Hacking is the biggest issue. Multifamily industry dissuades residents from using them.

It works better with the vaccine microchip.

What I learned about the ring system on thanksgiving is that they have a microphone that records.

Crazy arse mother in law went back and listened to my conversation.

My leftard neighbor has a Ring and one of those stupid “science is real” signs in his yard that I want to remove. My mischief has been thwarted.

When it gets cold, lizards are attracted to it. You get an alert that someone is ringing your bell.

Mine seems fine. You might need a wifi boost or something.

I have absolutely no problems. I have 1 door bell and 4 cameras to cover all entry points to our house. Your WiFi must be weak.

We have the blink cameras at work and I hate them.

It changes to green eventually. It just takes a really long time to charge the battery.

So what is another option instead of Ring?

We moved a couple of months ago, and I brought my ring with me. I set it up at the new house, but it would work for a few minutes, then not for a while. Took me a bit to figure out that I needed a larger transformer.
Once i got the new transformer, it took about 24 hours for it to charge, and has been fine ever since.

Can you cast a fishing line with a treble hook and a half ounce weight accurately from outside the camera's view?

I use a battery because I live in an older house that doesn’t have wiring for a doorbell. Anyway, I’ve had no problems in the 11 months I’ve had the Ring video doorbell 2. It normally takes a whole afternoon/evening to get back to 100%, and I’ll have to charge it about once a month and a half.

I have one but no real issues. I do get motion notifications if the wind blows which can be a bit annoying at times

We have two (one front door and one in backyard). No issues at all. We even caught the neighbood kids who egged our house a few weeks ago on it (they got caught on several ring cameras that night doing that to other houses so not the brightest kids...)

We have a few ring cameras, the ones with lights last a little over a month before they need recharging, the doorbell goes about 2 months before charging. The only problem we ever have is when my wife and I both try to answer a ring it either blocks both or online connects to one phone, other than that it works fine. Video is good, always gets people coming, I think they deter scammers and people that go after easy theft items.

I have a ring on my front door. I never knew my front porch was the neighborhood cat(s) hook up spot until I got the ring.

I think cats hit up every front back and side porch in the whole neighborhood every night.
