Ring Peephole Camera (Door View Cam) | 34–55mm door thickness (Recommended version) | Wireless Doorbell Security Camera with 1080p HD video, Wifi | 30-day free trial of Ring Subscription Plan

So far so good! Had the Ring door view delivered on Amazon Prime next day. When it arrives it comes in a very nicely presented box with a Ring branded sleeve cover. Inside you get everything you need to setup and start working straight away. After downloading the ring app on my phone and creating an account it literally took minutes to install into my existing peephole with no issues. The install was quick and easy anyone could do it no drilling or wiring literally unscrew push in and tighten on . The install looks neat and very modern and also feels very secure. The motion detection and knocking feature has notified me instantly as expected so far with great notification responses and live view over WIFI or 4G on my phone. Battery life is what I expected, I get a very high number of notifications around 60 a day due motion alerts where I live. But the battery over the course of 6 days has lost around 26%. This I don’t think is bad considering I check every alert and live stream periodically through the day. Due to this reason I have purchased an extra battery to cover the times when this is charging, I’d estimate a full charge could last a month with a busy doorway easily. When I first got the device I charged it for a few hours before plugging it in (this was not a full charge) so had around 73% when installed. So I’d recommend leaving it in for the 5-6 hours it states online to get to 100% before first use. Overall this Ring door view seems to do everything that’s stated on the packaging as described! It’s a must for private renters like myself. With no drilling, I can easily remove the device and replace with the existing peephole if I were to move. It is a little on the expensive side but for the positives it brings I can’t really think of any negatives. On a note I do have a outside light so can’t comment on the night vision, but the daytime viewing looks very clear. Rather than buying a Ring chime product to hear the doorbell when press, i have linked it to my Echo Plus speaker. So for any doorbell presses or motion Alexa will alert me with a chime and voice notification. This paired with an Apple Watch notifications means I’ll never miss the door again! One thing that worried me was the though of the device being stolen, but if you have the Ring plan (£2.50 a month at the time of this review) you are covered. The device would save the video to the cloud if anything happened to the device and Ring will replace one device for free if stolen. And also I think if anyone tried to rip the doorbell off it would make the unit unusable for them as the battery and connector would stay on the inside of the home out of reach. The device is not as big and obtrusive as I originally anticipated, can’t complain as it’s a lot more sleek than the original Ring devices. Overall I’d defiantly recommend getting the Ring door view. It offers peace of mind knowing your front doors covered with cloud based recording with 24/7 viewing.

I wanted a camera doorbell for a long time. Three reasons; 1: I live in a flat and there are a lot of dodgy characters hanging around the block. 2: Loads of chuggers and Jehovahs knocking on the doors (less lately obviously) 3: People seem to have the annoying habit of banging on the door with their knuckles rather than using the letter box. Drives me nuts. Now a new 4th reason....delivery drivers who now feel it's appropriate to throw parcels on your doormat and run without even waiting to see if anyone is home! I obviously knew about the Ring products but did not want to start drilling holes and stuff, then by accident came across this which I never knew existed. Just brilliant. It is so easy to install, unscrew and remove the peep hole (no loss as could never reach it anyway) and replace it with this, very easy to do, took me less than 10 minutes to fit, they even provide a tool to remove the peep hole. They also include a adapter for the hole so you can get a perfect fit. Very clever and so easy. The batteries only last me about 2 weeks as I have the motion detection set on high, no point otherwise is there? The first charge for the batteriy is about 6 hours but they seem to charge much quicker after that. It has been brilliant since I got it, app is sometimes a bit glitchy and sometimes there is a delay but overall it has been good. Have already caught a strange person knocking on doors and has already saved one of my parcels from being stolen, I have had it for just under 6 weeks. They see the camera and then don't bother. The only thing I don't like is that after the first initial month you need to subscribe to Ring to get recordings , it is £2.50 a month or £24.99 if you pay for the year in advance, I feel this should be free but have signed up as it is worth having. Really glad I got it.

