Initially worked for 3 weeks then stopped. Connection kept cutting out, had to reconnect daily. Drove me nuts. Returned it for another brand that actually works.

I've been using this product for a couple of weeks. I have strong wifi strength on both the chime (RSSI: -35) and the doorbell (RSSI: -53), and am connected to the NBN on Telstra 100/40 Mbps. Thus, my internet connectivity is about as good as you'll get in practical terms. The product has a good wide angle lens, though video can be quite blocky when objects are moving (e.g. people approaching your door), due to the amount of compression used. The video is usable to see who is at your door, though not as good as what is shown in Ring's promotional videos. Night vision is OK to see who is at your door, though it doesn't cast more than a couple of meters. There is a small delay connecting the smartphone app, for use as a video intercom. Not too bad, just a second or two. The pricing of the monthly account is quite good (low) compared to other cloud video cameras. The downside is that the service records video only on motion activation. Furthermore, the video records for ju

Motion alerts are pointless in urban areas; You're probably fine with the Doorbell 2;

The Ring Pro offers crystal clear 1080p video recordings and hardly any false-positive notifications. We'd happily pay the extra money for the Ring Pro over the standard model for its custom motion zones and longer video recordings but you will likely need to factor in the additional cost of professional installation.
When we reviewed the original Ring Video Doorbell three years ago, it earned high marks for its easy installation, sharp video quality, and motion detection, but was dinged for its middling audio quality, lack of on-demand video, and short battery life. With the new Video Doorbell Pro ($249), Ring has addressed all of these gripes and added some handy features including 1080p video, custom motion zones, pre-buffering to capture what was going on before the motion sensor was triggered, support for Alexa voice commands, and interoperability with other smart devices via IFTTT. All this earns it our Editors' Choice for video doorbells. Design and Features At 4.5 by 1.8 by 0.8 inches (HWD), the Ring Pro is slimmer and looks more like a traditional doorbell than the August Doorbell Cam Pro, the RemoBell, and the original Ring. It comes with four interchangeable faceplates (black, bronze, nickel, and white) to match the exterior of your home, a screwdriver, mounting screws and anchors, ...
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is a sleek smart doorbell that lets you see who is at your door in real time, who came calling while you were away, and uses pre-buffering so you won't miss a thing.
Slender design; Sharp 1080p video; Supports IFTTT and Alexa voice commands; Motion detection with pre-buffering; On-demand streaming; Easy to install
Pricey; Access to recorded video costs extra; Some barrel distortion
I bought this on sale, and I’m loving it. Using it to see who’s at my door when I’m not home, and it works super easily. Image is clear, and extra features of the Pro (motion detection zones) are definitely worth it. Note that this one isn’t battery powered, so you’ll need a mains power point for the transformer then run the low-voltage cable through the wall to the doorbell.
