first i purchased the ring doorbell 2 like 4 months ago. it worked fine at first then it started having problems wouldn't capture motions quickly enuff. it would skip some motions. the image would get blurry. i contacted help/support and i really didn't like the process i had to go through to get a new device. which might have been refurbished at best. so i decided to upgrade to 3plus. now i cant use the subscription i paid for with doorbell 2. i need a new subscription and i lost my old recordings. i emailed and still haven't gotten a response from the company. what i did get is emails about this review. flimsy cover didn't like how it doesn't fit properly feels like i might break it someday when changing batteries. they are lying about 1080p - the image quality is like 240p. they say its 5ghz capable? its mostly connected to 2.4ghz at the router is like 7 feet away. pre roll not so great - doesn't work at night -low quality image - i guess its okay in the daytime, it does the job now and i can see whats going on. at night when my security lights go on the night vision deactivates and visibility is worse than ring doorbell 2. kinda disappointed i had to shell out this much money in the last few months for the service. 2 devices and 2 subscriptions 4 batteries. they keep emailing me to remove this review. im not going to remove it because its been a few weeks already and they haven’t responded to my initial email about paying for a new subscription. also the new app update sucks - they took away landscape mode and now it only works in portrait mode. i might return this before my return window closes and try the nest doorbell. update 05/15/2020 - they removed the 3 minute snapshot feature for battery owners. what are u guys nuts? running the company to the ground? now you must buy a solar panel charger or hardwire for 3 min snapshot feature.
Upgraded from Doorbell 2. The pre-roll was a great feature and worked pretty well.However, I had to return it and put the Doorbell 2 back because the 3 Plus kept dropping WiFi randomly (hardwired and mesh WiFi router with in 5ft from the doorbell, tried both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz).Live view would rarely work because of it. I could only see the camera when a motion was detected or someone pressed the doorbell.My Doorbell 2 never had this problem. I think the doorbell would just put itself in sleep mode and disconnect from WiFi. But with “Live View” on, it should never disconnect from WiFi. I would love to keep the 3 Plus, but until they fix this issue. I’m gonna have to return it.
Was super excited to Finally get this doorbell — been waiting almost 2 months for the release — I have the Ring Security System and this doorbell really completes it — especially pairing with my Schlage Lock — I can now unlock (Or lock) my door directly from the Ring app when someone is at the door.So after all that waiting, I was super disappointed that they shipped me a defective unit. ;( the battery was on pace to die after 6-7 days. *I’ll describe it more fully below* Ring customer support was great and they are shipping me a new one through Amazon. Will update my review after I test that one.****Review Update 4/25, right before the replacement ring arrived they updated the firmware and magically my doorbell started to charge and finally reached 100%, as it should have). I’ve noticed it drain down to 95% a few times over the last month, but clearly this was an early firmware issue that they resolved. Future orders should be fine******In terms of quality picture — it’s fantastic.Ease of installation — awesome.Performance — works great, detected all relevant motion and has nice features to reduce false positives and non human motion.Integrations — love how it connects into my smart home tech (I.e my Schlage lock) AND the Amazon Integration is great with my Echo Show — the alert comes to my kitchen device and the live video pops up on the screen if the doorbell is pressed.The only integration that sucks is with my Samsung Fridge — nothing pops up there — but truthfully that is Samsung’s fault — they have gone downhill from their vision and their marketing no longer matches what their products actually do. Whoever makes end user software decisions is clueless and un-customer centric — probably a lawyer.The only reason I am rating this 3 star — is they shipped me a defective unit. Serious battery drain. Ring It’s supposed to get ~6 months of use before the battery needs recharged, BUT I connected mine to a strong power source and so it should not only (not drain) but simply sit there, trickle charging, and acting as a backup.Instead my battery went down like 15% in one day. That means it only would have lasted like 7 days. Which is ridiculous. Especially considering I connected it to a primary Power Source — it should never die.I talked to Ring Support — who was great — and they said my doorbell was constantly restarting itself and draining the battery. So they told me to ask amazon to replace it.I’m keeping it at 3 stars until I receive and can test the replacement. But man, what a disappointment.Be careful, if mine is any indication they launched this product with bugs. Maybe it’s hardware, maybe it’s firmware. While I wait for the new device to arrive I noticed ring pushed a firmware update last night and my battery drain has slowed substantially. So that is a positive sign that they are fixing the issue.
