I have these 2 doorbells. The fact the battery one, even when its wired, starts recording the person very late is a deal breaker. Especially if the person approaches from the side. It only picks them up when they have pretty much already walked by. Where as the cheaper wired doorbell has some sort of preroll feature. I'm returning the battery one.
Just picked up the wired version on Prime day. Agree the battery version seems better based on your review but couldn’t pass on the sub-$50 price tag. Happy with the wide viewing angle and sound is acceptable for our needs and super easy to install. We use our Alexa Echos for notification. Great job on this video, as well as the others. Keep at it and you’ll increase your subs for sure!
i love my spotlight camera. No infrared white/black you get pure color with a light and an alarm siren! nowadays with porch pirates we need the spotlight color version.
Thank you so much for this video. I thought the comparison was awesome. Great video. Because I live in a low crime area I think I’ll go with the wired version. It will do the trick. Thank you.
I have the battery powered version. Works well when it works... seems that after some weeks it slows down on alerts and then starts missing events completely. The ring customer service is very good. Had to call them several times in the last 3 months. We set up the adjustments repeatedly but it still slowly stops working as advertised,. Eventually they are just sending me a new unit. Hope this one works.
a few months later and 2 replacements. i gave up. Very late alerts, no alerts, having to reset devices every day, even a few times a day to keep it working. I think Ring doesn't work well with older phones, even if they meet the requirements. Frustrating. Just could not get it to work. Got the Eufy doorbell and it works! Same phone and Wifi. Ring seems to work for the majority of people. But it did not work for me.
Thank you for taking the time to create and post guys very informative video! Which generation of each of the two doorbells did you test? Also, did you happen to test how long the wireless battery lasts before needing charged? Thanks! Also, I’m very much of a newbie to this stuff; what is “pre roll”? Thanks again!
the camera picks up the image /motion quicker before it is in view/alerts you sooner also,that is what i got from the video,This is very important when they are there to steal or breakin, the quicker you are alerted the better,.What he did not say ,can this be contected to your phone for alerts,or not, ,guess not or he would have mentioned it.,if i am wrong ,someone will correct me.
Thank you for this video, I am looking to use the wired camera as just that in my rental home in the carribean,. There is no preexisting doorbell, will this still be possible?
The last thing I want to do is remove the camera bezel and the camera and take it inside to recharge. The quality isn't that much different for the majority of applications.. I have the wired version and never had a single issue with it. Both are quite capable of producing very close to same resolution and the 15/fps vs/24fps is insignifcant unless you are watching something zoom by blistering fast crossing the camera. Also with either and say you lose power to your house - neither will capture or work because your wi-fi internet router has no power either.
I have the one that built in battery just bought it 3mons ago. I didn't have no door bell in the first place. Great video!! Do they have a solar charger where that I don't have to take the bracket down with the one that came with the one that I have?
I live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow drilling. Just bought the ring (2020) battery powered doorbell camera. I'm looking for -anti theft -door mount -my door is like an inch + thick so not too thick -my door swings OUT -I also have a door skirt I am having the hardest time finding what I'm looking for
Have you tried getting the doorbell boa adapter device? It makes it so you can use the ring cameras without mounting and it’s in a protective casing so it can’t be stolen.
Im not saying this guy.. this is a real person but .. Why are the bots and fake accounts & comments # soo negative sometime # what's suggested negative programming's ... Purpose ? # whats the sub psyche ?

If the camera (the battery) is turned on the power, is it always turned on?

I am so grateful for all the input; especially, the author’s research. Thank you! I chose and will install the battery version.

Thanks for this review!!! Detailed and brilliant! I needed help picking which version to get thank you!!
Bought the battery version and wired to the existing chime and it's working great.
Thanks for the awesome side by side!
Nice work, helped me make the right purchasing decision. Thanks!

I brought both one for another location. Great review because I thought I couldn't use the battery one even though it has wired capability.
I have the battery powered version of this camera and I am satisfied with its performance.

Maybe you can compare the ring battery version to the Wyze pro doorbell camera
So I can use the plug in wire for the wired camera?
Great video! Thanks!
very helpful video thank you
Does it matter what one u get because they both work the same to me the only difference is one battery one wired
Do you have to have the chime?
Just got the battery version one on Black Friday only payed 50 for it so far I love it
I got 2 white ones to £60 each bargain
Me too. But i haven't got mine in yet. Keep us updated on what you think of its camera, chime, and wired/battery versions
Does the battery ever die In the battery one are after u charge it it’s. Good?
Question: How often does the unit have to be charged & will it notify me?
DId they fix the "Ring once per 30 seconds" bug/bad design? It's a big NONO to me and I returned my Doorbell Pro back 2 years ago.
I don't want to have to charge the doorbell though. how long does it hold a charge for?

I'm confused. My wired version works with the built in house doorbell. Not sure why the website says that.
Thanks
Wired version definitely shows faces somewhat better, but that's about it...
Excellent review. Excellent channel.
I just got the battery one. Do I still have to remove it to charge if I wire it?
Why review the 2020 models, 4 years old (3 years old during the video creation date)
Why is the adaptor plug tripping the entire house power and not working
I have the one that built in battery just bought it 3mons ago. I didn't have no door bell in the first place. Great video!!
Do they have a solar charger where that I don't have to take the bracket down with the one that came with the one that I have?
I’m going to buy the wired. Overall at night -wired is better
The camera on wire is better but audio is better on battery
I have both and cheaper one does work with my regular chime
Good to know
I live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow drilling. Just bought the ring (2020) battery powered doorbell camera. I'm looking for
-anti theft
-door mount
-my door is like an inch + thick so not too thick
-my door swings OUT
-I also have a door skirt
I am having the hardest time finding what I'm looking for
Have you tried getting the doorbell boa adapter device? It makes it so you can use the ring cameras without mounting and it’s in a protective casing so it can’t be stolen.
Which kind one you recommend for an apartment? No drilling or wiring.
Doorbell 3 or 4 + one spare battery
Audio sounds way better on the battery camera
Why you don’t go one by one ?
I only have wiring for one camera at a time.
There $59 at Home Depot bought 2 of them as of my comment mine are both wireless
Lol im trying to buy one! Dont know which one to get
@@summerahmed2600 ring one is okay for me
I have to disagree with you on the wired version, it was way too much brightness!
$100 door bell is a BUDGET doorbell 😂😂😂😂
Y
Im not saying this guy.. this is a real person but .. Why are the bots and fake accounts & comments # soo negative sometime # what's suggested negative programming's ... Purpose ? # whats the sub psyche ?
Neither they are by ring...
What stupid doorbell camera can't use the internal chime. That's stupid
The battery version is far superior then the wired one in every category! 🥹
