Ring Video Doorbell - Complete Beginners Guide

[@barbs1956]

Thank you, I was struggling for about a week to get my ring doorbell connected.

[@mrtroxful]

Just wanted to point out that the ring doorbell comes with 2 pouches of screws (A & B). The B pouch, that you did not show, has three shorter screws that MUST be used to attach the device to the mounting bracket. If you use the longer wood screws from the A pouch it could damage your battery etc.

[@slowlybutshelly]

I have a second generation. It only has one punch

[@veeparrish491]

I only received one pouch

[@elizabethwilson1903]

They did just incase the monthly subscription price by 43% so do consider how expensive it is going to get and consider alternatives that are free once installed.

[@astromanicdave]

What’s free once installed ?

[@StitchingMae]

Hey! The two screws above where you read about the voltage is where you can wire the doorbell in... it will also cause your home doorbells to ring too

[@donmckinney4091]

Sorry but that's NOT true. Your home doorbell won't ring I asked the question to ring and they said that's a negative.

[@ChrisR2020]

One quick, and important announcement for all new Ring doorbell systems. NEVER, EVER, under any circumstances, inform someone over your Ring doorbell, that you are not home. There are theives who will pretend to be there for something else, get you to confirm you aren't there for them, and then they circle around to the back door or a window and break in. When you tell someone you aren't home, you are basically telling them your home is undefended right now.

[@kaseyrolow]

A smart theif would just come through the back anyway if there isn’t a camera there as well. Locks and cameras only keep out and detour law abiding ppl. I agree with your comment by the way I’m just saying…there’s a lot of different types of criminals. Some smart and some not so smart. I actually came here to see if there’s a way to mount it on the back side of my apartment close to the street. No ones coming through the front. If someone comes in that I do t want it’ll definitely be the opposite side. Most ppl get ring cameras for comfort and peace of mind but they dont actually detour real criminals. I don’t know how many times I see on Facebook or something else a blurry screenshot of Simone stealing stuff at 430am. When I get and install mine it will be on the back side so when it goes off I can actually stop whatever creep or criminal is out there. I don’t need to catch the mailman or neighbor walking by. I’m worried about the meth heads out back (I live in a riff part of town) lol. Again I do agree that no one should ever admit to being gone from home. Just know that if someone really wants something that would t stop them anyway so make sure you have other parameters in place just in case. Stay safe.

[@ChrisR2020]

@@kaseyrolow I don't you caught what I meant there. In this scenario, the theif is not concerned with being seen on the camera, they are concerned about there possibly being someone inside the home. Just because there is no car in the driveway does not mean nobodg is inside the house. Sure, they can enter through the back to avoid the camera, but if someone is still home and potentially armed, it could still go very bad for them very fast. They can avoid the camera by just wearing a mask, that's been normalized since the pandemic, so it likely won't evem raise suspicion. So now they still don't actually get identified from the camera, they don't get got by a resident still inside, and they got a good 20 minutes at a minimum to do what they want inside before there is really much risk of getting anyone on the scene.

[@kaseyrolow]

@@ChrisR2020 I know what you meant. I’m glad you brought up the mask point bc I was going to say that as well.. I guess what I mean is if a theif or creep really wants in then they will try regardless. The camera doesn’t do much in that case except give you a heads up and sometimes ppl aren’t always coming through the front. Also depending on the criminal (the super creeps) they might actually prefer you to be home. The camera is a good idea and again I agree don’t tell someone your whereabouts if it’s sketchy. Still good advice just not foolproof. The camera can detour some crazy ppl but not all. Still a good idea to have one though.

[@ChrisR2020]

@@kaseyrolow I get that, but my point was always don't make it even easier for them by telling them you're not actively inside the house to potentially defend it. If they are considering trying to break in, and they aren't sure whether the home is empty or not, then thinking it might be occupied might actually sway them towards passing it up in favor of trying a different house. Like, instead of telling them you're not there, letting them know the home is empty, tell them to leave it and you'll be out to get it in a few minutes, thus convincing them you are theee, and just busy at the moment. That way, now they think there ks a potential for resistance that they don't want tp deal with.

[@kaseyrolow]

@@ChrisR2020 for sure. And if it’s that sketchy don’t tell them anything. Notify the authorities. It’s good to take precautions I’m just saying sometimes they don’t always work. It’s smart to try to detour bad stuff if you can.

