4 out of 5 stars
Camera upgraded
Got this as a replacement from my old camera from a different company and theres immediately a huge difference. The camera quality is much sharper and I can even see the lines and dirt on the floor and walls now. If a bug was to crawl along the floor I'd definitely be able to see it clearly. I was worried about the round "fisheye" type lens since I'm just not a huge fan of it, but this camera actually sees a good deal further down the hall than my old one so I reckon I can deal with the lens shape. I live in a very humid and hot area and the old camera would fog up very easily but this one has yet to fog up and its the middle of June so if it would fog up, now would be the time. The audio quality is good and I can individually adjust the doorbell volume and the speaker volume. When in live view, my old camera would make me tap the screen repeatedly to make sure the live view continued and it would still just automatically shut it off and not let me re-open the live view, this camera doesn't do that, you turn it on and it stays on until you exit out so less work for me. Being in an apartment I am not allowed to screw or install it in any wall, so I have it in a door mount and it fit in my current mount I used for my old camera so it was an easy installation for me. It hasn't had any difficulties or disconnects with the wifi yet. I do wish the motion detection was a bit quicker as it catches motion more in the very middle of the camera rather than when it comes into the frame, but I also don't have the sensitivity all the way up to save battery life so it could just be that. Either way it still catches motion better than my old camera so I wont be a choosy beggar.

    Easy setup with easy to follow instructions. Picture is super clear and you can set the area it shows and records. Even at night the picture is crisp and not much difference from day time.
    Sound quality is super clear and sounds like they are standing right in from of you.
    There is so much you can do to make this work that’s specific to you and your needs. They offer prerecorded messages that can play when someone rings the bell with options of what you would like to say. We get a lot of solicitors in my area so I have it set to tell them we are not Interested. Works like a charm. They also offer holiday versions with the ability to leave a message. All at no extra cost.
    We have 2 ring outdoor cameras and they all sync up easily. You get the first month (I think) of saved video for later viewing for free then there is a monthly or yearly charge to continue to save with no limit on amount saved. The yearly price is $100. which is super cheap compared to other brands. That price is for all of doorbell and cameras too.
    Overall the best option in doorbell cameras out there.

    The Ring Doorbell Camera is excellent. I think it's the best doorbell camera I've used and I've been through several doorbell cameras. I purchased this Doorbell Camera when it went on sell on Amazon. I immediately liked this Doorbell Camera. The clarity of the video and the user friendly app are a plus. I didn't want to have a doorbell where I have to take the whole doorbell off to charge, but even though I must remove the doorbell to charge it, I get a warning when the doorbell is at 30% which gives me plenty of time to charge it before the battery dies and I still have the Blink as my backup while I charge the Ring doorbell. I also like the neighborhood community in the app which updates me with what is going on in the neighborhood. The only issue I had with this camera was once it disconnected from the WiFi and I'm unsure why. There were no power outages or bad weather when that happened. This must be an issue for people at times because I was able to Google it to find a solution but it was very difficult to get it to connect back to the WiFi. I tried via instructions found but and it seemed to be an issue with the Ring temporary WiFi connection which then connects to my WiFi. I had to remove the doorbell for that also. Resetting the device did not work. Adding the device back to the account as if it were a new device worked. I'm really hoping this doesn't happen again. Other than that, the camera performs well. Another feature I like is that I can chose motion detection of humans or all motion detection. It's so much to this video camera. It's excellent.

    I have good number of cameras, doorbells, and alexa devices all configured and paired together. I bought this doorbell to upgrade my back door. Its definitely came a long way since the first gen. Not to keen on the built in battery but we'll see how that works!!

    These have a lot of great options and features that really give you good control over your devices with a few major cons that really are hard to overlook and should cost a few stars.

    Pros. Great alerts, great video quality for just 1080p, range, and night vision. I can have it setup so if my front door gets motion alert, all the flood lights and cameras that can see that area light up and record. You can share with family members and determine what cameras they can see and which they cannot. I.E. we have a bedroom cam for our rottweiler puppy that has a large crate we can see right into during these early training months. I'd rather not having my teenage kids seeing into my bedroom but them getting motion alerts for the doors is awesome.

    Cons. Local storage is blocked behind a paywall. I literally bought a 512gb microsd card and found out when I couldn't find where to enable that you have to not just pay more than what I was before with one camera, but you have to move up to their most expensive 20 dollar a month plan!!! What... The...heck Ring!??! I'm reading also that even after you do this, you can't use both cloud AND local storage.. This is double dumb and downright either HORRENDOUS design by the developers or just intentional extortion via nickel and diming of their already paying customers.

    I'm a 25+ year IT professional. In EVERY camera system or data suite you care about, local and cloud storage together IS the bee's knees. It should be available on cloud no matter what in case of fire/ring alarm theft and local storage used for faster replaying of recent events up to the amount of data your SD card can hold.

    Rather than giving in and paying, I returned the SD card and said screw it. I previously was paying about 3.99 a month for my single ring camera. I got tired of maintaining my local IP camera setup and needing a vm (virtual machine) running to record and eating up storage on my NAS to save it all. I was stoked when I saw the local storage. I dropped over 500 bucks on doorbell cams for back and side doors, flood light cams, and interior cameras to ensure our pets left home are fine and being checked on when we go on longer trips. I was OK moving up to 10 dollars a month for all that I get. Adding another 10 on top for something that costs RING NOTHING for me to use. is unacceptable. This is just a money-grabbing paywall and it needs to stop.

    Lastly, the biggest operational con besides this is the poor integration with Alexa for scheduling camera functions. I.E. I do like getting driveway alerts via the alexa when motion is detected because its a blind spot inside my house. One window on the back side of the house can see the driveway due to garage location. I set a schedule or snooze it to not give motion alerts if I'm having people over and it completely ignores this schedule and gives endless motion alerts via the alexa devices. Stupid annoying and it seems people have been complaining about this on the forum since 2018.

    Great way to keep an eye on your front door. The video quality is clear, both day and night, and the motion detection works well, sending timely alerts to my phone. Installation is straightforward, whether you use the built-in battery or wire it to an existing doorbell. The two-way audio is handy for talking to visitors, but there can be a slight delay sometimes. A Ring Protect subscription is needed to save recordings, which is an extra cost to consider. Overall, it’s a solid choice for better home security and convenience!
