Reviews around quality (4.31 of 5)

  • Very poor quality, by the time the image loads the burglars should have my home emptied.
  • The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the very poor audio quality, and there Is a slight time delay.
  • It was incredibly easy to install, looks good, and has excellent video quality, both during the day and at night
  • Inconsistent sometimes it works most of the time it doesn't sound quality poor at best
  • Easy to install, great video quality and easy to use app interface.

Reviews around feature (4.23 of 5)

  • The video is great, and the features are easy to navigate
  • The motion detection is also a great feature for security purposes
  • Great high definition camera and love the saved video feature.
  • Another irritating feature is that when I do log in, it oges to the Neighbors Team showing videos of suspects in my County rather than going to my device.
  • Most recently I was pretty alarmed to find out that it lacks a critical security feature: notification when the camera stops checking in via the internet

Reviews around install (4.02 of 5)

  • The issue with my device, as I and many many others have come to find out is that the Ring Doorbell pro uses a small battery that acts much like a capacitor to help supply enough power to trigger the mechanical chime of your door bell as well as initialize the live video
  • Easy install and great addition to our other ring cameras.
  • The install was not too difficult, but had to add a Wi-Fi extender to clean up the video and audio some
  • Easy install if you are handy and read the instructions.
  • I was a little skeptical as to how easy this would be to install

Reviews around camera (3.95 of 5)

  • The video quality is worse than my cheap 720P wireless security cameras
  • I have used cheap security cameras for years, but I didn't know what I was missing not having a Ring.
  • The Ring Doorbell Pro was easy to install'; the camera is excellent and the device work extremely well.

Reviews around thing (3.83 of 5)

  • Like the title says, I love this thing, its just a little slow in
  • Because it picks up every motion...which is a good thing
  • Good thing I found out before the return period was over
  • The good thing is that I could also get alerts from one at their house to help keep an eye on things as they are elderly
  • (the lady was very good - the only positive thing I have to say about it)

Reviews around wire (1.71 of 5)

  • We purchased the Ring Pro "hard wired" version and it took me a little over an hour to completely install and set up.
  • No one mentions that if the Ring is not hard wired but is wifi there is a delay in the
  • Ring customer support tries to blame my house, my wiring, my chime, my transformer when they know that they have a firmware or hardware problem.

Reviews around alarm (1.71 of 5)

  • My iPhone notifies me when there is motion at or near my porch, as well as when someone rings the bell
  • It still gives false alarms, even with motion set to minimum, and a restrictive zone.
  • The person-sensing works much better than the Ring's motion sensing (which was full of useless false alarms)
  • I was able to purchase the Ring doorbell camera (through ADT), as well as the Ring Chime and Chime Pro plug in
  • too sensitive to motion of tree shadows caused by blowing wind and insects-lots of false alarms...
