30/year.

@R L Not everyone is equipped or able to care for the elderly. I know people that prefer to live in assisted living rather than with their children. It is a more structured environment that is catered to them. There are some bad ones but there are good ones as well.

If I was informed of the subscription I may not have rushed to purchase the Ring Doorbell. Steve Does the job once more

I thought your review was very thorough and included some really great comments, like mounting it on the door or that you can basically put it anywhere due to it being battery operated and has wifi coverage. So its good for an outdoor camera if one wanted. My words, not yours. You just gave me some new ideas for security uses. Thanks for that. I appreciated the review. Thank you

Eufy has some good doorbells that don't require a subscription.

@billv123 3 года назад

I agree with your comments regarding the monthly fee to make the unit manageable. Most importantly you also lose the human detection feature without a subscription. For this reason I have pretty much discarded Ring and now use Eufy products. Included onboard storage, 2k camera resolution, no monthly fees. Eufy has all of the best features and none of the negatives.

@peteandtessTube 2 года назад

Excellent point made early in your video… that I can mount this on my door facing out rather than my current doorbell location. Now I’ll have to look into the subscription aspect. That is per Ring device so it would be 60 per year for Front and Back door. I learned from your Stick Up video. Not a Big Deal but good to know. Thanks!

@whatdoidonext2234 4 года назад

VERY well done and helps you take into consideration if there is background movement to activate the camera, if the sun angle / direction is coming into the lens so that the image will be backlit and all facial features hard to see. And, LOVE the "Lets see what's inside the box... BAM!" You still didn't say if the battery was charging by being hard wired. You just said the display showed if it was hard wired or on battery.

@RJM316 4 года назад

Thank you for your detailed review of the Ring Video Doorbell 2. This was extremely helpful!

@bazintrickways3045 5 лет назад

So part of the system, that is amazing in my opinion, is the cellular backup option that comes with the alarm system. This means that if someone was to cut your phone line and even, somehow, trip your power, your cameras are still going and transmitting to the cloud. $10 a month for this system with no installation fee and the easy setup plus wide range of simple device setups, makes it very simple to make a pretty awesome home security system. The $10/ month for this option seems like a no brainer for me. Also cloud based storage for $10 a month on an easily expandable security system is a steal. Imagine you want another camera, well a few hundred and an easy instal and you are golden.

@SteveDOES 5 лет назад

I"m going to have to check out this Alarm System. I sounds like a game changer for the Ring system.

@bazintrickways3045 5 лет назад

Steve DOES I just had an incident where my internet went out. Cellular backup is just for the alarms, but I have to say it’s amazing. Felt 100% amazing that it kept me updated and kept working. I turned it on and off at will, from my phone. My internet was actually down for a few days and it was a relief to know my property had its alarms all in tact. Shame it wasn’t the cameras, my mistake about that, but the alarms and cellular backup was a nice touch.

@raythomas4687 3 года назад

Great! review. Clear, Precise, quick and informational. Thank you.

@Prescottbush314 4 года назад

Thanks, very helpful to know that if it's hardwired that it will activate your own existing door bell chime in addition to Ring's outdoor chime. Also helpful is your pointing out to install it front and center to get the video like we see on the promo videos for the product. Unfortunately, our existing door bell is on the right side of our porch so we can only hardwire on that side so we won't get a frontal view of the person. If we stick it in the front center of our security gate, then our existing door bell on the right side will be confusing and the person may just ring that one instead.

@mads4it555 3 года назад

Thank you for posting this. It's the first independent review I've seen for it. I love that they would replace it if it was stolen, but how long would that take? I hate that you have to pay a subscription forever, I think that's cheeky and a bit tasteless when so many already pay for cloud storage of their own. I also think that given the battery takes so long to charge, it should come with a 50% off a 2nd battery voucher. They really are trying to rake the money in anyway they can. Anyway great review and again thanks.

