This is a big jump for doorbell devices. Now, you can place your ring doorbell in the most optimal area to view deliveries, people walking up to the door or you can check on what’s happening in the neighborhood even if it’s across the street. This beats out all of the other enhancements from other video doorbell devices in the market. I’ve seen some bad doorbell placements and you can tell that the builders never envision that someday people would be replacing their doorbells with security video cameras. Another reason why RING is killing the competition is that their batteries last sooo long. With regular everyday use, I’ve seen units last several months before they need to recharge which is very easy to do. Some of my clients even have several RING video doorbells covering their front door, backdoor, enclosed fence and garage entrances. Screwing in the camera to the front door itself is very popular as well since you can get the perfect height and center view for your cameras. Now it is better to use your existing wiring if you can because you don’t have to worry about battery charging but if it’s only one or twice a year, I don’t think most people would mind. Also, it charges like a mobile phone. Plug in a USB charger for a few hours and you’re ready for several more months of video surveillance.
