A better battery design makes Ring's new doorbell buzz

2017-07-07
Rings video doorbell - is the best battery-powered buzzer available today for 199 dollars you get 1080p HD resolution night-vision live-streaming a 160 degree field of view activity alerts and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that's supposed to last for up to one year and unlike rings original video doorbell version 2.0 is battery is removable that means you don't have to actually take the doorbell off the wall to recharge it simply take out the battery charge it and replace it better yet buy an extra ring battery pack for 29 bucks so you never have to wait for the battery to charge you can hardwire this doorbell if you want but this models battery design is its best feature and main selling point it's the buzzer I'd choose to watch over my house if I didn't have an existing wired setup and didn't want to deal with installing one battery aside the video doorbell - functions much the same as rings other buzzers you'll get a crisp live feed in day and night vision modes assuming your Wi-Fi connection at home is solid and you can chat with visitors from your phone anywhere you have access to a Wi-Fi or cellular network my main gripe is the optional $3.00 minimum monthly fee you'll need to pay for cloud video storage competitors like skybell offer free cloud storage so I'm not sure what's topping rain from doing the same that said ring is slowly closing the gap with new products features and smart home integrations which currently include Amazon Alexa via the echo show if and wank if you want to avoid electrical wiring the ring video doorbell - is the best option especially for its smartly designed rechargeable battery
