Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus: Enhanced WiFi, Improved Motion Detection, 4-Second Video Previews, and Easy Installation

April B.: I did tons of research before finally settling on the Ring video doorbell 3 and after using it for about a month now I am very pleased with my purchase. The video quality is excellent and the night vision is pretty good too. I’m also very glad I went with the 3 for the pre roll feature, as I feel I would miss a lot without it. My husband did the install but he sure made it look easy. He wired it into our existing doorbell and this has kept the battery charged so far. It seems to bounce around between 90% and 99% but I have yet to see it drop below 90%. Also our inside doorbell still rings because we wired it in which is super nice. The 2 way talk feature is pretty handy and the sound is great. App set up was super easy. My one little problem with this product that I think they could work on a bit is sometimes the video processing can be kind of slow when trying to review motion that just occurred in the app, but other than that I have been very happy with it so far.

R KenbertR Kenbert: We have this Video Doorbell 3 Plus installed as part of larger Ring system with a hardwired Pro model and a Spotlight cam too. We have had no problems with installation or usage. No Wi-Fi issues (thanks to Apple Airport Extreme mesh system). We like that the Ring devices can be linked together with the app, so motion detected on one can trigger recording on others. We chose this battery model because of lack of easy wiring at this specific location, but we like that we also have the option to hardwire it should we decide tackle that specific construction project.

We have been impressed by the field of view of the camera which we estimate is well over 100 feet wide. We have ours installed with the wedge facing downward. We still capture more sky than we expected, but again with such a wide angle lens, even moving it close to the ground would not change things much.

No comment or complaint on battery life so far. We use the device heavily and are in a climate with seasons, so we recommend having a spare battery to swap to keep the device online. No complaints because this is what you need to expect with outdoor battery devices. Our has been installed for about a month...

Mary Kate: The media could not be loaded.  I bought the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus a month ago and my husband thinks it's the greatest invention ever made! The day after I set it up he was at Home Depot shopping when he got the alarm from his phone that someone was at the door. He pulled up the Ring app on his phone and our fence contractor was on our porch. He talked to the contractor for a few minutes through the Ring. He thought it was so cool that he could talk to the fence contractor who was on our front porch while he was in Home Depot!

When I first unboxed the ring, the battery power was about 35%. I was too excited to wait for it to charge so I downloaded the app, inserted the battery, and set it up. (After setting it up, I charged the battery overnight.) We never had a real doorbell, just an old-fashioned handle to twist a real bell and thankfully no one uses it anymore because it was so loud, that I would jump every time I heard it. So, I love the rechargeable battery feature since we had no pre-existing electrical doorbell. We bought a second battery a couple of weeks ago. The battery says that it can last up to six months depending on your settings but we had to...
