Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (newest model) | Head-to-Toe HD+ Video, motion detection & alerts, and Two-Way TalkReducing CO2

Works well. Easy to install and use on the app. I’m 64 and not computer savvy but even I figured it out. My wife recently had surgery and while she was supposed to be recovering, went out the front door and bent over to pick up a plant. She fell face first on the concrete, hard. Lots of blood and scrapes. Her eye looked just like she had been punched. The physical therapist was coming the next day and I knew what she was going to think. Luckily I had video evidence that her swollen black eye was not caused by me being a wife beater. But now I know when someone is at the door or a package is being delivered. It works with Alexa and announces someone at the door and you can talk with them even if you are not home.

I had the original Ring Battery Doorbell for years, and while it served me well, it eventually took on water—so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I'm so glad I did. This new model is a huge improvement in every way!The field of view is drastically better—I can now see the ground outside my door, which is a game-changer when it comes to checking for packages. Honestly, it feels like the field of view is twice as wide as the original, and that alone makes it worth the upgrade.Another great perk? It uses the same batteries as the old model. I’ve collected a few over the years, so being able to reuse them is super convenient.Now I’m seriously considering upgrading the Ring on my other door. If you’ve got an older model, this is 100% worth the upgrade!

I recently installed the Ring doorbell and it’s been a game-changer for my home security. The video quality is crisp, motion detection works flawlessly, and the two-way audio lets me communicate with visitors even when I’m not home.Installation was straightforward, and the app is user-friendly. Knowing I can monitor my front door from anywhere gives me peace of mind.I’m so impressed that I’ll definitely recommend this to everyone looking to upgrade their home security. A smart, reliable, and easy-to-use device!✅ Clear video and audio✅ Reliable motion alerts✅ Easy installation and app use✅ Great peace of mind❌ Battery life could be longer (depending on usage)

This is my second ring doorbell and I love it. It provides crystal clear view of who is at your front door The sound quality is excellent. The battery is very easy to remove to charge and it was very simple to hook it up to my Alexa echo. One criticism is when mounting it I removed my old ring and the screw openings on the new ring did not line up to what I previously drilled. If they had it would have made it much easier to install.

I recently upgraded my Ring Doorbell from a previous version. I DO like the greater field of view (head-to-toe) that comes with this one. However, the "package detection" leaves a little to be desired. There are a few times I've had a package sitting clearly in my camera's range, but it did not detect it.We recently had some electrical work done at the house, and I wanted to hardwire my Ring doorbell, thinking that I would no longer need a battery. Please note that this still uses a battery, and in the beginning, I wasn't seeing any difference in battery drainage. Within a few days, the battery had drained to near 80%. Ugh. I was tired of replacing the battery in this. UPDATE: We've had this Ring Doorbell for almost a month now, and I just checked the battery status. It is back up to 90%, so while it does use a battery, the hardwiring must somehow charge the battery, keeping it from draining as quickly. The real test will come this winter. However, battery draining is effected based on your settings and how often you access the camera.Of note, though, for those wanting to hardwire it...The reason I couldn't get my original Ring camera to ring the house doorbell was because the Ring doorbell requires a higher "amperage" (for lack of a better word) than a standard doorbell. Our electrician installed an upgraded doorbell transformer, and now it works. (Just don't forget to change that setting in your app to ring your home system.) Mine is set up to ring the house doorbell AND my plug-in Ring chime, which we have upstairs.

This doorbell works nicely to view and capture visitors coming to my door. It also gives a nice panoramic view to my front yard and the street. Night vision is just adequate but OK. The voice capability is another nice feature.I did find that the setup was a little tricky, asking me to go into my phone settings to complete the setup process. The setup videos I watched did not show this.

The ring doorbell plus is a good investment and will serve the needs of most homeowners.I have mine placed where a traditional doorbell would be placed.The flexible monitoring software allows you to set ranges of view to trigger an alert and set overall sensitivity. This allows you to avoid getting alerts for non-relevant behavior, and to turn up the sensitivity if you are concerned for some particular reason.The audio quality is good, the picture quality I would say is very good. I have been able to zoom in on stills from the videos with a relatively clear picture. When using the app, it is also easy to communicate via audio with someone who rings the doorbell.If you use a device like an Echo Dot, which I do, you can interface the Ring with the Echo Dot to have an alarm sound when someone rings it like a traditional doorbell.I'm pretty happy with this purchase.
