![]() This isn’t a deal-breaker, but it’s a feature we would have liked to see. We loved how the Arlo and Google Nest Hello allowed us to respond to visitors with the push of a button, and it seems like this is glaringly missing from the Ring. One thing we thought was missing, however, was pre-recorded responses. We also found the audio quality to be pretty good on either end of the device, although the speaker in the doorbell itself makes things sound a little tinny. Conversations happen in near real-time, so we never found ourselves talking over our guests or missing what they were saying. Some of the doorbells we’ve tested have a problem with significant lag in their two-way talk functionality. Another handy touch is that Ring includes a level that snaps into the unit during the install so we were able to make sure it was perfectly squared up before tightening. That was kind of a pain, but it was still pretty easy using the provided screwdriver. One thing we noticed, though - the Ring is designed in such a way that we couldn’t use our drill to screw the doorbell into place. ![]() All it took was two screws to secure the mounting bracket, and four screws to secure the Ring doorbell to it. Once we found the instructions, the installation process was super straightforward. The unit itself will ring when the doorbell is pressed by a guest, but if you think you’ll miss the traditional “ ding dong” of a doorbell, you should consider purchasing a chime. Working with electricity can be dangerous! 2Īlso worth noting, the Ring does not come with a chime - either wired or wireless. ![]() Pro Tip: If you decide to wire the Ring Video Doorbell 3 into your existing doorbell wiring, make sure you’re following safety protocols.
