Ring Video Doorbell Pro: Enhanced Security & Sleek Design

RobRob: I was looking for a replacement to my rusted doorbell and thought why not one of these more advanced video doorbells compared to the old, existing button doorbell.

Transformer:
I will talk about the transformer since there aren’t too many reviews based on it. The Ring website states, “Requires a 16-24 VAC transformer.” However, on the technical detail section on Amazon, it states, “Hardwired to existing doorbell systems (16-24 VAC, 30 VA) or powered by Ring Plug-In Adapter.” The Ring website did not specify the 30 vA requirement while the Amazon detail section did.

Dialing the support number I braced myself for the never ending conversation with someone that is hard to understand and even harder to get to understand the issue so Imagine my surprise when the person I was directed to was not that at all. I am not sure if I should share his name so I will just call him Mr. K., Mr. K. slowly walked through the issue with me and indulged my interruptions of what I believed the issue could be and what my trouble shooting methodology was (I'm an IT by trade so I kinda nuked it, <--- Military people will get the reference lol). I gave him temporary access to my ring device as we slowly walked through the troubleshooting process one inch at a time. I will spare you the painful details (which to...
