Ring Video Doorbell Wired: Appįrom the home screen of the Ring app, you can see all of your Ring cameras. When compared to other security camera video storage plans, if you only have one camera, then Ring’s plan is pretty economical, but if you’re thinking about installing more than two cameras (such as a video doorbell and two home security cameras), then Nest is the better deal. It’s a feature that other video doorbells had long before Ring, so I’m glad to see it implemented here. That way, you don’t have to open the app to see who’s at the door. I especially like Rich Notifications, which displays a thumbnail image on your phone’s lock screen when you get a notification. If you subscribe to Ring Protect (which starts at $3/month or $30/year for a single camera), you can also save recordings, and activate a People Only mode, so you’ll only receive notifications if the camera detects a person. Both Arlo and Nest video doorbells have a similar feature. It’s a super-helpful feature, especially in a house like mine, where a large tree obscures anyone coming to the front door until the very last second. That gives you a better chance of seeing someone as they approach your door. Like all of Ring’s wired doorbells, the Ring Video Doorbell Wired will record color Pre-Roll when enabled, this feature continually records six seconds of video, and when a person is detected, it adds this clip to the front of the video. Ring sells wedge kits, which allows you to angle the camera downward or to one side, for $20 each. The Ring Video Doorbell Wired has a 155-degree horizontal field of view, but like most video doorbells, doesn’t show the very front of my stoop, where packages are most likely to be dropped. Nighttime video was just as clear as video from other Ring doorbells I could easily make out the faces of visitors and hear them clearly. On a snowy, overcast day, the camera picked up the bright yellow of my shovel as I was digging out from another snowstorm.
RING DOORBELL 1080P
The 1080p video from the Ring Video Doorbell Wired looked very good.


Ring Video Doorbell Wired: Video and audio quality However, you’ll want to include some extra time if you’ve purchased a Ring Chime or Chime Pro. In another cost-cutting measure, the screwdriver that Ring includes isn’t double-sided you only get a hex-head screwdriver, so you’ll need to use your own Philips screwdriver to access your doorbell chime.Īfter installing the jumper, you then have to connect the doorbell to your door, and then use the included security screw to keep everything in place. (A current deal on Amazon is offering the Ring Video Doorbell Wired and the Ring Chime for $80 (opens in new tab), a savings of $10.)
RING DOORBELL PRO
This also means that the Ring Video Doorbell’s true cost isn’t $59.99 rather, you have to budget an additional $29.99 for the Ring Chime or $49.99 for the Ring Chime Pro - essential if your Wi-Fi can’t quite reach your front door - if you want to hear that familiar ding-dong when someone presses the button.
RING DOORBELL INSTALL
Before purchasing the Ring Video Doorbell, it’s important to note that it does not work with your doorbell chime in fact, if you have a doorbell chime, you have to install a jumper cable in it in order for the Ring Video Doorbell Wired to work.
