This includes the optional Chime device, allowing you to hear your doorbell from other parts of your property. The app will also be used for any other Ring devices you invest in. However, it is also worth spending some time in the app messing with settings to get your perfect doorbell experience. I mainly used the app to access the camera’s feed and to access push notifications when someone was at the door. However, day to day most of these options won’t be needed. In fact, the Ring doorbell can be somewhat overwhelming when you first boot up the app, offering a plethora of settings and preferences. Through the Ring app you can access live feeds, change settings, rewatch old footage, set zones to scan and more. Like most modern devices, when using the Ring doorbell the app will be your best friend. In fact, you’re advised to keep the camera safe by prioritising the location under a porch or some kind of rain protection. While it is water-resistant, Ring hasn’t made any claims around dust or more extreme weather. It isn’t entirely clear just how protected from water and dust the camera is. Obviously, you’re not moving it about much, but I did bump it while carrying something into the house leaving a noticeable mark. It looks sleek and premium, but it is prone to scrapes and marks if you’re not careful with it. The housing that covers most of the doorbell is plastic.
Housing a powerful camera and an absolutely huge battery, the benefits outweigh the slight aesthetic issues. The large design is utilitarian in nature. This is the same design that Ring has been offering for years across generations but, if it isn’t broken why fix it? While brands like Arlo or Google’s Nest offer sleek doorbells, the Ring is a large rectangle that looks slightly dated. It’s large and quite noticeable which, if you’re looking for a security deterrent, isn’t exactly a bad thing. The Ring doorbell is a lot of things, but it isn’t exactly the most aesthetically pleasing smart doorbell out there. You could always attach the device to a wall with sticky strips or some kind of temporary mount, but this won’t stop any potential thieves. If you are in a rental property or somewhere where drilling into the side of the house would be frowned upon, this will pose a challenge. It can be intimidating but there are easy instructions to follow. Ring includes screws, wall plugs, a mount and a plethora of parts to get you sorted. The hard part of the process is getting the doorbell put up. Like all smart products these days, most of the setup process is simply entering mass amounts of data and selecting preferences. A compatible smart lock must be set up in the Ring App to enable this functionality.In setting up the doorbell, the first step was as simple as downloading an app and scanning a QR code.
