Video Doorbell Elite

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.

Elite works with chimes. You just have to enable in setup. I found tech support worthless. Clueless about the Elite.

I have a Ring Elite. Yes it rings my Angelo solenoid chimes. Had to enable a setting at installation. No it is not onvif.

Rings wired doorbell is supposed to work with chimes, even a mechanical chime. They also have a wired Elite that is PoE, that does not appear to work with a chime. They make chimes that plug into an outlet and will ring when the doorbell is activated. None of Ring doorbells are ONVIF, however.

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.

A Ring wired doorbell. The POE doorbell is great.

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.

A Ring doorbell cam came with our house. Somehow I missed how terrible they were (even tho I have been boycotting every other form of Amazon for two years now lol). Then the Super Bowl ad came out and I quickly bought a new doorbell cam that doesn’t add to mass surveillance bc of how fucking dystopian that commercial was. I’ll be disposing of the Ring.
