    Hi dorian - I've just bought the 2nd gen ring with chime. I've been eyeing up a video doorbell for a while and seeming that Argos had a special offer (50% off + only pay 9.99 if you get the chime) it seemed silly not to get one! I hope mine lasts slightly longer than the first gen!

      Yeah, I think they sorted out the battery issues now in later generations, my sis has the later gen and her battery has been fine for two years now. 🤞

    I ended up replacing mine with the ring 2 when it decided to quit drawing power from the hardwired doorbell wiring! At that time I didnt contact ring about it because I was younger and more afraid to talk with people at that time when I had to replace it, note the hardwire power was 18v 30VA I have now replaced it was the pro because I of the pre roll and motion warning! The ring pro reported 17v when first Instaled but it does say 16v that’s just from resistance from the bell cable!

    the battery ones are pretty crappy if u live anywhere cold. over here in canada in the winter time even when u wired them the battery would die after only a day or two. i complained to there c/s and one of there mangers hooked me up with the pro version at the time was the only version that didn't have a battery. not sure about that version but the pro version came with a back plate that has pegs that fit into the wholes of the older larger models and cover up the old holes.

    • @HooverLux
      @HooverLux  2 года назад

      It’s been fine for the past two years, but u guess the battery just degraded so that it won’t hold charge in cold weather. Will see how it goes for the next year as it’s a bit warmer now, but so far absolutely no issues with the wired.

      @@HooverLux ya the wired ones are great when they have no battery haven't had no issue since switching. imo the battery ones should be redesigned so that if u hardwired it that it runs off that power from the wiring and the battery is just there as a back up if the power goes down. not the way it is now that it keeps using the battery either way because that is just stupid design unless u live some place that is warm all the time and even then if u live some place like say texas were it gets crazy hot heat can affect it to.

    My 1st Gen Doorbell only lasted 7 months. I received it in October of 2021 as winter was approaching, tried to keep it recharged and above 50% battery, but it somehow deteriorated to the point where the battery wouldn't charge at all. That's one of the downfalls of lithium polymer batteries, they are very susceptible to temperature changes, unlike lithium ion hard-shelled batteries that are in their removable version 2, 3, and 4 series doorbells. The 1st gen doorbell won't even power on when directly plugged in via usb port. It's still under warranty, but I posted a 1 star review on this garbage version of RING doorbell and a week later I got an unsolicited call from RING customer support saying they saw my review on Amazon and would like to rectify my very detailed and unsatisfied review about the 1st Gen doorbell. I usually don't post reviews on products, but when I do, it's usually a bad review. I work in the IT field, a RING doorbell without a removable battery that lasted 7 months is unacceptable. Had I known the battery wasn't removable, I wouldn't have purchased it to begin with, but alas here I am with a paper weight. We'll see what the 1 year RING warranty covers. lol

      I know exactly how you feel, gutting! It’s not as though we had a particularly cold winter this year. So far the new ring doorbell has been absolutely amazing and I’m glad I went for the non battery version. My parents one which only relies on battery power has been fantastic and has lasted 6 months between charges! Hope it’s lasts another year.
