What also really disappointed me with the Skybell was the motion detection (or rather the lack of it) in the dark. That said, he is good enough to understand each other well. The sound suffers from distortion quite a lot, especially if you set it relatively loud. I personally think the sound quality is mediocre. In hindsight logical, but apparently I had to see it.Īfter installation, define the movement areas as well as set the times (these are not intuitive in my opinion, because you set the times when you do NOT want it to work - small thing). instead of an extremely distorted fisheye shot, you get to see a little more in the image. I thought this would be a disadvantage, but when you hang it in the corner, it turns out to be the opposite. The Skybell had a viewing angle of 180 degrees, this Ring is slightly smaller. This was also the case with the Skybell, but that had to do with the fact that I had an AC bell and it is only compatible with a DC doorbell. Unfortunately my bell no longer works (by default it is also connected in such a way that it no longer works with the Ring). I am at home with it myself, so this was done in no time (by the way, this is much more user-friendly than with the Skybell, you do not receive any information there at all (just look online) and in most cases you have to buy additional things yourself, such as resistors or adapters).

I have to point out that this is definitely not something you just do if you don't know anything about electricity. This was sent back via Coolblue and a new one in the house after two days.
#RING VIDEO DOORBELL PRO#
The first Ring Pro model I got I connected without any major problems, except that it did nothing after booting (didn't set up a WIFI network). Fortunately, this was no problem at all with Coolblue.
#RING VIDEO DOORBELL FREE#
free online storage and the good reviews here and there, but because it eventually turned out not to be compatible with my wife's phone (sony Xperia Z1) (and the fact that the connection once shared with others turned out to be no longer revocable), I exchanged it for the Ring Pro. Too expensive and not interesting without a subscriptionĪfter an attempted break-in at our home and enthusiastic stories from colleagues about smart doorbells and having read me online, I initially opted for the Skybell HD Trim (also via Coolblue), especially because of.
