Easy install. I have a wired system so it works extremely well and trickle charges the battery to 100 percent daily. Works with the preexisting doorbell in the home. App is very easy to operate and 40 dollars per unit per year for the Ring fee (I have two units on my home). Rename each unit so you’ll know where the motion, package or person is and the phone feedback ie alerts have approximately a 5-10 delay. You can set zones so normal walking or road traffic doesn’t give you false alerts or not and just get everything from walkers to car traffic your choice. Highly recommend. Night vision is limited though I’d say around 20 feet in the dead of night.
One concern I found out later after the install is batteries and cold weather. Apparently these batteries need to be removed, warmed the charged. They will not trickle charge when the temperature is below 34 degrees as well the same warning for those that have extreme temperatures as they will not charge and may shut down in direct sunlight with temperatures over 105 F.

RING Doorbell2 -- it works, but hard part was drilling holes in the wall
brought this RING Doorbell2 for ninety-nine bucks from here on amazon (it may cost a little bit more now). certified refurbished. came in original box. opened the box and everything looked new. a little intimidating at first with all the parts involved, but really the only major difficult task was drilling the holes in the stucco wall outside our front door. one other confusing task was setting up the wifi. instructions said to scan a code, but could not figure out which code, so had to try another way, stumbled through that other way, and then finally had the wifi connected.then figured out how to remove the old doorbell, drilled holes into the wall, attached the old doorbell wires to the new RING doorbell, screwed the RING doorbell into place on the wall, straightened it up a bit because the drilled holes were a little bit off, spackled/filled the gaps between the stucco wall and the RING doorbell, cleaned up the mess, and was done. and pressed the button, ding dong, it worked.want to note that getting the RING/motion notifications were more instantaneous on iphone than on android. me carry both iphone and android, and can tell you that iphone is more consistently instantaenous for RING notifications than on android. however, for android, you may want to adjust settings for the RING apps to not optimize battery usage -- otherwise the notifications could be delayed on android. whether you have iphone or android, get both the regular RING app and the RAPID RING app.if you set up the alexa skill, you will get instantaneous notification alerts on your echo -- and you can view the RING camera by telling your FIRE TV to show the front door on your TV. really nice if you have the FIRE TV CUBE using vocal commands to see the frontdoor RING fisheye view on the bigscreen TV.very satisfied with RING Doorbell2 at the discounted certified refurbished price of a hundred bucks (could cost more when you read this). if you are deciding between version1 and version2, definitely get the RING Doorbell2 with the certified refurbished discount because the price is almost the same (refurbished doorbell2 versus new doorbell1) but you get more value with the RING Doorbell2.
