Thank you for the video I was wondering if that was hard to install, Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁

Thank you 👍🏻

Thank you!!! The peephole on my door is covered with paint. I’ve been trying to look for a solution to this.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻

[@foredimples529]

I had that problem. I used a blade to help get it off.

[@syukur1742ify]

Hi, how loud is the door chime? How will we be notified if someone press the Bell? Will there be a chime? If am not holding my phone, Will I hear a door Bell, like those old doorbell? Do we need a separate device for chime?

[@tutsecret499]

I think the bell should coming via your phone so the bell ring does not bother the neighbors and preserve your privacy. You don't want your whole neighbor hears your bell and knowing all the activity in your who comes and who does not come.

[@YankoBelov]

Hi! How think is your door? It looks more thank 55mm? Mine is 60mm will it work?

[@wskwong2000]

any speculation on why Ring discontinue such a great product? I do understand most apartment doors need to be fire-rated. Will this compromise the fire-proof rating of the door?

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

I don't think so.

[@GSMusikMix]

It’s back in stock as of today I’m mad bc I bought video door bell 4 started using with the side door mount but in winter I noticed it was letting through a lot cold air. Now I’m thinking about buying this and rid of video doorbell 4

[@wskwong2000]

@@GSMusikMix the Ring 4 is meant to be mounted on the wall. How did it let the cold air in?

@@wskwong2000 so I am using a no drill anttitheft door mount from Amazon it goes on your door. When I close the door It create little gap which let cold air in. I got weather strip all around the door.

[@cruzo406]

Hi Adam, did u figure anything else about solving the Live lag? Did you check the Signal Strength on Settings-Device Health ? I have the same issue and supposedly if you have a signal lower then -60 we should be fine, but I am at -55 and having problems. Thanks in advance.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Hey Cruz. Thanks for the awesome feedback. My RSSI is -41 and like you said I suspect the signal strength is the culprit here. At least that's what it says on Ring's website. This is why I will add a wifi booster and check it again. Will let you know. Thanks 👍🏻

[@cruzo406]

@@WYSbyAdamLash Hi, according to ring,if rssi is lower then -60, system should work fine. SO according to Ring, your rssi of -41 should work fine. But, I don't believe the issue is the signal strength. So this morning, I remove my ring peephole from the door (at -55 rssi) and just placed it next to the modem. RSSI dropped to -9. The Live view would then take about 3-4 seconds to come up. Great ! However, I then tried live view on my Ring floodlight (-49 rssi) and it took about 4 seconds ! What? It usually takes forever or none. I don't think so, but maybe there is some communication between the ring devices. I mean, why would my floodlight all of a sudden be almost as fast as the device at -9 rssi. I tried a few minutes later the Live view on both devices and it would take up to 15 seconds. Not good! At this point, I think having a stronger signal does help a bit, but the lag problem for fast Live response has to do with bandwidth or ring video processing logic. Let's keep trying to figure it out. Thanks.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Can you tell me where Ring says less than -60 RSSI is better? We'll figure it out.

I forgot to mention, there is an app called Rapid Ring for Live view only and is supposed to provide faster live view connection. Try it

[@ginggia9596]

What about your existing doorbell ?

[@Aryannakoonce]

Can two people share the ring app, like my wife and i?

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Great question. Of course! The Shared User feature in your Ring app can be used to add family and friends to your Ring account. This will give them access to your Ring devices, allowing them to do a variety of things.

Hello, how thick is your door, I have a 6 cm one, and I don't know if it would work.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

This works with up to 55 mm, which is my door's width as well.

[@Barca4Life777]

If I live in an apartment and I want to record the video and audio without the person knowing (no sound responding on the cam to whoever is knocking) is that possible?

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Yes, it's possible. You just have to mute the microphone.

[@Barca4Life777]

@WYS by Adam Lash do you recommend to buy it in my circumstance? I have a neighbour who's been banging on my door HARD, and just verbally abusing me and my family and I want to have it on file for a while now. I'm trying to get switched out or have him kicked out but the people running this place are heedless to my complaints, it's ridiculous.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

For legal advice, please consult your lawyer. I believe that unless your rental contract specifically states that you're not allowed to install a security camera in front of your door (common area), then you may be allowed to. However, it's best to ask for permission from the landlord and to put a sign outside letting tenants know that your place is being protected by Ring surveillance. This is your personal security and you are not going to violate the rights of others, so why not?

[@dianeiverson3727]

@@Barca4Life777 Wow...if it helps any, I've got the same issue. I don't know who's doing it (I believe there are more than one) and I'm trying to find the right camera quick enough to catch them. I can't use anything with a lag and would prefer 24/7 recording, but my understanding is the Ring doesn't do that, only motion activated recording, which has a slight lag. These kids move too fast to have any kind of lag. I also need something that won't get stolen, so a peephole camera sounded idea, but not with a lag. Fortunately, my manager is encouraging me to get a camera.

[@mangos2888]

​@Diane Iverson You're going to want a hardwired security camera and hardwiring to your router for 24/7 recording and no lag. This system would go through its battery every day if it had to have continuous recording. Also, all it takes is high usage for lag to become an issue. ADT might be a better solution to meet you needs.

[@Tetsuo_]

Hey Adam thanks for making this video! I was wondering if you could tell us about the LED on the outside when motion is detected? When does it turn on, are people outside able to tell that it has detected motion, like does it turn blue? I’d prefer that the LED did not turn on every time it detects motion so as not to annoy neighbors or make them feel surveilled. So I was wondering if you could elaborate on when and when not the LED on the outside turns on? I can’t find a definitive answer in any other videos and the Ring online manual is vague as to when or when not the LED ring turns on. Thank you for your video and for your help answering this question.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

I'm sorry I don't have information on that.

[@Tetsuo_]

@@WYSbyAdamLash Thanks for the reply, not sure why no one will test out what the doorbell light does from the outside, from the perspective of a neighbor? Just curious know to know in what situation the blue LED light on the outside turns on when detection motion. I’m just wondering if eve time it detects motion someone on the outside can tell or not? Thank you!

[@dancefan831]

@@Tetsuo_ As far as I know, the light only comes on when you ring the bell. Haven't noticed it coming on when approaching my home even though I get the notification.

[@Tetsuo_]

@@dancefan831 Thank you very much for replying this is great news! Did you notice this at night I’m guessing IR lights are totally invisible to the eye, right? Thanks again I’ve asked this on five or six different review videos and yours is the only solid answer, I really appreciate it. ✨🏆✨

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

I have noticed noticed it at times when motion was detected.

[@craneraaudiovideo]

Can you put a 64 gig micro SD card in it for recording instead of going through a cloud service?

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

No, you can't. Why would you want to do that? The Cloud service is excellent and you don't have to worry about running out of space. However, vids get deleted after a certain period. You can also download or share the videos from the cloud.

[@MaxItUpwithMarta]

The delay is awful. My device is very close to the router. It is just engineered that way.

[@WYSbyAdamLash]

Thanks for your feedback. I don't have video delay issues, but sound issues. I can't clearly hear what the person is saying. I think there is some sort of lag.
