How rubbish ring is
This system is rubbish! I don’t want to pay for a subscription, I have the ring products and wish to use the product I spent good money for! If you haven’t got a subscription you can’t access the sole purpose of video playback! Useless scam product. Second, why has the door camera become better in functionality now my subscription has ended? Next port of call is twitter! I would not recommend this overpriced product to anyone!

I was shocked to find out after we installed the product to that a subscription was needed to operate full functionality. I'm retired so no spare cash, were on the free trial, so does this mean once the trial is over I'll have a doorbell that I could have paid a fraction for? Tis indeed a con as nowhere is it explained properly although the member of staff I talked with swore blind it is on the website clearly pff pff.

I thought it was very clear from the website that to be able to review what had already been recorded that you have to subscribe to one of the Protect Plans, I didn't feel at all conned and am very pleased with mine. Some people won't want the protection and will be grateful that if they just want to use it as a video doorbell that they do not have to pay for a subscription.

After care is the worst. Faulty products after 10 months, they only acknowledge half of the issue. Expect the user to know all sorts of technical network settings which only network provider would have. Try their hardest to upsell the pro chime as it’s a solution for faulty items some how. Then when the issue isn’t 100% resolved and you pass the warranty phase, it’s too late. No customer loyalty nothing. DONT SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR SERVICES. Ring is a scam. In Jan 2024 there is an article from CBS news stating how the products fail, and how engineers have been caught connecting remotely to some customers devices without permissions. Don’t trust this company at all.

My Ring Doorbell (Gen2) kept turning off (even though battery 100%). After nearly an hour on the phone I was told to throw it in the bin as it no longer worked…just 2 years old. I asked if I could send it in to be fixed? The answer, ‘no, just throw it away’. Such a bad ethos! I asked if I should take care disposing of it due to the lithium battery? The answer, ‘no, just throw it in the bin’. This is a disgusting attitude to have in this day and age!
