I love my Ring doorbell. I had several instances where I was waiting for a work related delivery and was able to see it get delivered. Also, I enjoy keeping an eye on my property.

Benny you have hardwired one?

You can hardwire it or charge it like a battery. Each one has both options built it. I use the battery option and charge it once every other month.

 

[cany]

I think I want one

I can't believe that these companies just keep doing it. The tech is great, in fact my cameras ID'd someone breaking into cars. But they are begging for Gov't regulation when they could still easily avoid it. It's like they're asking for it.

With that said it's a great product that I'd rather not live without.

I’m going to get their floodlight camera soon as well.

I'm going to wait, but not too long. The technology is rapidly changing. In a year or so there I think I'll be happy with a system (doorbells, cameras ect.) enough where I'll give up my current home alarm system.

I was thinking about upgrading current system but for now I think the RING would be cheaper for me

$150 for what?

 

[wader]

is there that much crime up there these days that you guys need something like that? Or is this just some cool toy that you feel ya gotta have?
I don't recall ever feeling like I need something like that when I lived up there.

Heck.

Down here 90% of the time my doors aren't even locked.

You should use them for rabid raccoon watch if it works could become the town hero

These gadgets are like everything else that makes our lives simpler. Kinda like the internet.