@bobmcl2008 5 лет назад

The 5 minute project took a couple hours as the Ring was too wide for the existing space. I mounted a piece of wood to the uneven brick at the 4' height and extended the wire. The angle bracket would have made the job much simpler, but ruin the view. And the view is a fish eye, but not too bad. It would be nice if they just had flat spacer to tuck in the wiring. I would have bought the Pro that fits my door, but the ratings are so so, and I just read that it needs a 16-24 volt transformer. I would have to replace my 10 volt existing doorbell and transformer. And yes, you did a great video.

@apegues 4 года назад

I’ve owned the Ring Doorbell Cam for 5 years now and I’ve never, at any time, felt the Storage was a HIDDEN cost, they’ve been upfront about it even before I purchased it, of coarse, I’m in the industry so Cloud Storage costs are no stranger to me because I know what’s behind those costs and I feel they are reasonable.

@T04U2C 5 лет назад

Skip to 10:30 to hear more about the "hidden costs" (the subscription). By the way, if you get the Video Doorbell 2 + Chime combo, you also get a year subscription included.

Therese things are fab.

Fun fact ~ we visited Michael Jackson’s Neverland ranch last year (just the outside the gates area, we didn’t go in) and as well as a tonne of huge cameras there is the Ring floodlight on the front gate :)

@essexblues6803 4 года назад

My Ring 2 was 2metres from the router. It lagged terribly, if in shower by the time the Chime dinged. the visitor was gone when I got downstairs. AFter 13 months (I would not subscribe) it decides to go awol. No sounds no vid, nothing. Took it down and it is showing damp inside. I live near a River so air moistire is common. did a factory reset and tried again it just fell over. I had ring 2 and 2 chimes, What a friggin waste of money. I now find out it is not IP rated in UK, yet it is sold as waterproof? I now have a £85.00 Chinese brand, that is also 1080p, came with mini sdcard for auto loop recording, you can replace and add upto 128mb. Yes it advertised it has onlige storage which you can pay for. It can screenshot from the live video , Chat in live view, so you can shout at your neigbours dog or cat having a crap on your garden etc etc. So far it is briliant. Neglible lag of only 1- 2 sec my phone will either ring or ding for motion. So i have time to open app and talk to visitor before they dump parcel in the bin or with a neighbor. Ring is a good design, nicely thought out IT project. But i just dose not deliver the goods. Ring always blame the wifi connection etc etc. Better software would solve that, dont blame the customer all the time. Peronoally I think Ring should be taken to court over claiming to be waterproof when in fact it is not UK IP rated. Every thng they do is now expensive. There are now better cheaper IP rated systems emerging, so why buy Ring?

Excellent Video - Finally someone explained the "what if" you DON'T pay for any plan with Ring. Seems to suck that you can't even save it for like and hour - to be able to "screen grab" it using a "Screen Record" software (free out there). Also note: Despite comments below, you CAN see live view on your PC (with Windows 10 for example) using the app. This is not just for mobile devices. Works well on my computer too - and I can leave it on (and speakers on) and hear the doorbell chime AND motion detection alerts (choosing from a wide range of ring-tones) Just go to google play store (on the PC) and install the app (for PC) and choose eg: Windows 10 at 64bit etc.. Works good on PC However, same as with table and phone view, sometimes the Live View doesn't come up until 2 or 3 tries. Comes up black-screen. Just back up, do it again, then boom, comes on. Usually comes up first try though.

Been considering one of these but I hate subscriptions - Back in the day I worked for a printer manufacturer (Ink jets etc). They worked out that even if they gave the printer away, they would make all their profit (and some) from the on-going ink supplies, this seems the same concept to me. In the end I decided to fit a proper camera system with a massive HDD.

I have both the Ring door bell and the Blink system. In my experience the Blink wins hands down. Easy to adjust, just as good pictures and you don’t have an after market fee. And I have had several incidents that I’ve called the police on. They look at the videos and say “ that’s nice” so I’m not that thrilled with that aspect. And as far a the Ring goes , it drives me crazy with the alerts. Every time a car drives down the street and adjusting it isn’t easy. So if someone is thinking about a surveillance system, I’d look at Blink. Just my opinion.

