I have went back & forth on whether or not I really needed to dish out the money for this Ring Doorbell 4, I would look up reviews and do research then I would just be like eh it’s fine I don’t need it that bad especially being on a tighter budget. Well income tax time hit and I seen this one was $60 off the original price & so I went for it & OMG I’m sooooo glad I did! It’s Amazing, I absolutely Love being able to see who is at my front door or even close to my porch I didn’t screw mount mine because I live in Townhouse Apartments and I’m sure that is a no no lol so I got a no screw door mount for it and it’s perfect for apartment living, the camera quality is really nice, it’s very fast at alerting me if someone is on or near my porch or door, it look very sleek and appealing, it came with a Ring Sticker so I got a magnet and stuck the sticker to the magnet and since my door is metal it just sticks magnetically I can remove it when I need so it’s not permanent so that’s an idea for you, but overall if your going back and forth like I was just get it and I promise you won’t be disappointed it’s awesome!! The setup was extremely fast and easy using the Ring app, it connected to myWi-Fi seamlessly with no problems I have spectrum not sure if it matters, the app loads up the camera very fast, the sound quality is great, the lights on the ring are nice and bright when they light up, overall I highly recommend this Ring Doorbell to anyone thinking of getting one, I’m also going to buy a second one for my back door, also the battery seems to last really well I’ve had it a few days it’s only went down by 2% from 100% to 98% but I have also been fidgeting with it a lot moving it around until I got the best spot and obsessively watching the camera lol so I’m sure the batter would still be at 100% if I would just be normal and stop watching it all day! I did charge the battery for about 10 hours when I very first got it just to make sure it was full charge before using it! I will buy a second battery just to always have a charged ready to go battery when the other one needs charged up :) Thanks for ready my review I hope you enjoy your new Ring Doorbell just as much as I do

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Perfect But Better
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023
Verified Purchase
Had used a Brinno peephole camera, that was problematic when new. And stopped working altogether when about 5-years old. The Ring does a better job at detecting motion. But does miss some events. A multi camera setup might do a better job so fewer missed events. I can't address night vision, as my camera is in a 24/7 well-lit area. One odd thing is that my two different model iPhones with the exact same version of the Ring app, list capture different events. And in general, the newer iPhone shows more events. So I wonder if a Ring display device might do a better job. I did think the device installation error messages and Ring phone assistance was a waste of time. Online user comments from other sites, did help me complete the installation.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first Ring device.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021
Verified Purchase
I ordered the Ring with the base Echo unit. I had to download a Ring app, and Alexa app to get them to function. There are lots of little features and nuances. I was unaware of a "sidewalk" feature that "borrows" some of your bandwith for your neighborhood. Not a fan of that feature, but if you disable it, the devices seem to cease functionality. The devices paired fairly easily to one another. I did have to install a new wireless router near my outside wall to get signal to the ring. The internal wireless reception of the doorbell seems poor. The devices captures motion very well during the day. I was getting cats and little animals until I adjusted my zones and sensitivity. The motion detection at night is lacking, its takes a while for it to catch motion and sometimes misses people walking right in front of it. The night vision is actually VERY good, I just wish it was able to capture motion like it does during the day time. Overall setup was somewhat cumbersome to configure. The camera and sound work great, once you get the setup done and tie everything together, I was very pleased with the camera, it has a HUGE area of viewing, I was surprised at how much it did see. The viewing area and quality are excellent. Basically, the hardware is solid and the software is very good. The Ring is able to display my doorbell on my Echo device automatically, BUT it will not automatically show motion detection. This is a feature they hopefully will update in a future software/firmware updates. Overall though, I can recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful
Reviewed in Australia on September 29, 2022
Verified Purchase
Amazing product saves a lot of time and I feel a lot more secure with my packages. The plus points are that when they ring the bell the sound goes off at the bell and also ur phone does a door bell notification sound if you have enabled it in the app so u get the ring no matter where u are home or not. If u don’t want to give anyone else access simply Combine it with the chime and u can make sure anyone hears the bell even if they are in the top floor and finally the battery life is beautiful. It does take about 6 hours to fully charge but after just one charge the battery is still at 75% after 10 days. Don’t need to stress about buying an extra battery.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent product, but could have been easier to set up
Reviewed in Australia on June 17, 2022
Verified Purchase
This doorbell works well, and has good hardware design, but could have been easier to set up in terms of connecting to my wi-fi network, and the recommended upload speed (on the product's internet site) was not strong enough to provide a reliable connection (but changes to my home wi-fi mean I have more than triple the recommended upload speed at the doorbell location now, and it works well). While I got a Chime Pro to assist with the connection, it didn't provide any better connection strength (despite being in a better and somewhat closer location) than my modem/router, although that will vary based on the strength of signal coming from your modem/router.

The phone app is good, the battery life also good (about 2 weeks, with a fair bit of motion detection and recording), the process of replacing the battery straightforward, and the information available via the app and the recordings of the videos via the Protect Plan excellent. The design and physical installation were both good, and the range of faceplates met our needs in terms of blending in with the complex. It's very handy to be able to communicate with someone who arrives at the door when I'm not in, and the customisable motion zones and pre-roll features are noticeably useful (particularly the customisable motion zones, as the doorbell faces a busy street, so being able to cover the letterbox but not the road avoids a lot of car recordings).

Other than the upload speed/connection issues, other things that needed resolving during set-up (in case it helps anyone who bumps into similar):

- For whatever reason, the Chime Pro (2nd edition) doesn’t work with (at least my) ‘combined’ 2.4GHz and 5GHz wi-fi network – I needed to split it into two separate networks for it to hook up. When it was combined, it repeatedly (and incorrectly) gave the error that the password was incorrect (and the password was checked carefully, and was fine, and worked once the networks had been split).

- On a combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz wi-fi network, the Ring 4 video doorbell for some reason decided that it wanted to connect to the 5GHz signal (RSSIs from 72 to 78) rather than the 2.4GHz signal (RSSIs of 55-65, even without the Chime Pro).

Working around this was a bit fiddly (made moreso by some issues on my ISP's end - but that's not a doorbell issue), but once everything was set up, it works very well, and is a great product.

Initially our nbn/internet would not link our football 4 into our network. However, after several attempts it is now linked into our system and works extremely well. I get a notification if someone rings our doorbell and I can see them on my phone. It also allows us to see people going past through the motion sensor. I am about to try and use the microphone to speak to visitors when we are away. This can be done through the doorbell. I just haven’t got around to doing this at this point in time, but I will. Very happy with this product. Gives us added security as we already have a security system installed, with video capturing facilities.

Must have a Ring subscription to get all the perks. I have a subscription. Clear night vision. A bit delayed but does have preroll.
I bought a spare battery so I can charge once the first battery is flat. Easy to hammer up on to external house wall. Great to answer rings when away from home.
