Just ordered one as recommended by my lawyer, and it should be arriving tomorrow May 9, 2024. We'll see how it goes. Your video was very detailed and easy to understand. The only thing you forgot to mention was the battery pack (comes with 1 battery pack), and it takes awhile to charge, but is supposed to last up to 4 months. I was told most people order an extra battery pack, so I did, because when you change out the battery you will want another one fully charged and ready to go. Also, this item was discontinued in 2021, but has been brought back by RING in 2024.

I am happy with it so much so I have bought another one today for my back door to watch my garage. Simple to set up. mine has been running 5 days with a lot of use and battery is still on 94% a friend has one and says he is getting about 6 weeks before he needs to re charge. I have bought a spare battery as they are only £19.99 so can just swap them over when I need to charge a battery. I give the product 8 out of 10 so far

Love this review! I wish that I would have watched this before I purchased it. It's a great product and it was an easy install however just as mentioned, if there is a screen/barrier door present, the motion sensor will not recognize or alert you of ANY activity until the screen door is opened. You can view/record live video outside your home but it won't catch the "porch pirates", inconsiderate delivery drivers or unwanted guests on camera😔. I'm renting a home so, didn't want to drill any holes and now I see that they have a "no drill" base so, I may try that. Thank you for your review!!

This is what I am worried about. Question: Do I have to keep the Wi-Fi turned on, on my cell phone while I am at work using this ring doorbell?

I bought one when it first came out. It's awesome. I connected it to my Alexa and she announces that someone is either knocking or ringing the bell to all the devices I chose to connect to it. Mine faces the street so I can see everything going on. I bought an extra battery to switch out when the battery is low. I wish it had another way to power it though. I have a window and outlet near the door and I could either plug it in or attach a solar panel to it. But other than that it's something people should look into. Btw I do have a screen door and it's not a big issue because my porch light is always on and the image is always clear.
