When I installed my ring doorbell it worked just fine; I got zero false alarms from the motion alerts on my phone. After the 30-Day trial of Amazon’s monthly “video recording” ended I decided I didn’t need those features and did not sign up. That day and every day after the doorbell gave several motion false alarms. Once I started paying the monthly fee, the alerts started working properly again. Buyer Beware!!! This thing only works right IF you pay the monthly fee. Had I realized this upfront I would have chosen another brand.

This is my review for:
Ring Video Doorbell Wired
I tried to keep my review short but there was a lot of information here so I added headers for easier reading.
Background:
When the first Ring doorbell came out, I really wanted one, but it was a bit too expensive for my taste, so I went with a cheap knock-off. I have been using that knock-off since then and I hate it. The image quality wasn’t awful, but it had a lot of bugs and it didn’t play well with “Alexa”. I kept automating my home adding echo’s, lights, switches, cameras, you name it and every time I circled back to the doorbell I would think: “I already have a video doorbell and the Ring doorbell is still pricey; maybe I should buy some other automation toys”. Well, this new Ring came out, and it was less than 100$ thus I said, let’s try it…
Appearance:
Dimensions wise, this one is pretty small (5.1”x2.4”x 1.1”). The button is very noticeably a button; to me this is important as with my old knock off doorbell, people would constantly push the camera lenses thinking that they rang the doorbell.
Differences between this Ring Doorbell and Previous versions:
I did some internet research prior to deciding for it, and I could only find a few things: (1) it supports only 2.4 GHz networks instead of being dual band, (2) it only works as a fully wired setup (3) it has a single faceplate and (4)it is way cheaper than previous models.
To me, it wasn’t a big deal the doorbell not being dual band, I planned on using the 2.4 GHz band anyway as I have been with my knockoff brand doorbell. There are several obstructions along the way (two thick walls and some furniture between the door and my repeater, and my router is in the basement), and the 2.4 GHz network is usually better for that albeit a bit slower.
This doorbell requires to have an existing wired doorbell setup, unlike previous iterations that you could have fully battery powered doorbell. Yet the setup is only needed for power. You will be bypassing the existing doorbell chime, thus, you will either need to purchase the model that include the Ring Chime (+20$), purchase a separate Ring Chime (30-50$) or use a compatible Alexa device as the speaker(s). I am using a few of my echoes and I like the setup a whole bunch.
The Ring Video Doorbell has a single face plate (black) vs 4 different color ones for the Pro. I did search online for other faceplates and I found a pearl white one going for about 15$ but I am sticking with the black one.
The newer model is about 70% cheaper. About 60$ vs the 200$ MSRP for the Pro.
Issues so far:
I haven’t had a lot of issues, but I already had one. I had some connectivity issues right of the bat. The fact that this doorbell bypasses the hardwired chime exacerbates this. No connectivity means no doorbell whether you have power or not. A few resets, I moved my repeater closer and it appear the problem was corrected. However, I point it out because when compared to my old 2.4 GHz knock-off video doorbell, I never had an issue. I am considering this as a one off but I will update my review if this issue persists.
Bottom line
What I liked:
Compatibility with Alexa. When Amazon acquired Ring a while back, I just knew that integration with Echo devices would probably only improve but even knowing that, I was impressed. You can define specific devices you want them to work with. It allows for tons of customization including ringtones.
I currently have two echo dots and an echo spot serving as my alerts and this setup works great. The video playback on the Echo Spot is smooth as silk with minimal Lag. I will be linking it up to my new Echo Show when it gets here, next week. I don’t envision any issues linking it up, but I will update my review if needed.
It features an advanced motion detection system that allows for customizable alert motion zones. It is extremely intuitive to setup. Thumbs up, all the way.
It was very easy to install
It looks elegant yet sleek.
It is cheaper than any previous Ring Model.
What I dislike so far.
It supports only 2.4 GHz networks. This is not a major negative as 2.4 GHz networks usually allow for a better range, especially if there are obstructions along the way. Still, it is worth mentioning.
I have a hardwired doorbell chime that is useless now. If my WIFI fails at any point, my doorbell is dead in the water.
I already had connectivity issues. They might have been a one off so I am not necessarily overreacting to them but I will update my review if needed.
The first two negatives were design choices that allowed lowering the price point and they were something I knew coming in. However, they are still significant enough that I called them out.
Overall, for the price, this is actually a very good device. If you already have a Ring doorbell, this item is not for you. If you don’t, and you are ok with a fully WIFI driven, hard wired power doorbell camera, I strongly recommend it.

I bought this based on Ring’s reputation and I will never do that again. The install and set up went quick and smooth at first. The video quality is really good but the motion detection lags quite a bit. If someone just walks up to your door, they will be at the door before you get the motion alert on your phone. The in the house chime (additional cost) was really annoying. There are certain chime sounds you can set on the app for your phone to make and then there are certain chime sounds you can set for the in the house chime and they are NOT the same. Technically there was one that was the same but I didn’t like that one so if someone rang my doorbell, the chime would make one sound and my phone would make a different sound – ANNOYING!!! Now the best part, the damn thing would go off line almost every single day for NO reason! Sometimes when it went off line I was able to reconnect it, and other times I would have to call in for tech help. I will say the tech help people were always very knowledgeable and helpful but the damn thing should NOT be offline almost every day. OH and the modem, router, and doorbell were literally 2 feet from each other the entire time! After a month of battling with it, I yanked it off the wall. Well, it was too late to return it to Amazon, and Ring wouldn’t do anything since I didn’t buy it from them so I smashed it with a sledge hammer and threw out the pieces! NEVER BUY A RING!!!

I bought this Ring Doorbell 2.5 years ago to monitor the front door of my home. I also own a Ring Floodlight Camera and a Chime Pro. This is my honest review after a couple years of using it.
The Ring Doorbell is VERY reasonably priced. It came with detailed paper instructions and a step-by-step guide on the app that is easy to follow. The camera quality is good for both day and night vision, and it also covers a very wide area. The motion sensor is EXTREMELY accurate and will alert you about general motion and if it detects people (it even detects spiders making webs near it, or nocturnal critters). You can customize the motion detection to monitor and alert you about whatever specific area that you choose in the app. It also alerts you when someone rings your doorbell and you can respond to them directly through the camera via the app if you are not home OR you can set an away message to automatically go off when someone rings it. You can customize different chimes for different activity within the app, or turn alerts on/off depending on your needs.
I have NEVER had any issues with internet connectivity for this Ring Doorbell over the years, which is something I was initially nervous about. It is linked up to my phone, my Ring Chime Pro, and my home Alexa device so I am always aware of any activity around my home.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this Ring Doorbell if you are looking for some added security outside of your home. I am still impressed by it and have not had any issues after 2.5 years of use.
Hopefully you found this helpful!

The device was very easy to installed. Video and picture is good, motion detector is good and the functions, however very disappointed I needed a pay subscription to see the history saved. I have other brand cameras and the history is saved at no charge at all. Update…I hate it. Can’t control the volume on the outside of the doorbell, it makes our internet sooooo slow I had to snooze it so that I can work on my computer. I hate it, hate it. Now looking for other brands.