I am so glad that I bought this Ring View Door Cam, the picture is so clear and depending on background noise, the sound is excellent, the motion detection is awesome, my garden gate is 12ft approx. from my front door where my Ring Door View Cam is, if I set the motion detection two foot back from the gate, it will still detect movement outside of my garden, knock detection is adequate, but doesn't always work. A schedule can be put in place using the app, if there are certain times that you don't want to be notified of movement, the video quality can also be set to HDR, which does use more battery power, but I've not used it yet and I find the picture quality excellent, there is a motion frequency section in settings and you have 3 options, 1. Frequent - captures and notifies you about every movement (shortest battery life) 2. Standard - captures and notifies you about movement less often (standard battery life) 3. Light - captures and notifies you even less often (maximum battery life), I have mine set on standard, I've had it a little over a week and my battery is sitting at 87%, that battery useage includes playing around with it when I first got it, the battery, out of the box takes exactly 6 hours to get to a full charge. My door has raised panels on it, so is different thicknesses in different places, I neglected to measure the place where my peephole actually was, which is thinner than the requirements for the Ring Door View Cam, I've managed to make temporary adjustments for now, but I've been in contact with Ring on Facebook and made a couple of suggestions, they are really good, they're very responsive, they will always answer within a few hours and they said that they wil pass on my suggestions of either a shorter securing nut or a spacer panel for the back, on to their management team. I had a bit of a problem with the app in as much as I couldn't scan the installation code om the rear unit during setup, but you don't need it, you just put in your address and postcode and do it that way, I mentioned the problem with the app to Ring and they thanked me and said they would pass it on to the developers, it is very easy to set up. The app itself is very intuitive, it's easy to understand and to use, there are many settings to go through to enable you to to set it to your own requirements, be careful with the ribbon on the end of the cam when you put it through the peephole, as it's quite fragile, I didn't think that I'd need the spare ribbon that comes with the bell, but unfortunately, I did, fitting the spare one was fairly easy though, but again, be careful when handling it, I couldn't see spare ribbons in the Ring Shop on their website, so I asked them about it and they said that if I ever needed another one, just to let them know and they would send me one. I didn't purchase an extra Ring Door Chime as I didn't feel that I needed it, the ringer is in the outside unit, but it has a good volume to it, the app will also let you know by ringing when the doorbell is pressed and sounding a tone when there is motion outside your door, the sounds both for the doorbell and the notifications on the app, are customisable. So in summing up my review, I feel that the Ring Door View Cam is an excellent product, definitely worth the money. and in my own opinion, Ring Customer Service is second to none, I hope that this review helps people to come to a decision when purchasing their first or next door cam and if you're hesitatiing because of the price of £179, all I can say is, in todays world, what price security?

