I am happy with the Ring Door bell. The only concern I have is that each motion area should have a separate adjustment for distance and width. I was only able to adjust the 3 areas together. In my situation the side areas are fine but the center area needed to be shortened. When I made the adjustment for the distance in the center it adjusted each side motion locations..
Really liking my doorbell. One thing I would like is to see the app allow anyone to pick snooze times. When I share connection to my doorbell i want that person to be able to snooze notification from 10pm to 7am but it only allows that on the main account persons app. Otherwise it has been great!
I got this for Christmas and loved the features then found out my free service of recording was over and I needed to signup for a monthly fee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I haven’t had a doorbell for years and now it’s great seeing who’s at the door without having to answer the door!! I didn’t install the doorbell and for me the camera and ring alert is enough for my living situation. I highly recommend this product.
We purchased 3 Rings and a side camera and absolutely love the coverage and the ability to see, talk and record all interactions. The clarity of the cameras are amazing!
