Review: If you do some research as I did, there are many YouTube videos that compare Ring doorbells and The Ring Wired comes out as the best and most economical version. I did NOT have an existing bell, so I had to buy a adapter from Amazon as well, so i could plug bell into mains socket. The mains socket does not need to be near to the bell, mine is about 6 metres away and the adapter cable is so thin, you cant notice it, its not liking having an extension lead running around your house! You also dont need to by or already have an exsiting chime. It connects to your phone, so if you can hear your phone, you can hear the doorbell. It also connects to an Alexa if you really want to hear the Bell ring indoors. You also get PRE ROLL something that's not in the blurb but you get 3 seconds before action starts. VERY useful and only advertised on ring Pro versions. It uses a 'Fisheye' lens so, the field of view is much more than needed, i can see over the roof of house opposite as well as the ground by my front door. Its wide enough to cover neighbour's driveway either side of as well. Video quality is excellent, its 1080p which is HD so its going to be. Motion sensor works perfectly Night vision is also very good. Two way talk works very well, no complaints there either installed in about 10-15 mins (And Im not a DIY person!) just 2 screws in wall. If fact i have no complaints at all, why would anyone spend 200 quid on a doorbell when this does almost as much for 50! After all, its just a doorbell! If anyone told you 10 years ago, one day you would spend 50 quid on a doorbell, you would have laughed at how ridiculous that sounded. And yet here you are......... Just buy, job done

Review: We bought this more for its security camera role than as a doorbell to monitor the front drive where our car is usually parked. Wiring it in to the existing 8V AC doorbell transformer as directed was straightforward and it paired with our 2.4GHz DMZ WiFi access point using WPA2 without problems. Its diagnostic page on the Ring app suggests that both the power & radio signal are a little weaker than optimal but we've actually had no issues as a result. The access point (a Netgear WAC124) is about five metres away but there are a couple of brick walls on the direct line between the two but other devices seem to pick up the signal with good strength so the antenna on the Ring could probably do with a redesign to improve its sensitivity. Basic functionality as a video doorbell that rings on you phone app and optionally one or more Ring Chimes works fine but to record events and access remotely you really need to pay for the subscription. Your audio/video data is stored in Amazon's/Ring's infrastructure which may be of concern especially as there have been cases of Ring data being used by law enforcement without permission in other countries. Ring does now allow you to enable end-to-end encryption to circumvent this but doing so cripples some of the features so still needs a bit of work. (For advanced users, for example, you could allow creation of a keypair, uploading of the public key to the doorbell for encryption and installation of the private key on multiple app instances.) Both the colour daylight & monochrome IR-lit night video is very good and the 2-way audio is adequate for the job. Because the camera can see the whole street I used the motion trigger zone editor in the app to suppress false alarms from passers-by which initially worked well without preventing correct detection of visitors on the driveway. However recently it has sometimes failed to detect someone making a delivery without pressing the doorbell which is a little annoying.