Loved this. Wish we'd bought one before. We've bought the Door View Cam version to go through the existing spyhole (which we never use). Tip: IMO this is the better location to install the camera from several points of view, including the 'point of view' (centre square and best viewing angle height - on the front door) + the hot-swappable battery is then on the inside of the house and a reasonably strong metal pipe (replacing the old spyhole lens) anchors the device on the inside + no need to use the wired version of this gadget (which in our case would have meant a considerable amount of work with our electrician to place a transformer + cables anywhere near the front door + hiding all the cables mess that comes with it. And so having this Door Cam version of the product + spare battery (£18) solves that problem and leaves the device more reasonably secured on the door with the battery safely on the inside and easily swappable for the spare. We love all features of the device (covered in all the other reviews) but the video clips online aspect and the app software for reviewing clips is very well made as is the installation instructions that come with the app. I would recommend you download the app and follow those instructions (including video clips) and don't go by the 8 page paper 'manual' included (which is OK but doesn't highlight that there's a retaining seal/selofane wrapper around the connection wire which you pull through the spyhole to attach to the battery compartment on the inside of the door. IE This is much more visible on the app/instructions videos - and is well done by Ring. The only gripes so far (which don't warrant losing a star but could be improved, hopefully with a firm/software update) are: 1. No control (that I can find at least) on the outside ring style. The default is very 'tinny' and sounds dreadful up loud. 2. You can turn down the outside ringer volume but this also turns down the talk audio volume. These should be two different controls as we want to be able to talk loud enough for visitors (on a reasonably busy street) but we don't want the terrible ringer chime going off, every time some rings the bell. I would prefer to turn the chime off entirely on the outside - but can't see an option for that anywhere. 3. Final gripe is over the cost of having the ring.com system maintain two devices instead of just the one. The £2 per month for the first device (if you want the extras + video clips stored online/retrievable for 30 days) is probably reasonable enough (and very reasonable if you need it) but you can't add another device at £2 which we would do except the minimum charge for "more than one device" is £8 per month - which is not at all reasonable, unless you were planning on surrounding your house inside and out with Ring web cams etc in which case it's probably very cheap again - but Ring should add a simple £2 per cam charge and can it at £8 for lots, instead. A more serious gripe, as mentioned elsewhere, is the time to connect to your mobile phone. The sensor is good, so you get a pre-warning (just) but unlocking your phone, clicking the notification link and waiting for the video feed to come through before you can say anything is very slow - but not 2-3 minutes (!) I've read elsewhere. It might take 10-20 seconds but that's a lot in some scenarios. In our case, we work from home and can't always answer the door so we have found that the Windows 10 desktop app is very good and much quicker for this: We get a motion detect outside, click on the live view link and can even intervene a visitor before they even press the doorbell (subject to having the right outside audio setting in place, see earlier comment). Overall: love the gadget. Very well designed, built and documented in the app. Works very well for most scenarios but the outside bell chime needs some additional controls/thinking as does the connection time from bell to mobile + additional costs for 2-4 gadgets.

Very good quality and so easy to install. Would highly recommend this model.

First and foremost, I'm delighted that Ring has reintroduced this product. It's a welcome return, considering the significant demand in the market, particularly for apartments/flats where traditional smart doorbells may not be suitable. This device performs really well, boasting a commendable battery life and straightforward setup process (comes complete with tools). I love how I can still use the peephole functionality. I've utilized the Ring app and found it to be highly responsive, seamlessly transitioning from other tasks to provide a view of who's at the door. However, one drawback worth noting is its lack of compatibility with Apple HomeKit, which may be a concern for users invested in that ecosystem. The convenience of directing delivery drivers to leave packages at my door, especially when paired with Ring's smart intercom, enhances the whole experience of this device. Yet, there's room for improvement in its actual doorbell visibility, as visitors unfamiliar with Ring products may struggle to locate the doorbell, as it blends in a little. Maybe including a sticker indicating its location could alleviate this issue, That said I appreciate the feel of the button's rubbery texture and shines a blue circular light when pressed. Furthermore, the doorbell's loudness and excellent image quality are noteworthy positives. While the audio performance could be enhanced, overall, I'm very satisfied with this product.

I ordered this because I can't get a decent doorbell to cover my whole house and the added security of the camera was also a big factor of course. The unit was well packaged and came with absolutely everything you need to install it. It was incredibly simple to fit, the attention to detail is a delight...even down to the small metal tool they provide that has 4 functions. Very clever. The hardest part was removing the old peephole that had layers of paint on it, but the little tool provided made short work of that and it came out no problem.. The set up feature on the app made this so simple it is untrue. I had the whole thing out of the box, app downloaded and doorbell installed in less than 30 minutes. It works perfectly and I have now enabled the announcements on my various Alexa devices around the house. The motion sensor is a good feature, and the ability to set zones is excellent. Video quality is better than my wall mounted cameras on the front of the house. I am now waiting for someone to call to test it out for real ...could be a wait with the current lockdown though. Our testing has seen excellent coverage of our front doorstep, driveway and boundary fence (15m away). The night vision is excellent. So far the lag from pressing the doorbell to echo/apple watch/phone alerts is less than 10 seconds. The video quality is really good and the sound too. Could easily hold a conversation with someone at the door. Can't comment on the time lag when away from the home/not on our own wifi though. The added peephole that is built in to the camera is a feature I didn't realise it had, this is also so much better than the old peephole. I would recommend this without a doubt, we have integrated it into our current set up with ease and sharing the device through the app to another phone was also very easy. Can't comment on the battery life at the moment, but overall very pleased as the unit is not too large, fits our door well (4.5cm thick) and we can now hear the doorbell from virtually anywhere.

