Ring - Battery Doorbell

The wired one doesn’t have a battery and won’t work with your home doorbell. You you need a power adapter or make sure you have the appropriate voltage running to your doorbell wires. Source: I’ve had both and current have the wired one and two chime pro’s. You also have to make sure the polarity is correct for the wired one or it won’t work at all. You may also need the included resistor for it to work

Out of the 5 that I have installed, none have worked with anyone’s door bell and they put it in their literature that it doesn’t work with a certain type. I’m glad it works with yours. I like the chimes bc I can customize the sounds to a ring, motion,etc

The wired pro requires constant power, so if your doorbell wiring doesn’t support that, you will have to get the non-wired version and take it off to charge it or get the hard wire kit and you can run a normal wall charger for it.

You just have to keep someone from unplugging it from the wall socket 😂

Yeah I’m pissed that I’m gonna need to replace my doorbell and 3 cameras because of their lack of respect for privacy and giving access to our homes to fascists

I had the Ring doorbell cam 2020 version for a long time, luckily it picked up a Uhaul hitting my girlfriends car and ripping the entire front end off. They did not stop and kept on going but luckily my Ring picked it up and Iwas able to call the cops. Recently decided that I no longer wanted to pay a monthly fee and purchased a Eufy E340 doorbell cam. After 3 days I returned it. The app is not as user friendly, loads videos much slower as it has to encrypt every single video you open. I also noticed it missed a lot of motion, like the range isn't nearly as good as my Ring doorbell cam. It missed even more motion at night. I ended up buying the Ring Doorbell Pro after returning the Eufy. I maxed out all the settings on my Eufy and still it just was not as good as my Ring. Im ok with paying 120$ a year for the fluent app experience Ring offers. The slider where you can just endlessly scroll through video after video makes it extremely nice. If the Eufy sensed motion and I clicked the notification to open it, it would take forever to pull up the motion that is currently happening. My Ring takes like 2 seconds to open and I'm able to see pretty quickly what is happening. Now that I have the Pro version too, I am able to just swap batteries instead of removing and charging the entire doorbell. A knockoff replacement battery only cost 15$ on Amazon. I would have to say I'm pleased with my upgrade and probably wouldn't buy another Eufy product again after that experience.

yes i have one and i find it great, if you already have alexa devices in the house the ring doorbell works seamlessly with them, so when someone rings the doorbell, the alexa devices will notify you, saves getting an indoor bell chime. i have the battery one a few years and charge maybe 3 times a year. any decent doorbell camera is worth the small investment to be honest, doesnt have to be ring.

I had a problem where the battery Ring would randomly disconnect from wifi. I live in a tiny apartment with a router near the ring. All the wifi tests showed enough strength when standing next to the ring with the door closed. I called Ring customer service and they sent me a code to order a Chime Pro for free. The rep said it had to be the Pro version not the regular Chime. I haven’t had a problem since. Maybe try calling customer service to see if they can help you out.

I have a battery doorbell, and I only have to charge it once a month if that.

Mine is stuck onto bricks using command Velcro strips on the standard mount. It’s fallen off once in 2 years and I put a new strip on it. Held really well previously on wooden boards. Sure it’d be easy to steal, but good for renting.

In Costco they have a ongoing deal of 120$ for battery doorbell + tilt cam and outdoor cam plus, lowered from 190$ and each of the cams being a 30 day free trial subscription that if you don’t need to activate them all at once, you can leave a couple days in between of each of them so you can use to your advantage the 30 day free trial [Costco deal](https://imgur.com/a/MSmbTTf)

The wiring will charge the expensive ring doorbells and it will use the old ringer/bell inside. The cheap ring doorbell works of batteries only and you need to buy a new chime/rining speaker for the house.

How is your Nest doorbell camera in the cold weather? I'm stuck between getting the Nest/Google wireless doorbell and or the Ring.  We've had more cold days this winter and I mean brutal cold. My concern is one not working for a week or longer because it's so frigid outside. I did have a Ring doorbell before and the clarity as well as audio was amazing! I'm just really stuck between the Nest and another Ring wireless doorbell camera. Hoping you can maybe convince me on one or the other. Thanks  Nest doorbell camera is slimmer and therfore less noticeable to potential thief's from afar. Ring doorbell is chunkier, more noticeable but offers great video & audio quality.
