Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 (Wired)

Wired Ring Video Doorbell Pro-Fast delivery and easy to install and connection to my existing doorbell chime. I didn't have to buy extra parts. My doorbell is mounted on the side wall next to my door and I was concerned that the camera wouldn't capture a large enough area to show someone standing in front of the door. I am pleasantly surprised that the field of view is very large and editable. I can see who's in front of the door and even my sidewalk and a small portion of the street. The camera captures clear, well-lighted video, even at night on my unlighted porch. The ring app works best with a smart phone, only so-so with an Echo Show. Echo Dot does a good job with doorbell and motion announcements. A paid subscription is necessary after the free 30 day ... MoreWired Ring Video Doorbell Pro-Fast delivery and easy to install and connection to my existing doorbell chime.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 makes everyday life easier, especially now that we do most of our shopping over the Internet and we get multiple packages delivered each week. We had the original Ring doorbell and were excited to try out the newest version. It notifies me when my children arrive home from school, when packages arrive, and it helps to make our neighborhood safer through their social media network. My favorite feature is the intercom. We use it to talk through the camera, so in case our friends or family get home before us, we can quickly let them know where we're at and how long it will take for us to get there. It's also very handy to get a notification on our phones when it detects motion in front of the door, especially for things like package ... MoreThe Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 makes everyday life easier, especially now that we do most of our shopping over the Internet and we get multiple packages delivered each week. We had the original Ring doorbell and were excited to try out the newest version.

We use it to talk through the camera, so in case our friends or family get home before us, we can quickly let them know where we're at and how long it will take for us to get there. It's also very handy to get a notification on our phones when it detects motion in front of the door, especially for things like package deliveries. We found that the original Ring doorbell motion detection was too sensitive and would go off when cars drove by. However, the motion detection on the Ring Pro 2 seems to be much more selective. I've not seen any false positives yet. We noticed the app's response time is much quicker than our original Ring. Its live feed comes up much more quickly. It's great to use Alexa to get an instantaneous live feed on our Echo Spot. There is no battery option for the Ring Pro 2, so it needs to be wired in for power. This was no problem for us since we swapped out our old dumb doorbell for the original Ring, so we already had power running to the mounting location. It's nice that the Ring 2 Pro has a slimmer housing compared to the original. The other biggest difference seems to be in the size of the video frame. It is more square than the original. This is great as it lets you capture both the face of the person at the door, and also lets you see if there are any packages in front of the door. The video quality is also better than the original. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Ring Pro 2. It's a nice upgrade for our existing Ring and we're happy that we can leave the motion detection feature on all the time now.

We are "latecomers" to this technology, but finally got one. We had our electrician install for us to assure it was done correctly since we live a much older home. This is an excellent device. We are so happy with the quality. The app is easy (and fun!) to use. We are senior citizens and had no problem figuring everything out with the app. This device does what it should and then some! Very clear videos, notifications/detections are immediate and flawless. Very pleased with this purchase and, so far, with everything about the product. The only thing we are adding in the near future is a Ring Chime Pro so can also hear the doorbell ring inside the home. We do have an Echo Show 5 (also a GREAT device!), but we prefer to get the Ring Chime Pro.
