    The wired Ring doorbells (as well as wired Nest Hello doorbells) are great products. HOWEVER, they don't tell you upfront that these wired doorbells all have an internal non-user-serviceable battery. IF you will be using the doorbell with a mechanical chime, just be aware that at some point, the battery inside will fail.
    The internal battery on these units are used to provide temporary voltage to the doorbell unit when a mechanical chime is used. When someone presses the doorbell button, power is temporarily routed away from the doorbell to the chime inside the house. The battery keeps the doorbell powered for the 1-2 seconds while this happens. Over time, this small battery will be unable to deal with the voltage drop and your doorbell will lose power and reboot itself. If you don't rely on a mechanical chime or if you use the Ring wireless chime, than it won't be an issue. If you do use a mechanical chime, depending on your environment (which includes usage rate, weather, temperature, etc.), the doorbell will stop function properly at some point in time. For most users, it seems to be somewhere between 1-3 years.

    I can definitely say the 3d motion works as intended, as I changed the ring 2 pro doorbell to well be just a doorbell-cam only and only motion jingle if someone is actually walking up the path and is a person (I enabled the 3d motion set the angle and range to 6m so people walking past the front of the house on pavement (7m) don't set it off and adjusted the motion zone to only cover the path and the whole entrance only so motion detection is not been set off by next door neighbour and the 3d motion ignores anything past the entrance
    I noticed at the end of your video you mentioned it not very useful , so if you set it to say 6m anything beyond 6m is completely ignored if you say live 7m from kerb (as I do) with foot traffic it will reduce activations to zero (just from my ring Pro 2 cam alone it works definitely as intended) as you have objects blocking your main road 3d motion probably isn't as useful for you (but in most other user cases it be road facing and removes all incorrect motion recordings/jingles) ,, but useful for figuring out what rogue activations motion is setting off a motion recording because it'll tell you where it was with that dot map (as it shows the dot for people and motion movements ) as without it you have to just look at the screen for movement without it or just give up and drop the sensitivity down a notch
    The only one problem I have with the motion zones you can add, as what are you supposed to do with extra zones as you can't configure what the other zones do (like only detect and record motion as I want the second zone to record motion but not notified you can't do that)
    it's what has made me modify my doorbell cam to be completely not annoying now (3d zone range + path zone only) as I permanently turned off notifications until I did that
    and look at now getting the indoor cams to point outside front and back for general motion recording but no notifications (and to keep eye on the dog so probably a 3rd one) I am assuming the stick up cams are still at an disadvantage (even when powered) vs indoor one

  • @N0rion

    Excellent review, although I disagree with your unboxing impression. It's nice to get 3 faceplates and the wedges included, but those must have generated a ton of plastic waste since most people stick with 1 color faceplate, and many people don't need the wedges or retrofit.
    I think the coupon makes up for it since I can pick exactly 1 faceplate with the color I want, and not have to toss 3 of them into the recycling.

As for the minimalist packaging, that is how every business should be packaging their products so as to minimize packaging waste. Companies who do this are doing their part for the environment. Using recyclable materials would be an added plus.

But I guess they are ok with theft since I recall that they will replace it for free when stolen. I am also somewhat disappointed that they still won't offer local storage of some type. I won't upgrade bc of the price. Maybe if they offer a trade in or really big discount for current subscribers.

    the 24 fps is good and wide view angle.. and the 6 second pre-roll is great... it beats the crap out of the wyze fisher price toy.~bell for Keebler elves to see whos at the door while they bake cookies. now my take on the 3d view ... I think this doorbell is set up for future installments of a outdoor drone security that you rent every month. the drone will be able to locate the motion from the door bell or other cameras. those giving you the best angle of the perps or Keebler elves taking packages if they made a battery version i would get it.. my place has no hard wires for door bells.. but i think they missed a opportunity to do a 2k or 4k doorbell. I also like the automatic Alexa voice response. packaging is beyond ghetto. plus only one cover is lame.. but i like the direction they are going.. if they do a outdoor drone ill be all over it

    Great review! One thing I would add to your reviews is how your original “mechanical” chime works (or doesn’t) with these various models. Not just a verbal comment, I think a video segment would be very helpful. Another person commented that when using a Ring doorbell with a mechanical/transformer chime, there’s an internal battery in the Ring Doorbell that will eventually die. If this is true, does that mean the unit is a throwaway, or can the internal battery be replaced? Somebody needs to either confirm this issue or debunk it. Otherwise another great video, keep them coming.

  • @warrencoakley

    Thanks for the video. As an owner of the original Pro the cost and features for me does not warrant at upgrade for me as this time. I think RING should have done some sort of trade in/upgrade program for existing Pro users. I agree the video quality should of gone to 2K and I'm a little bummed they still have the fish eye view which looks worse than the V1. I honestly thought they would of sorted that in this upgrade. Also been from Ireland we only get 50% of the features they release too which is bad.

      Not sure why the Pro isn’t included in the Amazon trade-in program. I, too, was disappointed about this. But as a Ring Protect Plus subscriber, I did receive 10% off. The fish eye effect is more noticeable when you’re looking at it vertically. Perhaps it’s because of the lens size limitation? Not to mention the technical limits at this price range. At least there isn’t a lot of distortion around the outer edges (there is some).

      I opened a ticket with Ring regarding Alexa notifications not working. They don’t work on the Pro or Pro 2 when “doorbell press announcements” in the Alexa app are turned on and multiple echo (show) devices are selected. I turned that off and made a routine in Alexa to announce a doorbell press instead. I’m not sure if anyone else is having the same issue.

    I think the doorbell is great but the accessories in the box is terrible for a $250 doorbell and also for the 3D view what happens if you have a new build house it probably won’t work because the map Won’t be updated

    • @jeffd3044
      @jeffd3044 3 роки тому +1

      I was bummed a little about the lack of accessories too, but you’re really paying to the technology. The digital coupon for a free second faceplate comes via email within 48 hours (so they say). Know where my 3 extra faceplates are for the Pro 1? Still in the box (I should have sold them on eBay). That’s probably why Ring did it differently this time. As for the 3D/bird’s eye view, Ring is using a ~3 year old satellite view of my house, so you’re probably right about a new build.

      Only get the ring Pro 2 when the internal battery fails, if you don't want to replace it and you Don't have a mechanical doorbell (or do but are using ring chimers/Alex's) the fix for that is goto the device settings and turn the in-home chimer type to non
      this should stop ring Pro from switching to the internal very small capacity battery and crashing due to insufficient battery power output (it fails after about 2-3 years) when someone press the button
      ring says it does not have a battery but it does even the ring Pro/2 does (as mine still functions when it was unplugged when it was refusing to connect to my broken 5ghz network witch was a channel problem on my router not related to ring as my TV rocku wasn't happy about it as well)

I initiated a chat with Ring support this morning & after going through 4 people, I finally had to speak with a sales rep who contacted a colleague & they submitted the order for me.

    Just had one of these Pro 2 doorbells installed. The technician said I did not need the power pro kit. After installation I noticed static noise coming from the chime box and also the chime was ringing when no one was pushing the doorbell. I called Ring and was advised I did need the pro chime kit so I installed it and everything was working fine. I then noticed the doorbell itself was very hot. Spoke to 3 people at Ring and got different answers. One told me it was a fire hazard since it was so hot but offered no fix. I’m debating whether to return and go with something else. My main question is do these doorbells typically get hot? I’m
    not sure what to do at this point.