[@1964jubilee]

Wish you had shown how to conserve battery when the camera is disabled from live view and how to get to live view in this mode when motion is detected. Good video though.

[@mediamanor7774]

Thank you for this very thorough and helpful video Justin. Just to let you know that, at 13:06 in your video people can still see your address! Also, when you talk about motion sensitivity you said to increase it if you get a lot of people walking by and decrease it if you don't get many. In fact, it's the other way round. Worth noting too that you can only go back and preview recorded footage if you have paid for a Ring Protect subscription. I don't have one, but if I'm out and a motion is detected at my front door, I can look at the live feed in my Ring app and screenshot it so I have a record of who was at the door and when.

[@ZOELY89416]

This version IS the wired version as well. That's what the two screws in the back are for.

[@nothankswhatnothing8570]

Aren't those for hard wiring Ring to the door bell

[@CJK-bt4ll]

I just bought a replacement for my first Ring doorbell. Is the setup the same? Just 2 step verify and scan?

[@nivoonairam8950]

So it has a rechargeable battery? How long does a charge last? Also can you talk to someone if they are detected in motion even if they don't press the ring button?

[@mrbikerbob77]

Very helpful for a newbie! Appreciate the thorough review!

[@ronniemullis8717]

Apparently Ring products are not very android phone friendly, which is what I have. I was on the phone for two hours with a Ring tech.

[@ronniemullis8717]

@@Helixur Yes finally, my head was boiling but the Tech was very patient with me and I thanked her for that. These and other things could be so much easier to connect.

[@SandySharp-bv7mj]

Glad you had success. No so with me. Called to ask why my doorbell rang but no one at the door. I tried the internet but found no answer. New Battery was installed 2 weeks prior, so assumed it wasnt the battery. But i did go out to check the ring function and it was FINE!! For safety reasons, I decided to call the support desk to ask why the doorbell would activate with no one there. Never got an answer. Person immediately said let's reset the unit. After nearly 45 minutes of do this, do that , do this again instructions the unit just went dead. Agent said , well you've had it for four years so we've trouble shooter everything but unless we get a "white" moving ring there's nothing we can do. I am 😠 furious. The ring has been working perfectly except for the spooky "no one" there doorbell ring!! I have 2 batteries that are always ready should one need changing and had just changed the battery. I said why did the unit fail after you instructed me to keep pushing the reset button. Could the reset be faulty? All she would repeatedly say was " you're not getting the white circle ring so there's nothing left to do. The unit is 4 years old!! I'm 80 years old and live alone and had no problem until following Rings instructions. Hoping I'll be sleeping safely tonight😢. Terrible service and compassion from Ring!!!

[@azstrong3755]

Was hoping you would cover how to wire the unit. I was counting on some input on sharing any pitfalls I may need to look for when programming and anything else on getting it started when hooked up to the wires outside of the unit having to be charged. Also begs the question, why would people want to charge a doorbell versus hardwire, its not headphones or a remote control toy, its a doorbell and fixture outside of the home, LOL! Thank you just the same.

[@gtvrossa]

Hi mate, nice video! This may seem like a stupid question but I cant find the answer anywhere. And that's without a subscription is there an option with the rIng camera to just listen to audio? In other words if someone is walking past my house talking, will my camera begin to pick up that audio and record it or play it live for me on my app? Or can I just listen in on the convo at will or record it? And will I be able to listen to it via a notification? Or do I need a subscription to get stuff like that working on my app? I'm useless at this stuff and would appreciate any help. Thank you.

[@valerieunderhill6188]

Not sure I would have ever discovered the orange button under the back. One would think they would included a little detailed info sheet. Instead, people struggle with trying to figure it out. Yes mine came with two packets A and B. A is 4 long screws with mollies. B is 3 tiny screws.

So your home chime from old doorbell will not ding-dong any more or it will? I want the doorbell to still alert me when home and not go to my phone which I do not carry around while home, would like to still here a "ding-dong" chime in the house. Will it not do that?

When wifi is out it goes out, how can you control it while you’re out of the wifi range? Does it work on cellular data? Please help

[@starman617]

The Ring doorbell has to be connected to a local network using wifi. It in turn connects to the Ring "cloud" over the internet. It is because of the Ring cloud that you can use your smartphone's cellular data connection to view the camera and change its settings from anywhere on the planet. If the local network wifi goes out, all camera access and functionality is lost until the local wifi is connected again.
