I live in an huge apartment complex and people ring my doorbell starting at 4:30 am, and they ring it at other early morning hours. Someone else has been signing for my packages, others (though probably the same person, neighbor) has been taken my packages on a regular basis before I can even get to my door. I finally got sick of this and got the Ring doorbell Pro. The instructions weren’t real clear that came with it. This video helped me a great deal. Thank you!
Wow that is horrible to hear, hopefully the Ring doorbell helps act as a deterrent. If it doesn't perhaps installing a motion-based floodlight camera is another good option on top of having the doorbell pro. Glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching : )
Thanks for the nice video! Just wanted to ask about motion notifications and doorbell ringing on your phone....are they quick enough to arrive? I just bought it, I still have to assemble it. Thank you
I prefer the Reolink Doorbell because it has 24/7 continuous recording and you can pull it up a large monitor or TV if you download the Reolink software.
@@DemCrumbliesYeah, this is the one i wanted from the first time, just wanted to hear another opinion. I live in Bucharest, Romania, and for me is a little difficult for a subscription plan so reolink was my first option, the problem is i live in a block building with 10 floors, and i dont know if this can connect with my old doorbel, is a simple one from my fusses panel, above the door, but i guess i will call and electrician to mount this for me, i dont want to plugin this. Thank you very much.
@@MARYOLIONHEART Yes, sorry, I am not good at advice about electrical use, so it's a good idea like you said to get an electrician in case they have to adapt older wiring for the doorbell. Good luck, I hope you can get a discount when you buy your Reolink Doorbell.
@@DemCrumbliesThank you, i apreciate. Unfortunaly, i will buy from reolink official site, i dont trust in third party links, i live in Romania and here we dont buy from links or companies we dont trust, this is very expensive for me and i dont want to lose my money.
It's really difficult to say because it will depend on how busy the area is in front of the doorbell, how sensitive you set it, low, medium, high, if you draw a detection area, if you set it frequent detections, etc. I didn't notice that Ring mentioned estimated battery life either on their site. Best thing would be to buy a 2nd battery from Ring, so that you can quickly swap out batteries so you have no downtime.
This was my first Ring doorbell, so I can't say how the Ring 4 compares, but if you don't really have an issue with the 4, might as well keep using it until it breaks.
no this one is very poor, you need to take it off completely to charge it as it wont let you take off and unplug battery like the proper battery one, this is a waste of money and the set up is awkward, nothing on any video shows you dark mode - as dark mode on ring devices is non existant avoid stick with what you have and dont be rings next scam victim
There's lot of great options out there, but check out this comparison video I did here: th-cam.com/video/7-L1ebB3tVg/w-d-xo.html If you like any of the other cameras, you can click to see the full review on them in that comparison video if you check the video description.
Hi @victorsal421, if you plan on hardwiring it so it can keep the battery topped up, you will likely not have to charge it every month depending on the recording settings and motion detection sensitivity that you choose. If you do not hard wire it, it's possible you may have to charge it monthly depending on the settings you choose. A better option if you choose to use it without hardwiring would be to buy an additional battery, then you can quickly swap batteries to have minimal downtime.
@DemCrumblies i try the vertical full screen but it doesn't work ...if i tap those arrows it give me the bigger view but just half my screen ...if i tap again it give me the older version of ring doorbell view
That's strange, can you try to clear the Ring app cache to see if it helps? If it doesn't, you may have to contact Ring support to see what they suggest. Also, I'm assuming you have the latest firmware updates applied via the app?
@@stephanerioux9258 Good luck, let me know how it goes. Also, do you have the exact model I have? I know there are other models that look a bit similar.
@DemCrumblies i got the battery ring doorbell pro ...thats what it said on the box ...maybe your's is different... my model number is 5F79E9 if it's any help
I also wired it, with a working 16V power supply, first tested with the tester....but I don't see the doorbell recharging and it has already dropped to 85 without showing signs of charging.....is this normal? I don't know what to do, strange it doesn't recharge....
Does your green battery icon look like mine with a lightning bolt in the middle of it like shown in this part of the video? th-cam.com/video/Fwh5RUVSP_Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aGdgsxsfAXoDhTXA&t=561 If you don't see the lighting icon, then it means it isn't actively charging. If it is charging but the battery life is decreasing, you may have to adjust some app settings, such as setting the motion frequency to a lower setting so it doesn't detect as frequently. You can also turn off pre-roll or bird's eye view to see if that helps.
@@DemCrumblies The battery icon is there, it's green, but not with the lightning bolt. Like it wasn't wired. Instead it is wired and I tested the power supply before installing it. I don't know why, there is a green battery icon and it's already down to 82% but it won't charge
Hmm that's strange, what does the signal strength show in the ring app? Strong signal? Also this might sound strange, but what happens if you switch the connection to 2.4ghz on the ring doorbell? 2.4 has more range over 5, but it sounds like range shouldn't be an issue if the router is just behind the wall. You can also try to clear the ring app cache to see if that does anything. Lmk how it goes.
@@DemCrumblies so i try 2.4 is worst and signal is super perfect… i guess battery go in standby and to wake up takes long compared to to wired.. cache nothing coz is new. I order doorbell pro 2 wired better i think i will let you know how it goes compare to battery 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@naizondj Do you have it set for frequent detections? Since I had mine hard wired, I had pretty much maxed all the settings, but yea let me know how it goes with the wired version.
@@DemCrumblies is also hard wired but still working as battery doorbell this is the fuc*ked up thing😂 all maxed out feuture.. indeed. But for sure i will let you know! Your doorbell is instant bro! Incredible😭😭😭
The color night vision won’t disable although the app has it disabled. I’m getting ambient light from the neighbor across from me. It shows his property in full color but I can’t see anyone on my property

