The Ring Video Doorbell is a product that we fell in love with. On the surface, a doorbell with a video camera doesn’t seem like much, but Ring took that idea and ran with it until we had the amazing product that sits before us today.
In this Product Spotlight, we’re going to cover the Ring Video Doorbell Pro as that’s what we stock in our stores, but rest assured that every iteration of this product is fantastic and works well. The Pro version is just the one that we found works best for us!
What Is It?
The Ring Video Doorbell is a Smart Home product that connects the front of your home to your devices at all time. By downloading the Ring app, you will receive notifications every time someone rings the bell!
With 1080HD video streaming, a two-way walkie-talkie, and adjustable motion sensors to trigger alerts and activate video streaming, this doorbell boasts a ton of features in a little package.
How It Works
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro uses the Ring app (iOS, Android, Mac, and PC) to connect you to your home wherever you are. Receive custom alerts based on custom motion sensor zones, alerts whenever your doorbell is rung, and see and talk with anyone standing at your door.