The Ring was a doorbell so it only could look straight ahead where the Blink can be put at an angle so it’s angle gets the front door from the side sobI don’t get all the cars, just the people on my porch. And I didn’t like the Ring charged you every month so you can see your pictures. I prefer the Blink . But it’s all personal preference. Good luck

Ring have a really good product, yes they could be a bit more up front with sub costs. I use 3x stick up cams, i work 50mile away so they give me real piece of mind. I've caught unwanted guests 5x in the 2yrs the cams have been up. 👍 Do Ring sell a gatling gun door bell" 😂 a nice GAU-8 version will do 👍

I’ve had the ring pro for 2 years now. Im not sure on the later modules but I connect mine on 5g WiFi and the picture looks fantastic. I now have 7 ring cameras and one thing folks overlook is WiFi quality . Any one of my cameras will open the video feed In less than 5 seconds but I have 5 ubiquiti access points in my home. You must have good WiFi signal for any wireless camera to compress a 1080p stream to your device and I see lots of people ignoring that. My 2 cents.

Thank you for that. I just ordered a Ring and am anxiously waiting for it. My thoughts about the complaints mentioned, was that issues WERE a WIFI issue. Perhaps a WiFi extended would correct the issues. Subscription cost is $30/yr., It's $2.50 a month! This includes your neighborhood, with a map of other Ring owners, so you can share videos between neighbors of possible crime. For me, this is a no brainier. I could be out of the country and be able to answer my door. Just adding my two cents.

I can deal with $3 a month. I just installed mine and I'm happy with it.

@ejalcairo1203 4 года назад

That's Nice. By the way how many ring device do you had? if you got 2 or more i recommend $100 annual cuz you can save $200.

@peterleiza4351 4 года назад

I have had a chance to use it over 2 months and am now hating it. It has bad problems with motion detection and alerts and recording. You're required to turn on live feed to see more than 20 seconds after detection or no recording. Also it can be tricked into not recording after 20 seconds it needs another 30 seconds to reset to detect and record again. MINE IS GOING BACK TO LOWES WHERE I BOUGHT IT. The RING. tech team seems untrained as to fix these and other problems after 5 long calls. DO NOT BELIEVE THESE GREAT REVIEWS AS THEY ARE PROBABLY RING BOUGHT REVIEWS. I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST BUYING ONE. TAKE YOUR OWN RISK.

22nd December 2019 - re : Storage of footage. Amazon has given permission to the police to access, download and use ANY content held on their cloud storage from these devices. From SCMP : Police officers who download videos from homeowners’ Ring doorbell cameras can keep them forever and share them with whomever they’d like without providing evidence of a crime, the Amazon-owned firm told a lawmaker earlier this month. More than 600 police forces across the country have entered into partnerships with the camera giant allowing them to quickly request and download video captured by Ring’s motion-detecting, internet-connected cameras inside and around Americans’ homes. The company says the videos can be a critical tool in helping law enforcement investigate crimes such as trespassing, burglary and package theft. But some lawmakers and privacy advocates say the systems could also empower more widespread police surveillance, fuel racial profiling and spark new neighbourhood fears. In September, following a report about Ring’s police partnerships in The Washington Post, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., wrote to Amazon asking for details about how it protected the privacy and civil liberties of people caught on camera. Since that report, the number of law enforcement agencies working with Ring has increased nearly 50 per cent.

I bought The Ring and signed the 7-day guarantee. It's day 7 and I feel really odd. Going to record myself just in case something happens to me. I'm worried. Thanks for the review.

@prostheticaim8030 5 лет назад

Keep in mind that they do have to store the data for every single customer in that case in the server somewhere that server is going to have costs associated to maintenance running storage cooling faults a measly $30 per year is pretty amazing for storing video

Thank you for bringing to the attention that Arlo is the only major company that offer 7 days free cloud storage. If I paid over $200 for a damn camera, offer at least free 24 hours of storage. We all know it's all about the Benjamins for these companies. This is why i stuck with Arlo now that Arlo has a doorbell also.

@TomokoAbe_ 4 года назад

Since I have ring security system, this is no extra cost for monitoring other than buying the device and installing it. Anything that runs cameras are best hard wired since infrared takes a lot of power. Also note every single time a car goes by your house the sensors will start recording, so yeah I would hard wire this.