I just received mine this morning with a backup battery I have them plugged into an outlet in my wall and the battery is just hanging to the floor and not in the back of the device and for 6 hours they have been orange and green I don't understand how to get the battery charged from the back of the device and if I even need to? Versus the wall in the house
Hey @Laura-Dawn, if I remember correctly, it can take between 5 to 10 hours to fully charge: ring.com/au/en/support/articles/t1z26/Charging-the-Battery-for-Ring-Video-Doorbells After it fully charges and you insert it into the doorbell, it will only stay topped up if you hardwired the doorbell during installation. If you didn't hardwire, then you'd have to swap batteries each time one gets low.

So what happened next? Did you catch them? Don't leave us hanging. Where's the update?!?!?!??!?!?😂😂😂
you apt complex let you drill into the door??
The best review I have seen so far on this new ring doorbell. Great job! You have a new subscriber.
Wow, that is high praise. Thanks for watching and for the subscribe Dave 🙂
No problem fam!
Informative, comprehensive, easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for watching : )
I really appreciate your detailed video, thank you!
Thank you for watching 🙂
Thanks for the nice video! Just wanted to ask about motion notifications and doorbell ringing on your phone....are they quick enough to arrive? I just bought it, I still have to assemble it. Thank you
Yep, it's pretty quick as long as your WiFi network is fast and the WiFi connection is strong.
So, between this one and Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi, wich one you recomend? I wish to not pay for monthly subcription plan.
I prefer the Reolink Doorbell because it has 24/7 continuous recording and you can pull it up a large monitor or TV if you download the Reolink software.

@@DemCrumbliescan’t you add a motion sensor to trigger it to record constantly?
This video was very helpful. Thank you
Thanks for watching : ) Glad it helped!
how long will the battery last if I do no have it connected to a charger?
It's really difficult to say because it will depend on how busy the area is in front of the doorbell, how sensitive you set it, low, medium, high, if you draw a detection area, if you set it frequent detections, etc. I didn't notice that Ring mentioned estimated battery life either on their site.

@@DemCrumblies I was about to ask the same question. Thank you @demcrumblies for answering.
@@screamingiraffe Thanks for watching : ) But yea, best bet is to buy a 2nd battery to have as a spare to have minimal downtime.
@@hisgraceissufficient7that is quite unrealistic even in the most minimal settings
Do you need the Ring protect plan to get doorbell alerts on your phone when someone rings the bell?
Nope, you will still have that functionality even without the plan.
Can I use different brands of security cameras like Ring, Eufy and Blink at the same time under the same home wifi? Thanks!
Yep absolutely! I do that personally 😉
Can the Ring door bell used for a motor home and from my hotspot from my phone. I just want to use it at night while I am in my camper
I don't believe it's intended to be used with a phone's mobile hotspot, but you'd have to ask Ring support to be 100% certain.
Great review thxs 😊
Thanks for watching : )
Do you think it's worth changing the ring doorbell 4 for this one?
This was my first Ring doorbell, so I can't say how the Ring 4 compares, but if you don't really have an issue with the 4, might as well keep using it until it breaks.
no this one is very poor, you need to take it off completely to charge it as it wont let you take off and unplug battery like the proper battery one, this is a waste of money and the set up is awkward, nothing on any video shows you dark mode - as dark mode on ring devices is non existant

When you open the Ring app, do you see the icon at the top right showing that it is being charged?
@@DemCrumblies No I only see the green battery icon which decreases over the days but nothing charging

The ring doorbell camera Isn't 150° it's more like 180°
According to the Ring specs page on Amazon, it shows 150° horizontal, 150° vertical
Why do people talk so fast when giving instructions?
Hey @MandyFrench377, if you click on the Gear/Cog icon, you can set the video playback speed to 0.75 or 0.5 speed to slow it down that way.
Clean your ears?😂😂
Slow down the playback speed....
This Video is good, but ......
