I’ve had a ring at my old house and liked it a lot, which got me thinking that since there’s other “Ring” products (ie cameras, motion sensors, etc) and I’ve tried finding a “bundle” deal with the doorbell, a few cameras, etc. instead of buying them all separately.

Anyone know where, or have experience with, something like this?

Note: It doesn’t have to be Ring branded because I know there are a handful of similar products these days.

TIA

I like the idea of the continuity with Nest because we have a Nest thermostat... is there a "portal" or anything on mobile/PC where you can view the cameras and *also* adjust the temp?

Basically, are they all "integrated"?

I have read the Ring has significant delay regardless of WiFi connection?

Do all the similar products have the same type of delay or is one more live than the others?

Amazon Blink cameras. A 3 pack is less than 1 ring flood light. They are battery powered (Energizer lithium) so you can install each camera anywhere in less than 2 minutes. I've had mine for 8 months now and still haven't had to change any batteries. On the box, it says the batteries last 2 years, so give or take. Worth every penny. They record any motion, allow to control your motion zones, and allow for live feed. No monthly fees or yearly fees for cloud based storage and will download any video to your phone instantly.

$189 on amazon for a 3 pack
$189 for a 3 pack at Best Buy with pickup today
$289 for a 5 pack at Best Buy with same day pickup
$134 for a 2 pack at Lowes with same day pickup

I have a ring pro doorbell, 3 floodlight cams, and two indoor cams. I also have their alarm system with several types of sensors and co/smoke detectors. All work great, cam notifications pop up right away.

$100 a year for cloud storage for unlimited cams and monitored alarm system is nice.
