Ring - Video Doorbell Pro and Chime Pro Bundle

I purchased the pro because I didn’t want to mess with replacing batteries. Our house was built in the early 90’s & the intercom system was no longer working, which also meant no front doorbell. So I used the resistor from the intercom system along w/the existing wires to install. I had to cut & paint a metal plate for the existing metal box in the mortar from the previous intercom system. I can’t recall if Ring offers a universal plate or not, but i believe they do not. If you do a google search on how to install this product w/an old intercom system you will be told it’s not compatible, which it isn’t (at least to communicate over the system speakers) but you CAN use the resistor & existing wires. It’s really not that difficult. I gave it a 4 star only because of the “subscription service” you must sign up for (at an additional subscription cost) to replay any earlier recorded video/motion at the front door. We have cameras installed which I can play back, so this wasn’t of value to me. Secondly the video they capture is on THEIR servers to do with what they want. I’ve read news articles of Ring using these videos inappropriately, but I’ve also seen where they provided great footage of potential crimes & can be easily shared w/the community. So, this is a user by user option & is a choice. The ring still works as a video doorbell w/o the subscription. The delay in answering or communicating to someone at your front door is negligible & really unnoticeable. I like that you can adjust the motion at the front door to minimize false alarms. The motion grid is very flexible & can be manipulated in so many different ways that it would be impossible not to set it up to eliminate false alarms. Lastly my install had to go on the wall beside our front door, which the ring would be facing to the side of house vs outward to the front or street. The package came with plastic “wedges” of varying colors to match the front plate of Ring. I actually ordered & installed a different wedge from Amazon as it was adjustable gave more flexibility to set the best angle. You can see an image of the install below. Hope this review helps w/any questions.

I rarely leave reviews, but this product is SO amazing that I just have to share my happiness with other people. After having the Skybell for over a year, we decided it was finally time to throw in the towel. We were always having constant issues with the Skybell's motion sensor... you could stand right in front of our doorbell camera, do jumping jacks, and it would record absolutely NOTHING! After many troubleshoots and a lot of frustration, we finally decided to exchange the Skybell for the Ring Doorbell and Chime Pro. Thank god for Best Buy's Geek Squad Protection. It allowed us to return the defective doorbell, and exchange it for this new MAGNIFICENT device. The audio and video on the Ring Pro is so clear and crisp. The motion sensor is amazing! It works, almost too good lol. Which I am not complaining about! You can adjust the sensitivity and select certain "zones" that you'd like to have motion picked up and recorded from. It comes with 4 different colored faceplates, that you can choose from to match the color of your home. It comes with 2 different wedge base plates to accommodate different angles for your front door, which we had to purchase separately when we had the Skybell. It comes with a masonry bit for easy installation into brick. The install and set up is so easy that a caveman can do it! Thank you again for making such an AMAZING product Ring! I will most certainly be adding more devices to our Ring family in the near future!

The install was super easy. This package came with the chime pro, which is great for older doorbell chimes. This works extremely well and the video quality is excellent. Nice features on the app and has been functioning very well. Nice to have some sense of security, especially with all the package thieves out there!!

I got both the ring doorbell 2 and this pro edition with chime . I was originally nervous about WiFi reaching the unit so that is why I got the chime bundle but I am getting great results without needing the chime ! The camera has a fish eye lense that sees down the entire street even though the camera is facing straight . Night quality is great too! I am pleased . Only downfall is needing to subscribe to view recorded video . But I’m content with using the live view and motion settings and have no intention to pay a ridiculous service fee

This doorbell is so great! The ease of installation just blew me away. I am a woman in my thirties with very little electrical wiring experience and was able to remove my old doorbell, install the new one and have it all working in about 30 minutes' time. The app and directions walked me step by step through the process and it works perfectly. The performance of this doorbell is highly dependent on having a good wifi connection, so the Chime Pro really comes in handy to boost signal to avoid choppy video and frustration. The chime makes a pleasant sound when Ring senses movement in my designated motion zones. The four colors of faceplates included are an added bonus so you can color coordinate with your house color. I mounted this on a light fixture mounting block (found at Home Depot for $5) to get a nice flush installation. I really cannot say enough great things about this bundle. Don't wait!

We have all seen the adds but I have to say this product lives up to the Hype in every way. First it is very well packaged and comes with everything you need to complete the installation. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and I had no trouble getting it installed and working. We bought it for a vacation home and now have complete peace of mind we know what is happening. We can use it to confirm a vendor needs access and give them the code to a key box and we even turn it on and use the live view to check the weather and watch it snow. Awesome product that works as advertised! The remote chime was a nice added touch. Lastly we saved a lot with the special Best Buy has on this product. We liked Ring so much we bought their home security system as well!

My first doorbell camera... Installation was pretty straightforward. Plenty of instructions (and a video) made it a snap. All the tools and multiple faceplates are included (exceeded my expectations). Chime Pro (included) is pretty darn cool too. The app has plenty of features allowing customization in ways you'd expect and a few were pleasantly surprising. (like ignoring when your across-the-street neighbors come-and-go from your motion detecting) Love it!

So far so good. Clear video. Great sound. Easy install with the wired feature. I'm glad I don't have to worry about batteries with the Pro. Also easy to attach to Smartthings and Alexa. Glad I waited to get it 50 % off with a free Alexa Show. Only con is when you're reviewing your video footage it takes you back to the very last feed instead of where you left off.
