@paulhorwitz 3 года назад

Really excellent video - enjoyed the comparison video clips. Was thinking of buying the 3 Plus on Amazon Black Friday deals but having seen this, and having verson 2 already, it is oviously a complete waste of money as the camera is just the same - not that great, and it's so disappointing that Ring didn't increase the quality as pretty poor. That said, this week, I was so grateful for having my Ring cameras which I've connected to my Amazon Echo's because at 3.31am this Thursday, had a 'voice notification' which woke me and my wife up, to say 'someone was on my drive'. I flew out of bed to my window and actually caught a thief in my car so shouted at him and he ran off immediately - probably saved me losing my car, so cannot thank Ring enough for these devices - not for their video quality but for the notification capability. Interestingly, there's no way that Ring allows you to contact them with stories like this which is a lost opportunity because these are an incredible device for the notification process alone.

@SWLinPHX 4 года назад

Take advantage of the Ring 3 by purchasing the Ring 2 on sale at Costco now for just $99 and that includes a full year subscription of recording instead of just 30 days. And that year will extend to all your Ring cams.

No it doesn't. The more devices, the more $ per year.

@airforcelogistics3301 4 года назад

Great comparison. Thanks.

@AgentSmith2K 4 года назад

The Ring Doorbell 3 has lacklustre improvements over the previous version. The main difference being the pre-roll, which doesn’t even work at night. The Ring Doorbell 2 does have settings where you can change the range sensitivity and person motion identification. The Ring 3 should have been a new form factor plus a 4K sensor.

@MusicLuv80 2 года назад

Got a question. I installed mine around 5ft 5in and it didn't pick up people too well. Does it have to be at 4ft as it says on the manual?

@TralfazConstruction 4 года назад

Well, at least the 3 still does what the 2 (or Pro) can do at night. I have to commend Ring, in general, for how slick the installation packages are and how the set up is uniform. My main concern, after a late-September 2018 installation, is how Ring will take the direct UV radiation of summertime. We got through last summer with flying colors. The Doorbell Pro still looks and functions like new. If the Doorbell Pro makes it through this summer I'll be pleased. I really don't know how long it can take all of that UV energy. My stepson installed a keypad entry lock on the front door in 2015 and the sun killed that screen in less than 18 months.

@Eamon973 4 года назад

Great honest review, completely agree a small incremental update for the sake of it with no major improvements to functionality. The only benefit of these doorbells are the flexible power options they offer. Wish they had gone tall on the aspect ratio and improved the resolution. Pre-roll video quality looks poor for an expensive doorbell. Ring and Arlo won’t be shipping their latest doorbells to Europe/Ireland for another few weeks so will see then which to buy, Eufy also looks good.

Thanks for doing the camera comparison in the end part of your video! It's indeed disappointing they didn't change the most important thing (camera) at all.

In Iowa, there's a few straight weeks in the winter where it gets consistently below -5 F, will this work still even though it says the temperature recommendation is -5 to 112 F? Also how do you charge the removable battery? Does it plug in like a phone or is there a separate docking charger that one has to purchase?

I had the Ring Pro last week which I liked for the most part with the exception of the sound being inaudible... Had to send back as I couldn't talk to anybody at the door.

I have had a Ring now for several years. It was easy to install since it took the place of my regular door bell . One big problem is that my front door is recessed so the light balance is very bad. Most of my front yard is blurred out because of the light balance difference. I would add a picture if I could. I have an Arlo Ultra camera system around the house and love it. I'm wondering if the Arlo camera is a better fit for my application

@lewis2011 4 года назад

Since you can hard wire the 3 will that eliminate a lot of the delayed recording issues the 2 has?

the delay issues are down to wifi signal and nothing else so hardwiring it wont make any difference apart from having to recharge your battery every 3 to 4 weeks

The first thing you should comment on is the subscription service requirement and it's price for the Ring doorbells. Don't wait until the last part of your product review. This is a biggest issue for most people. It's a never ending bill . That can add up to a lot of money for the life of these Ring doorbells.

@RealMark999 3 года назад

The Ring 3 has a dual band connection and the 5 GHz band makes sure that the doorbell doesn't get disconnected do to interference on the 2.4 GHz band. As far as getting a more secure WiFi signal to your doorbell, you may need to install a WiFi extender to extend the distance of the signal from your router.

@EdwardMillen 3 года назад

Does it not even try to record the pre-roll at night, or is it just that it's too dark to see anything? Also I noticed that in Ring's little video clip showing off the pre-roll, the main camera quality looks WAY better than the Doorbell 2 (certainly much higher framerate), so it is disappointing to find that it's actually not like that at all!

Great video once again but you fail to mention about . If you have some Amazon echo devices that display video. The new ring pro will automatically connect to these devices when the door bell is pushed. It will announce and. Instantly display who is at the door. So it you have a echo show or spot in your kitchen, bedroom and living room or all 3 in each area that I mention. You can instantly see and speak to the person who rang the doorbell though your echo devices. That was the selling point for me also I forgot to mention. It also automatically connects to your echo devices so there’s no need to go in the echo app to add it. Also if you have a good WiFi mesh system that dual band you can connect it to that and choose whatever band is better without buying the chime pro and for The pre-roll video feature some people homes are well lighted with porch lights or motion sensor porch lights battery power or AC.

@SteveDOES 4 года назад
