Thank you for being an actual human. I was looking for reviews, but most of the videos are crappy artificial voice monstrosities. I seen 3 of them that even used the exact same footage. RUclips just isn't the same anymore.
Hello…a few questions: 1. Smartphone app: can my wife and I each have the app on our phone..I have Apple…she has a Samsung android phone? 2. Will I not have a doorbell chime if I install one of these…thinking about base model? 3. Do all the models have motion detection?
EXCELLENT VIDEO Question: is this Waterproof? I would like to put this on my Travel Trailer, but it would be out in the weather. Thank you so much for sharing this great video
It's weather resistant. All doorbells are in the elements but as far as rain, snow, etc being directly on it you may have some issues. I know there are things you can buy on amazon that put a hood on it.
I have had this doorbell for a couple years and it often just loses cinnection and it’s a oain to get back online. It’s literally 5’ from router. I have their stick up cam in garage another 20’ away and it’s always working when doorbell stops. I’ve traveled and it goes out and can’t get it up again until return home. Save your money and buy Wyze.
Hi I'm trying to choose between the 4 and the plus, do you think the preroll is negated by the advance motion detection, 5 ghz was a good selling point to me but then I'm thinking do I really want my cameras being on my gaming WiFi taking up bandwidth. So it comes down to preroll and if its better to have rather than package detection.
Mine only records when someone is literally at my door. So it misses then at the beginning of my driveway we’re my cars are so how can I change this. I’ve tried everything
What does connect to any iPhone does it have to be a certain like 11 above or 12 above plus iOS phone or does connect to it like I got a 7+ would connect to that?
If getting rid of 5ghz for me would be great. Because I can't separate the SSID for the 2.4g vs 5.0g from our Google Nest Mesh. With the 3+ Ring the 5.0ghz disconnecting and reconnecting at least once a day. I use an IFTTT to alert me to this. So going back to only a 2.4ghz should be better for me. One solution would be a 2.4ghz Only extender with a separate ID for the Ring. But that gets another possible fault point in the way.
Terrible product. Doesn't pick up everything. Especially at night. We had a break-in and had to rely on neighbours' footage, which was about 10 metres away as compared to our ring security camera, which was directly above and facing the incident. Their footage was not a ring product and was much clearer. When it does eventually does pick up motion, the picture is very blurry, until it focuses on it. It takes a long time for the picture to actually focus which is very frustrating, especially when someone walks past a camera to break in to your backyard as the picture only focuses after the person leaves the shot. Battery isn't great and find myself continually charging it. Definitely don't recommend this product. Absolute rip off that you are charged a subscription fee for such an inferior product. Would get more bang for your buck using dummy cameras.
Hi DIY Reid, I am a UK viewer of your video which was very helpful, and I have subscribed. I nearly purchased this, but like you, I am not a fan of fish eye views, or subscriptions. What video doorbell would you recommend please? Many thanks
It got blown a little out of proportion. While I do agree they said nothing leaves your home network when they knew it did for rich notifications they have now amended that and fixed it.
When installing a RING Video Doorbell Plus to an existing system with 16V , once the battery is initially charged and installed do you have to remove it to charge again or will it stay charged with the existing power it's connected to?
Here is what they don't say. 1. You will be paying an annual subscription fee to have access to your recorded videos. It's not expensive... but it's not free. 2. The doorbells go off on anything unless you are constantly fiddling with it... meaning lawn care guys, amazon delivery, pizza delivery etc. 3. You WILL need to hook it up to the doorbell for the true experience they are selling and if you're monitoring this from out of town... get prepared to deal with a bunch of false bullshit constantly going off. 4. It is a constant drain on your WIFI. You lose that... and it's down. So basically if your internet provider goes down... so does your system. 5. You are tasked with resetting the device when an update occurs or you LOSE access to your 'security system.' 6. It can be hacked from an outside source meaning the O/S is poor. MY REVIEW? Go buy a stand alone camera and a gun. It's trash.
I mean a stand alone camera is the same things you listed unless you spend for it to record to an NVR. I’m that case get a video doorbell that can do that.
@@shaungreen5109 Door bell with battery is not realistic product line - you are right power outage is no use for a Door Bell with battery ,,no Internet no connection no recording LoL!!
This one by far for battery. I use the Ring Pro and have had it for 7 years. I recommend it of the Ring Wired which is way cheaper and it works great too.
This would’ve been an amazing video If you had actually helped us detach the battery from the unit. The most important part and you just completely glanced over it. Ugggggg
Waste of money! This ring doorbell fails to do one this that it supposed to do which is to RING!!! If someone at the door press the button you only get a notification, it doesn't ring!!!. That can be difficult to notice especially if you are in a call. You only get a very small ding like any other notification. Because of this reason in my opinion it's useless. With other doorbells much cheaper you get a basically a call which doesn't stop until you answer, even if you are in a call.
Stay away from this. Biggest scam ever. I changed my mobile number and couldn't log in anymore. I called customer service and they said they can't do anything.

