Ring - Always Home 4+

Apple TV app

Would be nice if you could view your cameras on an Apple TV app like some other companies have done as it shouldn’t be hard to add an extra bit of coding to allow the app to work on the Apple TV too.

Apart from this it’s a great camera system! I’ve only got cameras setup at the moment but would’ve liked to use the doorbell intercom but our front door doesn’t suit any type of video doorbell intercom unfortunately as it’s a solid glass door right across the whole entire entrance of our house which I hate but my parents liked the design of it but I’ve always liked security cameras and other things like this where as they aren’t interested in this kind of stuff compared with me I’m a big fan of these things like security cameras and video doorbells and so on.

But it still would be nice if you could access the app on the Apple TV so you can view all of the cameras you’ve got in the Ring system instead of just on an iPhone and an iPad but at least you can get notifications on your Apple Watch though but wish the Apple TV was included in the deal.

Awesome, with proviso’s, needs good wifi!

The Ring doorbell and app are brilliant, IF you have good internet. It really is that simple! I have about 1.5 mbps up which is I think about the minimum needed.
If you have slow ADSL, or in fact ANY problem with your internet service including weak WiFi at the front door- you’ll likely have major issues. I have found there are also problems which affect many of my devices including another brand of security camera, when used with my Telstra cable modem- ended up changing to a different, better quality router, and switching the modem into “bridge” mode which solved all my issues. Blame the crappy Telstra modem, not the Ring!
Three other family members have them as well, and all have good internet, and all have almost zero problems with the Ring Doorbell.
(I don’t have hard wired power to my Ring Doorbell, yet still get months between charges. For those experiencing less time on a charge, or poor connectivity, I’m guessing it’s more than likely a wifi problem, with the Doorbell struggling with the internet connection.)

Great concept & product, requires solid BW.

I have installed a first generation Ring door bell (720HD) and remote chime. Could not justify the additional cost for the higher definition camera. This would also only increase the demand for higher BW.
Both products work very well. I did find that the battery life on the door bell is significantly impacted by the duration and frequency of video streaming/recording. The chime runs off mains.
I have since wired the door bell to mains, note if you do not have an old doorbell that was powered from mains via a transformer, you will require a fair amount of work , but it can be achieved very well with sourcing the required components online.
I personal find the system excellent as I have installed it into my aging parents home to ensure they are not bother by unsolicited sales staff and scammers. It provides them and me a level of peace of mind ,that someone(me)/something(Ring) is watching over them. I am located interstate.
GREAT IDEA , RING.
