My daughter got it for me last Christmas and I was skeptical since I don't like all the stuff which takes over your home.

But the ring doorbell is great. I rely on it a lot.

Tells me when someone is standing in front of my door whether I am home or not. Sends a message and picture to my cell phone. Let's me know if someone just dropped off a package but didn't ring the doorbell.

ours is less about security and more about what critters come by at night

so we can send you money for the prison commissary. It’s just as big a joke as you meant that video to be.

First they don’t do much for security. In my experience just because you have video doesn’t mean you will be able to catch a bad actor. But they have answered questions for what happened when things go amiss. Videos of porch pirates, dog walkers not picking up after the dog and my own mugging all make for nifty souvenirs but not much else. No crimes have been solved though there was one dogwalker who was later chastised for her dereliction of doo doo duty.

I like to check on the dogs when they are out back doing their business. And when they are lounging around the house.

I also like to see what is happening out front without looking out the windows. I would mount permanently out front but haven’t determined the best position yet.
