Ring - Video Doorbell Wired

Have one had it for a few years just the basic wired one and we find it brilliant. It’s €40 a year subscription tho which is why we recently bought a eufy one haven’t set it up yet

I recently installed the basic hardwire (wall plug transformer) Ring doorbell camera ($49.00) and haven’t subscribed to any service from them. It’s perfect for my needs. Notifications through my iphone,ipad, echo shows and a wall mounted echo hub.

It’s tough that you don’t have wiring for a doorbell, because no battery-powered option is going to match a wired one for reliability. I’ve been using a Ring wired doorbell along with a few wired Ring outdoor cameras, and they’ve been rock-solid when it comes to alerts and notifications. I’m not a fan of paying a subscription, but in Ring’s case I keep it because the reliability makes it worth it. I tried the Eufy doorbell in the past and the notifications were hit or miss. Until something else can match Ring’s consistency, I think they’ll stay at the top of the doorbell game.

I don't know what kind of router you have, but if you can create a virtual Lan for IoT devices, you should. Then, make sure that the vlan only works on 2.4ghz only, which is what the doorbell requires. Unfortunately, the battery version is not something I would have gotten. I have the wired version and had to make the wifi change to get it to work properly.

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.

I also have a ring wired camera since 2017. In this age of tech dying within a few years, that’s very decent. I’ve seen lots of reviews/comments saying it can be slow to react but they don’t mention whether it’s wired or wireless. Have had zero issues in almost 8 years.

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.

Its the standard ring doorbell camera. the one that costs $99 on amazon. Its not the plus or pro version

my old ring single lense camera + alexa had package detection. Im sure you can do the same with reolink

Mine only went off when it detected a package sitting on my porch

Hardwired ring survived two winters. I pay for the alarm so there’s a monthly cost for me.
