Overview
Ring designed this wired video doorbell to draw power from your existing doorbell wiring for around the clock operation. It sends alerts to your phone when someone approaches or rings, and two-way talk lets you answer from wherever you are.
Constant power from the house wiring removes battery charging from the routine, and it pairs with Alexa screens and speakers. Your existing mechanical chime will no longer sound, and recorded history requires a Ring Protect subscription.
Who it's for
Front doors with existing doorbell wiring and an Alexa device or Ring Chime for indoor sound get the cleanest setup. Doors without doorbell wiring, or owners who want clip history without a subscription, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Constant power from existing doorbell wiring
- Two-way talk with visitors
- Night vision for after-dark detail
- Works with Echo Show and Echo Dot
- Does not sound your existing chime
- Video history needs a Ring Protect subscription
- Requires existing doorbell wiring
- Supports the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band only
Performance notes
Video at the door depends on the Wi-Fi signal reaching it, since it streams over the standard band and a weak link slows live view. Motion alerts come from its advanced motion detection, and the privacy settings shape which activity gets flagged. Night vision covers the dark hours.
