What are the appealing features of the Ring product set for you?
i bought 2 video doorbells and a chime 2-3 weeks ago. Shipping is from Hong Kong.
Few comments 1) The setup process is painful (near impossible at least using my 6P.) 2) I’ve experienced some delays in notifications so much so the person has left once I answered 3) Motion sensing is hit or miss and requires constant tweaking (but so are my professional surveillance cameras)
Note the $40 (AUD) per year per device video subscription model. Well worth it IMO. I’ve confirmed Ring have cloud servers are located in Australia.
Do I recommend. Yes. 100%
Does the doorbell have a relay output you could use to trigger a door/gate opening?
No, but if the supports ring
Not that I’m aware of. It has “ring+” partners that have direct integration. Apparently you can unlock the door directly from the ring app if you have supported smart lock.
It also supports ifttt.
Thanks guys
I bought a Ring video doorbell a month or so ago from ebay (shipped from the US). very impressed with the featureset!
