I am often home alone. The ring doorbell lets me see who it is, and talk to them. Also, i have heard good things from those who are using other security through Ring as well.

Our home Ring Alarm is amazing. The app will video record every single time someone is near your door and send a video to your phone. Easily turn on your alarm through the app if you forget or turn it off before you walk in.

While the Ring security devices aren't the problem, the cascading $$$ effect to have to buy this and then that, and then update, then subscribe, it feels more like a device pyramid scam to the senior citizens out there just trying to live safely and protect mail and deliveries by using motion and alert sensors and yes, cameras. What good is buying a camera if you can't review anything if you don't subscribe to a "Plan?" Monitoring fees for services provided for security monitoring by Ring I can understand, but what about for those who do not want outside monitoring? I bought a Wzye outdoor camera before buying the four Ring devices (DBCamera, IDCamera, MBSensor, Light Bridge (because you can't use the MBS without one!!!) and am not on any subscription plan yet it serves the purpose of both camera and review options. In hindsight, I should have went with the all Wyze devices, I'd have spent less and received more for my money. As a retired professional, I can no longer keep up with the escalating price gouging for having to purchase everything piece mail or patchwork style. I had to return the MBSensor because it wasn't clear why I needed a "bridge" to connect when I didn't have any smart devices in my home that would require that device. I figured it out once I got the device and couldn't connect it. As one of many senior citizens on a restricted income, you might want to consider what AARP and Consumer Cellular does... offer a discounted rate and serve millions of us instead of price gouging and serving a smaller proportion of that population.

We self installed our ring in 2016. It was great. It needs to be updated and I will be purchasing again soon. I lobe that you can pay different rates to keep your videos on file.

Ring camera security has been a game-changer for our home. The peace of mind it provides is absolutely priceless. The setup of the system itself is fairly simple, and when needed, their customer service has been very helpful and thorough to ensure everything is functioning properly. It's a five-star security solution that I highly recommend.

The first of its kind. Well to me. I love that Ring works anywhere. I used it while living in Alaska and in California. Prices are affordable. Quality good. I like that it has the neighbor access thing where it notifies you of problems in your neighborhood. Also cameras can easily be access through an app on your phone!

We have 3 Ring cameras, and they’re amazing. The cameras are amazing, and they have great coverage. They’re reasonably priced, and so are their plans. I enjoy being able to go onto the app and see what happened the night before or while I’m not home.

Ring security camera is outstanding! If offers a wonderful service, not only watching my property but showing me when I have deliveries. I can even watch the bunnies playing in my yard! Have had to call with problems which have been resolved quickly with their excellent customer service.

One of my favorite products I’ve ever gotten and really use frequently. The video and sound so useful. I also like the live view. One of the best thing about the Ring so far is that you can store tons of videos and they will not delete them! All other cameras have limited storage or not storage and you have to pay for the camera and service. Ring has been by far the best one!

I like the Ring doorbell camera. Using it I can see and speak to someone at the door prior to opening it. It can also save video of anyone approaching the door. This is great for when I am away from home. It works with Alexa too.

I absolutely love my Ring. I like how it records, sends notifications to my phone, and I can interact with people on the other end. Sometimes the audio isn’t very good and one time the house alarm was blaring for hours but no one called the police. That was a problem!!

Love my Ring doorbell. It's battery operated and actually does a great job staying charged. I have cats that go in and out (as cats do), so my doorbell alerts me quite often. I often do the Live look when I'm at work just to see what's happening. Works great.

Great quality. They continue to improve as time goes on. I like that I can talk to whomever comes to the door without having to be there so they don't know (or I just don't feel like getting up :) ). Camera quality is good (caught some naughty kids at Halloween one year and could identify them because of the high quality camera).

We have been a ring customer for a few years and have never had any issues! We had a doorbell camera and then recently added a camera for the garage and it was so easy to combine them in the app. It’s low cost and little maintenance.

I absolutely love my Ring. I'm hesitant to open my front door to anyone considering the society that we live in now. When someone rings my doorbell I'm able to answer with my phone and the person is not able to tell if I'm home or not. Great product and concept.

I enjoy the peace of mind that Ring provides. It's very comforting knowing that actual live photos are documented whenever anyone approaches my home. I am notified on my phone whenever anyone comes to my door. That way, I always know who has been to my home.

Ring has been a solid home security solution so far. I have not had any issues with the product. It has a good number of configuration features so I can program it to send me notifications when I want them and I can easily adjust the areas that I want to monitor. I would recommend this product to my friends.

