This, ring is over priced junk, reolink is a way better option
I had similar, looked at various solutions and ended up spending a Saturday with a rotary hammer and a diamond cutoff. Put a low voltage ring in the brick for a Ring Elite PoE. So all the way thru the brick fascia and into framing behind, like butter. Wiring on the back is concealed by removing trim, drilling about a 1 1/4" hole in lath & plaster, and fishing Smurf tube to the basement.
Ring Elite is the best thing that ever happened to Ring. A new 4K model comes out in December. I already know homeowners who will be upgrading, myself included.
Latency. Which is a result of a PoE interface. If someone is waiting by my door, I want to know immediately, not in 3 or 10 seconds, but right away.
Get a proper outdoor-rated CAT6 (550Mhz) and just run it. 🥹 Ring Elite is the best doorbell to date. I installed over 20 of them, and every single one still works. I wish Ring would offer a trade-in program in December when the new Elite comes out.
I have a Ring and got the one that you wire in so it does not need charging and absolutely love it. It's been such a relief to know it just works and I do not need to do anything tbh
I would have recommend Ring :(
That’s so far! I don’t mind paying for it so I had all my data
I would swear by ring! Got a doorbell and two additional cameras months later cause I liked it so much.
I have no idea if it’s the best or even close, but I have a hard-wired Ring doorbell that does a very clear picture through the app with no subscription.
If you do ring, make sure you get one of the wired versions instead of the battery ones, especially if you live somewhere that has real Winter.. Also, you might need to upgrade the transformer.
