5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant
Ring reviews haven't always been positive over the years with stories of poor connections to the app and long delays before your phone notifies you of somebody being at the door. This is all a thing of the past thankfully.Firstly, the set up process is super easy. You simply scan a code on the box or back of door bell and you'll be guided through each step from how to install the doorbell itself, to setting up the app on your phone and what each of the settings do. Scan the QR code and follow the instructions on screen. There is a voice over coming out of the doorbell also to tell you when it's being set up and complete. Honestly, there is nothing difficult whatsoever about this and even if you don't get it (which you will!) then you can watch Youtube videos for more help.The hardest part is drilling the wall outside which if your like me and hate DIY will take forever. But that's because I'm awful at DIY and hate it! However, I drilled four holes using the back plate as a guide, whacked in the plugs and screwed on the plate. Perhaps Im not a DIY disaster after all. The wife needs to reward with a lifetime of chocolate for this!!Once the plate is on the wall, charging the ring doorbell is easy. It comes with an orange key shaped like a letter J...like a hook, which pressed into a hole underneath the doorbell to release it off the plate. You then bring it in and charge it up!As for how long it takes to charge...well...I've not done it from 0% upwards yet as it had about 85% charge when it arrived. It comes with a cable for charging by the way. I imagine it'll take a couple of hours to fully charge but do this later on at night when you're less likely to get visitors and you won't miss anybody at the door.There are many settings. You can share the doorbell with others, so once you've got it all set up on your phone you can share with others. Do all the setting up on your phone first whilst the doorbell is indoors and on the table in front of you, otherwise you'll be in and out testing settings.You can have motion detection on and you SHOULD! When it detects a person or car etc it will record a short video until they leave the area. You can have motion alerts on or off. I have the off because it drives me mad letting me know every time somebody stands in our driveway (our parking spaces are right up to the front of our houses..and our neighbour has to stand in our parking space when getting out of his car...so it would pick up his 'motion'). So I turned motion detection ON but motion 'alerts' off which means its recording anybody near the house and recording it but not actually telling me about it as it happens. Because it doesn't matter as I'm at home a lot and can see them from where I sit anyway. You'll need to play with this to suit. But you can set your doorbell to HOME or AWAY. When home for example you can set up alerts as I've described above...but when Im away I press the away button and it can be set to notify me of anybody in the driveway for example (different settings you can tweak). This is a great idea.We bought the Ring camera too for the back of the house and set up was easy and it works in tandem with the doorbell. We also bought the Chime separately. I recommend this if for example you have guests babysitting and don't want them to have access to your doorbell's camera. For example, the mother in law.... she doesn't need to see the camera when she's at her own house so why give her access to it? But without access to it she can't hear anything when somebody comes to the door unless you have a chime, because otherwise the doorbell is ringing the home owners phone! So get a chime...they are brilliant!The camera quality is good.... don't expect 4K quality...you don't need it to be. As long as it's clear day and night, which it is, and you can see people's faces and car registration plates etc, then that's all you need. It's the same with a dash cam. You're not Steven Spielberg ... it needs to be clear but not 4K cinematic!!The app is great because you can see the wifi strength and battery power left. How long battery lasts depends on the settings you use. If you have got it detecting movement constantly instead of on the lowest setting, and taking snapshots all the time then you won't get as long on the battery. Wifi signal depends on where you're router is and the speed of your broadband. Lots of people have great broadband nowadays. We are on Full Fibre 500 which is fast, so even when the kids are draining the internet we still get good doorbell connection.We've never had it drop signal. With good internet, your phone will notify you of somebody being at the door within two seconds. You can also set your phone to get drop down notifications when somebody is at the door, OR for your phone to actually ring like it's a phone call. We have it on the latter, as you're more likely to hear/see it and answer it as a call and can easily miss a notification.One cool thing is that if you have an Apple Watch, you'll see a photo of the person at your door appear on your watch when they press the door bell.You can choose from a ton of features including the ability to have Ant and Dec talk to them as soon as they press the doorbell to let them know you're on your way etc. There's xmas themes and plain chimes. Lots to choose from.Sound quality is good also. There's no latency, so you won't end up talking over each other like a terrible TV satellite link up because of delays.Another cool feature is being able to set ZONES. My neighbour was moaning that his ring doorbell was picking up the cars driving past in the street, but that's because he didn't select which ZONE should activate the motion sensor. What this means is, during set up (and any point you like afterwards) you can see your driveway / street in the app and draw a zone on the screen where you want it to activate the motion alerts. For us, we want notifications when somebody is directly outside the door and in any of the two parking spots outside but NOT the neighbour's parking spots which are clearly visible as its a wide angle (fisheye) lens on the doorbell. So we draw a blue shape around the area we want to be detected. This allows us to ignore anybody driving past on the street.Finally, there's a parcels alert which tells you when somebody is at your door with a parcel.The list goes on, and ironically I have to leave this review now to answer the door.Get the ring doorbell.....it's incredible and come a long way since V1 several years ago.My version is the latest one in a nice brown/copper colour.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easily placed...
