Like-New Ring Video Doorbell 4 – improved 4-second color video previews plus easy installation, and enhanced wifi – 2021 release

I had a different Ring product and it worked very well hardwired for about two years. And then it just automatically stopped working. I purchased this one because my sister recommended that it was a wireless product. It was easy to install occasionally I charge the battery but not often. The picture quality is really good. I never lose connection to my Wi-Fi so I like it I would definitely recommend.

The media could not be loaded. We switched from blink to ring and were skeptical at first but it’s so perfect! It was very easy to install (my husband did have to get a mason drill bit to install it into the brick), but the app walks you through the whole process. The camera quality is amazing, even at night! We bought the refurbished one to save on money and you would have thought it was brand new! It needs to be charged every three weeks. It also has the ability to change the motion zones and you can get notifications when your packages are delivered! It’s so much more than expected! We just wish we could use it with our doorbell system instead of buying a separate one.

So glad we finally got one of these for our front door. It’s nice to know when packages get delivered so we can keep an eye on them if we’re not home in time.

Works good, fairly easy to install. Battery does need to be charged every few months.

About a year ago, I purchased a Blink doorbell. It worked OK but it would take 20 or more seconds to access the camera with the phone app. This was a detriment if I needed to communicate with someone on the front porch in a reasonable amount of time. Some folks just up and left because it took me so long to answer on the app. After all this, I decided to pay a little more and invest in a Ring Doorbell 4. I am so glad I did. It was extremely easy to install and there is plenty of hardware included for many installation scenarios. It was easy to set up and, oh my goodness, I can now access the camera with the app in within just a few seconds. The resolution and picture quality is pretty decent as well. Not the best on the market but very good for the price. If you are torn between getting a Blink or a Ring, do yourself a favor and go with the Ring. Keep in mind that each of the Ring doorbell models has different capabilities. Some will not work with a 5Ghz router. This one works with either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz routers. I have three Ring devices now and am very pleased with all of them. Just in case you are wondering, the Blink did find a home at the back door and is working OK there as a camera and family doorbell. To be fair to Blink, however, there may be better models than the one I purchased so do your research and ask a lot of questions. All I know is that all of my Ring devices work as they should.

May 2024 - ADDITIONAL MESSAGE. It got worse. I had it set to only record from 7 am to 9 pm, to save battery life. I tried setting it on every display. As time has gone on, it just stopped sending me any timely notifications. Groceries were delivered and it was over 5 min after delivery before I received notification. My ice cream was melted. It usually missed people who stop outside my door. I don't know why I can see my neighbor's food and alerts but don'r get them for MINE.Add in how ridiculously annoying it is to charge and the fact that I lost the proprietary tool and can't actually take it apart so I can get the battery. Seriously, it takes waaaaay to long to charge. Not that I can charge it anymore bc I cant get into it. Ehich frankly, it was working less and less. No wonder it was refurbished. It is useless. Even the doorbell when rung takes a couple minutes before I ger the notification that someone is at my door.It is kind of scary knowing yhat people can come to my door and pick the lock and come inside. This was supposed yo help with that baseless fear, but since it misses most folks who come to my dooe, it doesn't help, let alone do what it is supposed to.Feb 1, 2024 reviewThis is useless. I had to set it so far that I watch my neighbors go in and out all day, but if I get notice of someone at my door, they have arrived, left a package, and left several minutes before I am notified.Battery life is good... it's been 2 weeks and battery is 57%, but again what's the use of it notes my neighbors getting pizza delivery but not me? And it does see by me for. I just don't get notifications. Extra funny bc I see neighbors in and out, but I don't see MY area. I thought it was me, I verified I am set to see the necessary area :(Original early, Jan 2024 ReviewI bought this bc I am tired of packages being stolen. I bought it refurbished on Dec 20. Only they didn't reset it, and it apparently takes 15 days to get it moved into your name. Since then I had several packages stolen bc I didn't know people had sent packages, and they were stolen - all handmade gifts, all irreplaceable.Hpnestly, since they can't be bothered resetting returned equipment, I don't trust them. At all. It's rather shifty to let others have access to someone's old account.

I had the 1st generation, and then when I purchase generation number 4, oh my God it's so much better. The color you can see at night versus the first one.It's so clear

Easy to install great video quality sinus quality is good night vision is better than I expected. Great value