EDITED - 24 April 2020. RING Support have reached out to me and performed some trouble shooting and we reset the device and for now the issue has disappeared currently but we will continue to monitor over the next week or so, so an improvement right now. Previous Review. First off - this Door View cam makes me feel safer at home which is great, unit was easy to fit and setting up was a bit frustrating but got there in the end, the app worked great on my iphone and was laggy when connecting away from home but seemed to off got better which could be due to may factors not related to Ring as away from home and using cellular networks. Overall up to this point was very impressed and very happy with the added sense of security and that I could scroll through events right at my door which had helped me with a few issues with deliveries and having video proof. Now the bad. Since RING launched the snapshot feature and having enabled this feature the snapshot feature seems to have a mind of it own, blocks of hours would be blank throughout the night or the day and is very random. And now since RING released the last few updates to the RING APP i am having lots of wifi connectivity and strength issues. My fibre broadband is 220MB. Router is 1 meter off the floor. All of my home devices are CAT 7 Cable networked so only a few devices use WIFI. Distance between Router and Door View Cam is about 9 ft with no connectivity limiting obstacles. Set up a dedicated wifi 2.4ghz network just for the door cam and scanned channels in immediate vicinity to make sure there are no conflicts. Multiple speed tests conducted on an ipad and iphone using the dedicated network standing next to door cam gave an average ping of 14ms and average download speed of 145MB and an average upload speed of 12MB. BUT RING APP STILL says WIFI connectivity is weak and that I need to trouble shoot and improve my wifi!! I have proven it is not my wifi and it is ring hardware and ring software and at these price points this type of issue should not be an issue. Really regretting being so invested in RING.

Wir sind mit dem Ring-Türspion vollkommen zufrieden, das Gerät hat für uns kaum Schwächen. Bereits das Auspacken machte große Freude, denn es wurde an fast alles gedacht um es dem Kunden so einfach wie irgend möglich zu machen. Bis auf einen Bohrer, war alles dabei, was man auch benötigen könnte für eine Montage. Wir haben das Glück, das unsere Haustür - also das Türblatt an einigen Stellen so dünn war, daß die maximalen 55mm die benötigt werden um die Ring zu montieren, nicht überschritten wurden. Klasse ist auch, daß es inzwischen eine Menge an Videos gibt, die auch die letzte evtl noch verbliebene Fragen beantworten, oder jede Unklarheit beseitigen können. Der Leistungsumfang bei Ring berechtigt den Preis dieses Spions allemal. Denn es ergeben sich weder bei den Erklärungen in der Anleitung, der Einfachheit der Einbindung in das heimische WLAN, dem Einbau und schon gar nicht bei der Nutzung irgendwelche Schwächen. Sogar das Verbinden mit Alexa war nach kurzem Zweifeln eigentlich super einfach. Wir wollten von Anfang an eine Möglichkeit, nicht nur um direkt zu überprüfen wer vor der Tür steht, sondern auch von anderer Stelle im Haus über Alexa Show mittels Kamera Bild zu sehen, wer vor der Tür steht. Das ich mit diesem Ring-Spion nicht nur das erleben werden würde, sondern sogar auch entweder über das Handy oder eben Alexa mit der Person vor der Tür sprechen können würde, hatte ich so genial einfach nicht erwartet. Riesig war die Freude, als ich vor unserer Haustür stehend mit einem Lieferanten den Ring-Spion bewunderte und dann die Stimme meines Mannes, der sich mind in 50km Luftlinie Entfernung in seinem Büro sitzend, glasklar zu hören bekam. Das die Ring auch schlicht jegliche Bewegung von Menschen vor unserer Haustür meldet ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt, dieses unserer Ansicht nach sehr ausgereiftem Systems. Wir haben ein recht verwinkeltes Haus, daher waren wir bereits länger gezwungen, mehrere WLAN Repeater im Haus zu verteilen. Woran es liegt, kann ich nicht sagen, aber ich kann sagen, daß das tatsächlich gestochen scharfe Bild innerhalb von max 3 Sekunden auf dem Echo zu sehen ist. Die stimmliche Warnung, das Bewegung vor der Haustür festgestellt wurde, ist sogar fast noch schneller zu vernehmen über Alexa. Glücklicherweise wiederholt Alexa diese Warnung nur jeweils 2x, denn sie meldet natürlich auch dann Bewegung, wenn man selbst den Mülleimer bewegt, oder das Auto wegfahren will. Es ist ein erheblicher Sicherheits und Komfortgewinn. Durch das Infrarot-Licht kann man auch bei völliger Dunkelheit noch erkennen, ob und wer vor der Tür steht. Lediglich dann, wenn man nur Analog durch den Sucher schaut, ist das gezeigte Bild für mich recht klein. Die zu überwachenden Bereiche lassen sich sehr gut und individuell einstellen. Auch die jeweiligen Voreinstellungen, Zuhause, Inaktiv und Abwesend sind eine komfortable Hilfe bei der Bedienung. Ob man den Speicher-Service, der zusätzliche Kosten verursacht nutzen möchte, bleibt jedem selbst überlassen. Wir sind dahingehend noch etwas unschlüssig, werden uns aber wohl anschauen, wie es ist, ohne diesen Service. Denn es gehören ja 30 Tage kostenlose Nutzung der Speicherung der Vorkommnisse zum Paket. Wir sind froh dieses Sicherheitsfeature gewählt zu haben, denn es beruhigt ungemein. Von uns gibt es ein ganz eindeutige und 100%ige Kaufempfehlung.

