RingPeephole Camera (Door View Cam) | 34–55mm door thickness (Recommended version) | Wireless Doorbell Security Camera with 1080p HD video, Wifi | 30-day free trial of Ring Home

I am so glad that I bought this Ring View Door Cam, the picture is so clear and depending on background noise, the sound is excellent, the motion detection is awesome, my garden gate is 12ft approx. from my front door where my Ring Door View Cam is, if I set the motion detection two foot back from the gate, it will still detect movement outside of my garden, knock detection is adequate, but doesn't always work.A schedule can be put in place using the app, if there are certain times that you don't want to be notified of movement, the video quality can also be set to HDR, which does use more battery power, but I've not used it yet and I find the picture quality excellent, there is a motion frequency section in settings and you have 3 options, 1. Frequent - captures and notifies you about every movement (shortest battery life) 2. Standard - captures and notifies you about movement less often (standard battery life) 3. Light - captures and notifies you even less often (maximum battery life), I have mine set on standard, I've had it a little over a week and my battery is sitting at 87%, that battery useage includes playing around with it when I first got it, the battery, out of the box takes exactly 6 hours to get to a full charge.My door has raised panels on it, so is different thicknesses in different places, I neglected to measure the place where my peephole actually was, which is thinner than the requirements for the Ring Door View Cam, I've managed to make temporary adjustments for now, but I've been in contact with Ring on Facebook and made a couple of suggestions, they are really good, they're very responsive, they will always answer within a few hours and they said that they wil pass on my suggestions of either a shorter securing nut or a spacer panel for the back, on to their management team.I had a bit of a problem with the app in as much as I couldn't scan the installation code om the rear unit during setup, but you don't need it, you just put in your address and postcode and do it that way, I mentioned the problem with the app to Ring and they thanked me and said they would pass it on to the developers, it is very easy to set up.The app itself is very intuitive, it's easy to understand and to use, there are many settings to go through to enable you to to set it to your own requirements, be careful with the ribbon on the end of the cam when you put it through the peephole, as it's quite fragile, I didn't think that I'd need the spare ribbon that comes with the bell, but unfortunately, I did, fitting the spare one was fairly easy though, but again, be careful when handling it, I couldn't see spare ribbons in the Ring Shop on their website, so I asked them about it and they said that if I ever needed another one, just to let them know and they would send me one.I didn't purchase an extra Ring Door Chime as I didn't feel that I needed it, the ringer is in the outside unit, but it has a good volume to it, the app will also let you know by ringing when the doorbell is pressed and sounding a tone when there is motion outside your door, the sounds both for the doorbell and the notifications on the app, are customisable.So in summing up my review, I feel that the Ring Door View Cam is an excellent product, definitely worth the money. and in my own opinion, Ring Customer Service is second to none, I hope that this review helps people to come to a decision when purchasing their first or next door cam and if you're hesitatiing because of the price of £179, all I can say is, in todays world, what price security?

Long battery life. 2 months is possible with a great balanced profile of motion detection and alerting. More if you're frugal. Get a spare battery so you can swap-over when the in-use one is low.It's such a simple, perfect design where you just remove your peephole and slot it in. Viable for those of us who live in flats with strict modfication rules. And, you can just revert back the original keyhole if you move.Haven't been able to find a replacement by another manufacturer. My RSSI is 60 (when battery is lower I've noticed), but can reach mid- or better low 50s generally. But reaction time in capturing movement and rendering 1080 is pretty impressive. Reaction time between real person in front of it and you on your phone app is a bit delayed by a few seconds. Sometimes clarity in speech could be better. Ensure, you have dual broadband as others have said.I hope Ring never confine this design to the books but instead, comes-out with a next-gen with 4k and ability to choose 2.4/5Ghz! Allow for local, removable SD card in case of cloud/network failure is what i'd say. For £2.50 a month, probably the most cost-effective solution for many peoples' door structure circumstances for now.

First and foremost, I'm delighted that Ring has reintroduced this product. It's a welcome return, considering the significant demand in the market, particularly for apartments/flats where traditional smart doorbells may not be suitable. This device performs really well, boasting a commendable battery life and straightforward setup process (comes complete with tools). I love how I can still use the peephole functionality.I've utilized the Ring app and found it to be highly responsive, seamlessly transitioning from other tasks to provide a view of who's at the door.However, one drawback worth noting is its lack of compatibility with Apple HomeKit, which may be a concern for users invested in that ecosystem.The convenience of directing delivery drivers to leave packages at my door, especially when paired with Ring's smart intercom, enhances the whole experience of this device. Yet, there's room for improvement in its actual doorbell visibility, as visitors unfamiliar with Ring products may struggle to locate the doorbell, as it blends in a little. Maybe including a sticker indicating its location could alleviate this issue, That said I appreciate the feel of the button's rubbery texture and shines a blue circular light when pressed.Furthermore, the doorbell's loudness and excellent image quality are noteworthy positives. While the audio performance could be enhanced, overall, I'm very satisfied with this product.
