Who is at the door?

• see and talk to who is at the door
• feeling of safety
• sometimes some delay

Bought this bell following a threatening event. It is a large doorbell and just fits on the door frame. The nice thing is that you can see via the app who is at the door when they ring the bell to talk to (or ignore) this person from your chair.

There is also a live image option, if you are curious about what is happening outside and don't feel like getting up :)

There is an option to take out a subscription, which is approximately € 3.33 per month, then you can view events and save them for up to 180 days. A subscription to a streaming service is more expensive ;) .

You can adjust many settings to your personal preferences via the app. Ring volume/melody settings. The motion settings so that it only detects people and not an insect flying by or sitting in front of the camera.
You can also choose from various preset messages, such as a voicemail. But so far that is only English.

How quickly you need to charge depends on how many movements take place. You can get the bell by: the screws from the door frame, and leave you on like a cell phone. To then slide it back into the holder, screw in the screws, and it can be used again (for a while).

It does cost a bit of money, but you get what you pay for.

The chime, the gong for the Ring doorbell
- plug it in and you don't have to worry about it anymore.
- This indicates when someone rings the doorbell or when there is movement.
- You can also set this to your own liking in the app. (Volume, Melody)
- The blue light can be turned off if you find it too bright.

I think the generation 2 is better and will stay.

• nice design
• Sharper image than series 1

The Ringbel generation 2 has a nicer image than generation 1 that I still have installed at the front door. This rings has the problem that it starts with a bright image when starting up a live image and gets darker immediately afterwards. Which makes it very hard to see. Together I am now 3 to 4 years old.
