Ring used to be my favorite. Not anymore
To start,
I’ve been a huge Ring fan for years and decided to switch my entire system from Nest to Ring. BIG MISTAKE! Let me tell you why.
First, the battery cameras are a great idea and I didn’t want to be putting wires outside of my new house and extension cords. Unbeknownst to me the battery life on this thing SUCKS. So, I ended up buying the solar panel which greatly increased the battery life. if you go on a long vacation you might not be safe with this security system
Wait, there’s more!
Last weekend I get a ring notification someone was in front of my door and one of my cameras picked up. Turns out someone was lingering around for a few minutes and messed with my car. I was so happy to know Ring did me right. I looked in the footage and WHAT???? it didn’t record the whole action. Ring DOES NOT have continuous recording and because of that the camera could not record long and the police couldn’t see the culprit trying to break in.
Ring records in small segments after detects motion but do not think this would be useful all the time. For me it wasn’t and I regret switching to Ring.
This is my honest review from someone who used to be a huge fan to soon rip this garbage out of my house.