It's perfect for package collection and delivery though. It was needed Imo

Thanks for taking the time to produce this useful review. great work!
Thank you for the kind words.
Great review! Does it have pre-recording/ buffer recording?
When should the wedge be used to install the Ring Battery Plus?
If you need to angle the doorbell.
Great video man I’m convinced on buying it keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words.
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Question: is this Waterproof?
I would like to put this on my Travel Trailer, but it would be out in the weather.

I was wondering about that too... in another video they had to BUY an EXTENDER so the WIFI would work... that is just more money!!! HUM!
Thank you for the excellent review. I am curious as to how long the battery lasts before it needs to be charges. Thanks.
The wedge is 15degrees not 45. I need 3 of them to get the angle correct to my walkup, because the old door bell is 90degrees to my front door.

The only thing i wish for this is that it had ability to put a memory card in it so i dont have to depend on internet for saved video
It costs $179 dollars plus the monitor, the battery, right? I am in Mexico. I thought I would still get a discount from prime day but no
Very good review. Any estimate on how long the battery life is with the settings set conservatively? And if the solar panel is easy to set up? Thanks!
Hard to say without knowing how much traffic your door gets.
What are alternatives to Ring that don’t charge monthly fees?
Eufy or Reolink
@@DIYReid thank you.
That sounds good.Thank you for your introduction
Thanks for watching.
Can you connect the ring solar panel to it?
Mine only records when someone is literally at my door. So it misses then at the beginning of my driveway we’re my cars are so how can I change this. I’ve tried everything
Have you set Motion Sensitivity to Max and all Smart Alerts on ?
@@user-yc4cz7mt7c it is up to the max
@@user-yc4cz7mt7c but there is stairs leading down to my door do you think I maybe need to move my camera up higher

A video showing what you get if you don't subscribe would be very useful.
You get motion alerts and can live view. You won’t get recorded video.
If you already have alexas around the house, do you need a chime unit, or will all the alexas ring like a chime?
It will ring Alexa
Does it come with a chime

I like Reolink or Eufy
@@DIYReid Thank you. I have read that Eufy has some security issues.
It got blown a little out of proportion. While I do agree they said nothing leaves your home network when they knew it did for rich notifications they have now amended that and fixed it.
Many thanks for your quick and re-assuring reply. I still don't know which one to buy. No reviewers seem to agree on the best choice.
Everyone has their own opinion. Buy what’s best for you.

What happens when your power goes down? Shoot!
@@shaungreen5109 Door bell with battery is not realistic product line - you are right power outage is no use for a Door Bell with battery ,,no Internet no connection no recording LoL!!
@@shaungreen5109buy a battery back up(comes with surge protection too) for your router/wifi
Tell us how you really feel. Don't hold back now ! 😂
I bought basic plan ...no vedio recording....something is wrong
Do you recommend the plus vs pro
Pro -- I cuts down on false notifications way more with its radar and has a bit taller resolution to see packages on the porch.
@@DIYReid thank you great video
How do you pair with Alexa?
Ring Skill App in Alexa.
Exelente cámara y video
Thank you for the kind words.
Why micro USB in 2023?
Probably have a lot of stock in them still.
Which BATTERY Ring doorbell do you personally like the best? Which video doorbell do you own and use HONESTLY?
This one by far for battery. I use the Ring Pro and have had it for 7 years. I recommend it of the Ring Wired which is way cheaper and it works great too.
Bought a Ring Door Bell and has never worked and trying to get assistance from Ring was impossible. Ring is junk.
I’ve had a ring Pro for 7 years. Had one issue and they sent me the post to fix it for free.
This would’ve been an amazing video If you had actually helped us detach the battery from the unit. The most important part and you just completely glanced over it. Ugggggg
I'm not sure why I would need to cover that in a review video. The instruction manual should explain how to do it if you are needing help.
Waste of money! This ring doorbell fails to do one this that it supposed to do which is to RING!!! If someone at the door press the button you only get a notification, it doesn't ring!!!. That can be difficult to notice especially if you are in a call. You only get a very small ding like any other notification. Because of this reason in my opinion it's useless. With other doorbells much cheaper you get a basically a call which doesn't stop until you answer, even if you are in a call.
It doesn’t fail because it doesn’t have that feature.
You dont have too subscribe
Then you don’t get recordings.
Stay away from this. Biggest scam ever. I changed my mobile number and couldn't log in anymore. I called customer service and they said they can't do anything.
Why on earth should you pay a subscription for a bloody doorbell... Unbelievable
Ring requires it.
They make you pay for recording on your phone it's such a scam. Stay away from this.
For sure. One of my pet peeves with Ring.
I think it should have onboard storage as backup or give you the option if u don’t want a subscription
But then they wouldn’t make lots of money.
@whitedevil1270 - Big deal, it’s $40 a year. My Netflix costs more.
Ring offers pretty great doorbells with a boatload of features. 3$ a month isn’t bad compared to others, and it’s great service
My 2008 phone has better quality camera 🤣😂😂
John wick. Is that you?
