Does not work with existing door chimes
Requires purchase of Ring Chime if you want to hear a ring
Lower resolution than other video doorbells

Has to be recharged, App has to be active in the background, an app cleaner will stop it from working, Doorbell itself can be stolen a bit too easily, App itself is slow
Abstract: When I first saw the Ring video doorbell at CES in 2015 I knew it was a cracking great idea, but only recently have I had the chance to install one at home and really give it a good test – and the concept, theory and product are some of the best Smart Hom...