Dopo aver installato lo spioncino video Ring, la mia percezione della sicurezza domestica è decisamente migliorata. L'installazione è stata semplice e guidata passo dopo passo tramite l'app Ring, intuitiva e ben fatta. La qualità video è ottima, sia di giorno che di notte grazie alla visione notturna. Il sensore di movimento è preciso e le notifiche arrivano in tempo reale sullo smartphone, permettendomi di vedere chi si avvicina alla porta anche quando non sono in casa. Molto utile anche la funzione audio bidirezionale, che consente di parlare con i visitatori senza dover aprire la porta. Un altro punto a favore è la possibilità di salvare i video in cloud, utile in caso serva rivedere o conservare una registrazione. Nel complesso, un ottimo investimento per chi cerca un sistema di sorveglianza pratico ed efficace. Consigliato!

Worth it! Easy to install on the peep hole. Easily get the battery to charge. Just be sure you have spare batt, so you can charge while using the other. Just be aware of some community that doesn't allow to use it in UAE.

Si buscas un sistema que te avise de extraños, golpes en la puerta, etc, esta mirilla es sin duda muy recomendable. La instalación es sencillísima, realmente no engañan cuando dicen que se instala en minutos. La aplicación es bastante intuitiva, al principio tienes que investigar un poco todas las opciones pero se maneja muy fácil. El modo básico (sin suscripción) te avisa de lo que pasa en ese momento, pero nada más. También puedes tú mirar lo que sucede, pero siempre en ese momento, NO graba. La suscripción básica ya incluye grabaciones y avisos, la opción más recomendable para saber qué ha pasado y tener grabaciones de ello (40€ al año me parece un precio bastante ajustado). El plan mejorado incluye poder hablar en directo, grabaciones de varios dispositivos Ring (idóneo si tienes más cámaras), etc, por 100€ anuales. Destacar si gran autonomía si la configuras como recomiendan (me refiero a duración de video, etc) que tal casi un año de uso puedo decir que cumple de sobra para saber quién ha estado delante de tu puerta y quién ha entrado en tu casa. En resumen, una mirilla digital que te permite ver quién llama estés o no en casa, además si la configuras para avisos de movimiento te sirve como cámara de seguridad, su visión sin luz también es muy buena.

A Really good door camera! Sharp color image, wide field, recording option, suitable for a standard door peephole in Sweden, easy installation, can be shared with as many cellphones you need. I recommend this camera!