Very easy to put in place and set up on the app and wifi. Easily linked to our already-in-place video cameras and - to-date - has worked perfectly. Motion detection is effective and the sound quality has been very good, but, of course, this depends on the quality of the WiFi connection. The battery seems to be more than adequate - we're currently at 89% after 6 weeks usage. Brightness is generally fine.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect smart doorbell
We recently switched to the ring smart camera system from a competitor and immediately are extremely happy with the quality and ease of use. Setting the system up was very easy and good value for money.Additionally being able to hardwire these cameras and doorbell allows for much easier use. The motion detection is accurate and with a lot of customisation options is perfect for creating the exact security system you need. The lag is very limited.Overall very happy and highly recommend!
4.0 out of 5 stars Easy fitting and good picture quality
Good picture quality and easy to fit. Good options for setting zones you want monitored to stop it picking up people walking past on the pavement. I’d advised people to check they are ok with the Ring subscription options before going for this but otherwise a nice tidy bit of kit and easy to connect to iPads and phones. You can purchase different covers if you want to change the look - shame there are no other options by default except the weird brushed copper , I just wanted black!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works Flawlessly
I bought this to replace an older, different brand Doorbell Camera. Setup was simple and took about 10 minutes in total, connecting to my WiFi without a hitch. The app is very comprehensive and options aren't difficult to find and adjust. I've linked this with both my Echo Show 5 and 8, meaning I can ask my Echo Shows to show me the view outside my front door. I still have time left on my free trial period of the subscription, but I've already purchased the Standard tier at £7.99 a month so I have no break in service. People have being griping about the paid sub, calling it a scam. A scam always involves an element of deception or fraud. The item description makes it quite clear that a paid subscription is needed to take full advantage of all the abilities of the doorbell, such as recording footage. If you didn't take the time to read the description before you purchased the item, well, that's down to you. If you did read it and didn't like the idea of having to pay, then why did you buy it in the first place? And come on - £7.99 a month? That's less than 1p a day. I'm really pleased with the Ring; the video is nice and sharp and the response to outside movement is more than acceptable. Forget the naysayers and go ahead.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good product,
I found this to be a good piece of kit that adds security to my home. I bought this together with The Chime about a month ago. The battery for the Ring is still about 60%.Good images and play back. Set up and use with the App very easy.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
Easy to use and install. Sound quality is good when using the app. Camera quality is also good.
4.0 out of 5 stars 360 degree vision and head to toe view.
No issues so far since it was set-up a week ago. Super Clear images day or night. I haven't subscribed with Ring, so not sure if any of the functions will change when the free period ends.
Gute Qualität
Einfach zu montieren, gute Bildqualität und Funktionstauglichkeit. Batterielaufzeit kann ich noch nichts sagen. Würd ich jedenfalls wieder kaufen.

Elle est simple à installer, fonctionne très bien, et offre une tranquillité d’esprit grâce à sa qualité d’image et ses alertes instantanées.
Genial
La instalación es muy sencilla y su funcionamiento también. Lo puedes personalizar bastante a lo que que quieres restringir, como quieres que te avise, que zona ver...Lo tengo a bastante distancia del wifi de casa y funciona bastante bien. Se entrecorta un poco, pero es por la distancia física que hay, no porque no funcione bien. Se visualiza claramente quien llama y se puede habla en directo, o bien dejar qun mensaje pregrabado de respuesta. Me parece un aparato muy útil y recomendable para los que tenemos la puerta de acceso lejos de la casa.
Fantastico.
Articolo veramente ben fatto e funzionale, è già il secondo che acquisto, facile installazione e la batteria dura molto tempo.Grazie.
Best doorbell ever
