One of the best testing methodologies for smart products I've come across. No installation and monitoring deviations between the two tested products. That's how it's supposed to be done. Thank you. I'm primarily looking at the Ring Pro 2, but considering others, and your review provided just what I needed to make final decision (Pro 2) now that I know what to expect. Much appreciated!

I have some very positive comments about Ring. I have been shopping for security cameras recently. My home was badly damaged by hurricane Laura last August. We aren't able to live at our home while it is being completely rebuilt, mostly on the inside. We hope to move back into our home in about two more months. Someone stole my Ring video doorbell 2 in the garage and video doorbell 3 on the front door. I found out first from Ring when they notified me that someone tried to activate my front doorbell and they had blocked them from doing so. So long story short. Ring is going to replace both of my doorbells for free. Now, what other company would do that? I am very grateful. I am through shopping around, my next purchases will be Ring devices.

I had nothing but problems with Ring Pro2. Hard wired and revolving light extremely dim so you cannot see during the daytime. Then connection was poor and believe me it's not my wifi... I have super wifi... They said it was not getting enough voltage. So electrician came and although the transformer seemed fine, I got a new Transformer. 19.2 volts at door (only needs 16v)... The Ring Pro2 constantly dropped out... Just awful experience, so I got Ring 4 and it's works beautifully. Would not recommend Ring Pro 2. Too many issues!

Hi, i recently found your channel and I really like your reviews. I have a question, I recently bought a Ring Pro 2 but the back side of it is really warm or hot at times and I’m wondering if this is a device defect or a transformer issue that may be affecting the Ring doorbell as a result. I had the Ring Doorbell 2 and never had this issue. From what I’ve seen on the app settings on device health for some reason the transformer voltage fluctuates from 16v to 15v (when I finished installing at first it showed the voltage was 60v but I think it must have been a fluke). What are your thoughts and what would you recommend? Thank you (my door/doorbell is in a shaded area and my shaded wall isnt hot despite the Arkansas summer weather, it’s a brick wall btw)

I have some questions. My old hard-wire doorbell is in a poor location for a camera. The opposite wall, which is a better location, would be extremely difficult to hard-wire and/or run power to. If I went with a battery operated doorbell, but yet kept my hard-wire traditional doorbell, would the new camera doorbell work if people only pressed the old doorbell? Would I get notifications and video clips if no one ever pressed the camera doorbell? What problems, if any, would I have with that set-up? I understand that if someone pressed the camera doorbell only my chime would not go off...and I'm ok with that.

I had the Ring Doorbell 2 installed with my ADT Pulse system. It's pretty much been garbage the entire time. I've got awesome high-speed wifi, but can only successfully connect to the Ring Doorbell 2 about a third of the time, and notifications have been known to come MINUTES after the event. I like the idea of the thing, I just want it to work properly. It looks like the Ring Doorbell Pro 2 is a significant step up from what I have, but I still see people in the comments section commenting on poor connectivity and performance, which would kind of make the thing useless. What is your opinion/experience with regard to connectivity and reliability of performance?

Im just saying maybe there is something going on but I can. its ring 3 I think the 4 is a downgrade to be honest, at least from everything I have seen of it and my experience with mine. its not perfect but I also have other systems in place. The visual of the ring deters on its own, I think most folks use poor camera placement, I put mine up at almost neck level so folks see it right away and it detects way faster. also it gives them the feeling they are watched right away which they are, except to those that know they should be there.
