I must admit, I've been toying with the idea of buying a new Ring Doorbell for a while now - the Ring Door View Cam I had served us well. But now we have a house, rather than a flat, the doorbell didn't need to go through the spyhole.
The Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (UK - amzn.to/3LpsLUH / USA - amzn.to/3LmZGJG ) launched a week or so ago, and I knew that was the one for me.
In today's video I'm doing a DEEP DIVE into it.. and trying to cover all aspects of it. Looking at the selling points, what you get for your money, unboxing, installation and test video footage.
You can pick up a spare Ring Doorbell battery here - (UK - amzn.to/41AZIDd / USA - amzn.to/41QTrTM )

Thank you so much. I’m completely new to ring doorbells or any cameras and purchased this as I’m disabled and am starting to struggle to get to the door in time when someone knock. This was such a great comprehensive video. I love that you didn’t assume that we would know anything (ie I didn’t know how to get the battery out to charge). Thank you so much for your hard work compiling this video. I do RU-vid reviews in beauty and can appreciate the work that went into this

@@kiphakes I’m so glad. I’ll be watching as I suspect I’ll be getting a camera with light next as I often tell visitors to let themselves in the back door to save me getting up and I park at the back and the lighting is dreadful . By the way - one thing ring don’t tell you before you buy is what the preset quick replies are. I understand from another review that there is one that would suit my situation ie it takes me longer to get to the door so please wait? Is that right for this model? If I’m getting up to get to the door it would be easier to have the preset running so I can concentrate on not falling over rather than talking !

Kip, Thanks ever so much. Great presentation across the board. You answered one of my big questions: mounting the doorbell camera at 1.2 metres? As you stated you thought yourself it might be a tad low as I did. However, the 1.2 metre mounting sets the camera field of view very well especially, the beneficial lowest point of the camera field of view i.e. ground level. Thanks again.

Really helpful on set up thanks. I'm less interested in using it for security. It's a doorbell and it's the intercom aspect of its functions that's of interest too. The quality of the speaker, delay if any in real time use, any WiFi challenges. The advice on having a second battery as month long battery life is off putting and fiddling about with screws on the underside of the casing to change are good to know. Might be worth getting it wired in. Thank you.

I mean there is a slight delay, but nothing horrendous. I’d recommend watching my other video about the solar charger for it as it can massively improve the battery life ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OjXcRXI9qQg.htmlsi=wZtxq0gNYJrY8f0a

Hi Kip, I am an 84 year old man, and I have been considering a Ring Video Doorbell for 2-3 years. I didn't think that they were good enough for the money. Your video and comments are very helpful and persuasive, but can you advise me on the following please.? I live on a main road, (30ft away), and traffic is busy, pedestrians not so much . Would this camera keep bleeping alerts, or could the zone be adjusted to prevent this? I have also just received a new SKY Router. Not being very technical, would the Ring video doorbell automatically link to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz, as I don't know how to switch or select which one is appropriate. Many thanks. Great video!

Hi Terry - I’ll try my best to help! No, if you turn off the motion alerts you will receive minimal alerts for cars. You can keep people and package alerts on (if you’d like). It will play nicely with your Sky Router, my parents are with Sky. You don’t need to do anything, it will just connect to the best one it finds.

Most important fact about a battery powered door bell - how long does the battery last - did I miss that somewhere??

@kiphakes 5 месяцев назад

I’m certain it’s mentioned- however It’s very much dependent on your home, and where it is positioned, and what options you have set. If you live on a busy road with tonnes of cars, people, etc passing all day everyday, then it will run down faster, if you live in arse end of nowhere it will last a LOT longer. Things like HDR, colour night vision etc all uses battery life too.. Ring say it’s around 3 months, I’d say maybe a month with all the options I want turned on. HOWEVER, if you use the solar charger (I’ve made a video about it) you’re looking at 2-3 months - but again, that also depends on the position of your house, where in the world you live etc..

@michaelthomas3646 Год назад

what you could do to improve sound on a windy day is glue a section of womens tights to the cover infront of the microphone, maybe double the layer of tights, that will reduce wind noise a bit like a pop filter, the problem with manufacturing these days is make it cheap as the consumer wants, which means skimping on better quality items like a better microphone, or removing things like a pop filter from the product. which then defeats the one thing you really want to do is hear who is at the door.

Hi Kip . This might sound like a stupid question but if I where on holiday abroad and had not paid for any subscription would I be alerted on my phone of someone at my door…

@kiphakes 4 месяца назад

My understanding is You only get real time live footage, so yes it would notify you that someone is at the door, and you could go to the live footage to see and speak, however, if you missed the notification and tried to look back at who was at the door it wouldn’t show you.
