I bought one of these last year as a Black Friday Alexa deal for $5 less and am happy with it.
It’s good for letting me know when mail and packages have been delivered,. I also don’t have to put on pants and run to the door when it rings.
I was able to adjust the alert area so the motions sensor doesn’t trigger for street traffic and my neighbor’s driveway but still get my driveway and half the front yard.
I bought a second battery so I can just swap in a charger one. It can take hours to charge a battery, and it lasts a couple of months.
Keep in mind that these require a monthly subscription on order to record ANYTHING. There’s better choices out there from Arlo that record for 7 days without a fee.
Arlo’s latest video doorbell is awful! No need for storage since the thing drops wifi connection daily.
Ring subscription is $30 per year, which provides access to 60 days of recordings. I choose reliability.
Okay, so you buy the Ring doorbell to prevent package thieves. But this makes me think of a joke I heard from a comedian (I think it was Chris Rock). What happens when you put camera’s in the ghetto? They steal them.
What keeps the thief from stealing the camera?
-
The installation mount is pretty solid and the cover is secured using a special screw (so, don’t lose the little screwdriver that comes with the doorbell).
-
The Ring warranty covers replacement for theft, subject to certain provisions. Unfortunately, one of these is that purchases from “third-party sellers […] and other online marketplaces [Woot?]” are not covered.
Warranty? I don’t see any mention of any warranty on these used models.
Hi there. We list the warranty at the bottom of the features. This is
