Ring Peephole Cam - Smart video doorbell, HD video, 2-way talk, easy installation

I live in an apartment building and this is great for me. The camera is clear I can speak and be heard through the camera and it was very easy to install.

I took about a month to fully review this product. Here is what I think about the peephole/door bell.Overall a very good product. I will say that there are a few improvements that could be done. Below I'll go over some pros and cons that I have noticed. There are not many cons for what you get.Environment/elements the camera was tested in: Apartment complex, door opens to outdoors, no hallway, day and night application, 1st floor, high person traffic, hot and cold (34 was the lowest), rain, bright sun, cloudy, high wind. The door is covered so some element protection.Pros:Easy to connect to app and internet.Clear video and images (could be better, still good)Battery does last a while even with a lot of settings turned up along with sensitivity high.Door bell works wellNight vision does very well when in low light.All tools needed to install are in the box.Easy to install on the door.The knock sensor is really nice.Good quality materials.Can change out the face plate.Battery swap is easy, it doesn't take too long to come back online when swapping.Can have a privacy block on the video.Depending on your setup, it can give you a better view (wider) than the doorbell.Cons:The sensor has a delay when picking up people.The delay in pushing the doorbell to phone notification. I got it, it could be internet and phone service.Overall, good product and great features for cost.Note: take your time installing when pushing through the door peephole. The ribbon is sensitive.Last con-Paying for the new save your videos (a/o 23MAR23)Kind of a scam to have everyone pay their videos. Make a "free" feature get everyone on board and then dump that, c'mon. Okay rant done.

Not this to monitor the area in front of my apartment. Works great. Fits perfect on the already existing peephole. Easy install and connection. Night vision also looks clear. No storage capacity. FYI get it with the extra battery.

This peephole camera arrived in good condition. No damage to the packaging.Device was installed the way that the instructions detailed.Device never worked, straight out of the box.Ring support reached out and provided free troubleshooting.Concluded to be a manufacturing defect and device was replaced free of charge.

This is my first Ring product. I have used Arlo in the past and currently have Blink cameras. The Ring camera has been installed for just about two weeks.Installation was easy and clear. There were a couple of points where I was not sure what to do and there are helpful videos that clear up any confusion. Hardest part was getting my old peephole out of the door and that's because whoever installed it did not make the hole large enough.The motion detection gets tripped up by all the same things my other cameras get tripped up on -- mainly cars and trucks going by. There is a nice interface to adjust the motion detection zone. Still zeroing in on my sweet spot. I have the unit behind a screen door and the motion detection is working just as well as any other device I have tried. I had one motion event missed today and that is the first so far. Based on experience with other products I would say the motion detection is better than average and the method to adjust it is both novel and superior.Picture quality it excellent and it does a great job of capturing faces. I can't tell the difference between the HDR and non HDR setting.Battery is excellent. 5-10 activation events during the day and it's still almost full. It does take a long time to recharge the battery so picking up a second battery is a good idea if you are worried about having downtime while you recharge. I have HDR on, which is supposed to be a negative to battery, but no issues yet.I cannot comment on the night vision. The product description warns that a screen or storm door in front of the product may impact motion detection and night vision. Motion detection was working fine, so I tried night vision, and it is rendered useless because of the screen.No network issues of any kind.The software is great. Not thrilled about paying per camera -- I think maybe a low cost $5 tier for the first two or three cameras is fair and then go from there. There is an annoying delay from when you get an alert until when you are able to view the video -- you get a "hang on we're still processing" message -- and this takes far too long. I don't experience this with my Blink cameras. They need to work on this.Able to see through the peephole no issues.Do not have much experience with it as a doorbell just yet. Only one ring so far and I was not home. I will probably buy the additional bell they sell.Curious to see how it performs later in the year behind a storm window, but so far, I am very happy with it. I am considering purchasing more Ring products.

This security camera is a life saver. We have a 2nd fl condo. The entry door is an exterior door on first floor where we had no doorbell and no electrical outlets. The way our 2nd floor windows are, you can’t look down and see who is at the front door. It was a real problem. The first peephole camera we ordered from Amazon and installed worked great for an hour. We returned it and replacement cam is working perfectly.Installation instructions aren’t the best. But you can call ring and they help you. It’s actually very easy once you understand the steps. It includes simple tool to remove and save your peephole in case you move and take camera with.The batteries are on the part of device that is inside the house, which makes it more secure. They are rechargeable and I think they will last a long time.This cam is so worth it. No wiring like the doorbell cameras have

Works as advertised! Very easy to install even with no peep hole!

It works very well, good quality, easy to install.