The hardware is abysmal. I regret buying it. Best I can say is that monitoring is cheap, and they've called right away on false alarms. I believe they're known for coming in under 30 seconds in auditing. You really can't beat the monthly cost, especially considering the cellular backup. It was cheap up-front, too. My kit is 2nd gen, bought in 2020. I feel like it is all there, just poorly executed. I wish the hardware could be repurposed. I should note here that this is the only monitored or retail security system I have ever owned. However, I have a lot of experience with networking, AV, computers, wireless, and employer security systems. I know this could be better. The most frustrating thing is that because it barely works, we rarely arm it! It continues to monitor smoke and CO alarms, and a laggy alarm is better than none. When I have contacted customer service or tech support, they have been great. -The app and web interface are terrible. Settings are buried in seemingly unrelated categories. -The doorbell still feels like a separate company from the rest of the security hardware. -Doorbell occasionally decides not to charge from the transformer. Factory reset and/or clean contacts. -LAG CITY. If you factory reset, you'll get snappy performance for a while. Then one day, someone will walk in and the bling-bling happens 30 seconds later. Opening the doorbell camera feed lags, then you get HD real-time. Workarounds exist (and work) but it is just a maintenance headache. There is nothing wrong with my LAN or Wi-Fi. My house is not gigantic. -LAG CITY II. Opening the doorbell remote video feed in the smartphone app often takes too long (tested vs. TeamViewer connection with identical phones). -This is a big one. No glass-break sensors (at least not since I last looked). They said to use an Echo device. Which leads me to: -It came with an Echo Show 5, which has the worst microphone in the Echo line. I hate this device, because everyone has to annoyedly repeat everything or shout. -Limited integration with other security device protocols. -Charging ports on the keypads are hard to get at without OEM cables. -Magnetic sensors that must be mounted with the battery section on the door (sliding doors especially) tend to fall off their mounts or at least show tampered. We use sticky-tack to keep them in place. Very attractive. I do hope that later-generation equipment has built on the failures outlined above, but from April 2020 to January 2023 I have become thoroughly soured on the brand. I am also becoming disillusioned about the supposed benefits of adding more corporate devices to our personal spaces, and the widespread access granted to government. This is a bell that can't be un-rung, pun intended.

I like the products, the affordable prices are great, and the ability to connect with nearby neighbors is also excellent. My only concern is if the wifi goes out, you are defenseless. If they would come up with a backup security system that could connect via Cell signal for emergencies. I feel safer if the power went out after someone cut power to rob my house as an extreme example, but it does happen.

Ring has been a wonderful company to work with, there service has been great, reliable, convenient and cost affective for my family and I. Not only has it been great for security reason but has also been a great help at letting us know if we have missed someone while we weren't home that has stopped by.

I felt 100% percent better after having the ring peephole installed. Before if I heard a noise I was concerned. Now I hardly give it a second thought and if I do, I just look at my app. The price of monitoring my ring peephole at this time is an only $3 a month. Unbelievable to me.

Generally speaking, I like the Ring product's quality and functionality. However, I do not like the monthly video storage cost. Some competitors offer limited free storage, which I think is appropriate for this type of product. I purchased the doorbell and a camera. After the free trial, I decided to sell the system and go with a competitor. If you do not mind the monthly charge, the Ring system is definitely a good system. It just isn't for me.

I use a Ring doorbell/security camera to keep watch in my front yard considering I live right next to a middle school and let’s just say… kids don’t always respect other peoples’ property. I live in a shared duplex so my doorbell makes it more convenient to tell if someone is at my door or my neighbors!

Ring cameras are great!!! Easy to install. Great quality picture. Great angles. The only downfall is the monthly subscription fees for cloud recording. Other cameras allow for micro SD cards so you can avoid the monthly fees. Otherwise, highly recommend them!

Easy to hook up myself - warranty is AWESOME and the price is amazing! Cameras are the BEST in clarity and sensitivity (depending on how you set it up). Ive had the entire system for almost 2 years and I couldn't be happier. My only concern is when the alarm goes off an automated person calls rather than a real life person on the phone.

I installed a ring doorbell on my front door for my home. The app that ring provides allows you to see who’s at your door and also speak to them. With my elderly parents at home, it’s imperative that I know what’s going on when i’m not there. Ring allows this and I highly recommend.

I was a little bit concerned with how well our ring doorbell camera would work and if it would really be worth it. I have been more than happy with how it has turned out. The picture quality is great, we can speak through it using our smart phone and are alerted with any movement near our door. It has brought some peace to our family knowing we can see what is going on in front of our house.
