work as an alarm contractor but installed ring at my house.. crazy how many standard features are available that are considered "upgrades" on older systems. also crazy how people get locked into contracts and cant even arm or disarm their home from their phones or need to add more equipment to make it smart home.. i know older customers like simple stuff but it is 2021. the standard of living has gotten way better. but i love the ring system. 4 cameras (2 solar, 1 hardwire, 1 batt) solar never dip below 99%. and 10 sensors through the house.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

Crazy isn't it! Most people don't do ANY research and will pay through the a$$ when they do not need too!

[@ericpigg2689]

It is funny you said this. I am currently running a Ring doorbell and 3 stick up cams. I am adding the Ring home security system now. We had someone from Vivint come out recently and it would have cost us $100 to get the coverage we have with this system, plus the cost of equipment up front. No comparison. We live in an isolated area, and we we not even need the alarm to notify the police, just us.

I am considering the newest 2021 system to replace my soon to be sunsetted AT&T DigitalLife Alarm system. I have had the $100 per year Ring connection for the last 8 months - but have never done anything about getting the monitoring of the cameras I currently have. I know that's yet another hurdle. I am a retired computer technologist and believe it or not, just a bit overwhelmed.. Thank you for your video!

Great review. I love my Ring system. But I wish Ring would come up with a whole home hub in which the cameras could talk to that has battery and cellular backup so that if the power or internet goes out you can still see your cameras. BTW, the Ring stick up camera with solar panel is the way to go, you never have to recharge the battery.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Thanks for the sharing with the group!

[@johnszatkowski6898]

This is one of Ring's shortcomings - when the internet goes down so do the cameras. The system still functions (via. cellular) but you are blind to what is happening visually. The key is to get other brand cameras that still record locally to SD cards which can be reviewed at a later time as this fills in the gaps in the event of an internet outage.

[@BreakTime10101]

@@johnszatkowski6898 All the meanwhile someone is breaking into your house stealing your stuff, as you watch it later on.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

@@BreakTime10101 , If your house is going to get broken into it's going to get broken into. As you know Ring has the cellular failover and at least know what's happening and can alert the PO-PO. The other cameras that record in the event of an internet outage are for insurance purposes. If you can prove your TV or whatever was carried out the door and have it on video it makes it pretty hard for your insurance company to dispute it! Did you ever think about that? Since you use Ring what is your solution to a downed internet connection?

[@joewest1972]

Maybe because I'm old (70) maybe because I'm just not tech savvy, but questions do all these peripheral devices depend on a strong signal from your existing wifi?? Battery operated cameras obviously are going to require I go fish out the ladder, (not something to look forward to) but, how often? Does the software tell you when peripheral battery life is low or am I left to guess? Also could you elaborate a bit on monthly fees? You mentioned one for $10, but it sounded like other options exist. Thanks

[@BreakTime10101]

One other question I have, I see you have 3 doorbells, are they all hardwired into your house wired doorbell, or do you have the wireless chimes throughout the house? Also, can each doorbell be programmed to ring multiple chimes within the house? Thanks

Hi Breaktime. We have done all of these versions with Ring. If you have multiple Ring Chimes, multiple devices can ring it. Even if you have Echo devices you can have those ring as well.

So if you don’t have the subscription it won’t record what’s happening just show you live video? Like if you don’t have it and someone walked in front of the camera, it would alert you and you could watch the person. But it won’t record for you to go back and watch again?

How to install ring solar charged doorbell

[@talljohn5350]

The biggest downside to these cameras is the video quality. The features are where it’s at with ring cameras but I can’t wait until they are 4k with backup batteries in all products and a much better Wi-Fi antenna built in for a more reliable robust connection. I’d also like to see edge be functional (for me the video quality becomes useless) and to be able to have local and cloud storage at the same time also have an option to switch to edge local storage if internet goes out.

[@noahm2259]

Is 4k coming up soon? I am about to buy one from Costco but if 4k is soon, I will wait 🎉

[@CitizenBourne]

can i use sim card cellular data to connect ring system on the internet?

[@SecurityDotOrg]

You mean solely? Ring does have cellular backup if your internet goes out. I do not think it can be your primary means of reaching the internet though. They go to great lengths to say just backup. Additionally, you wouldn't be able to set it up just using SIM. Finally, you may want to try to set up a SIM wifi system and then connect Ring through that. I haven't tried that yet, but it's a good idea for a video. Thanks!
