Welcome neighbor! Please introduce yourself

Hi everyone! I noted that we can’t use our real names so I’ll just go by the name “Loved”. This is my first ring doorbell and ring alarm system. I’m still trying to figure out how to use it properly. So if you hear a couple of sirens going on around you, it just may be me. Lol… I know the first 7 days that you are on a practice run. Did anyone try out your siren or do we supposed to not do that? I haven’t tried mine out yet, but just by reading and watching the videos…I think I made a good choice I buying the ring. Okay, I’m go because I can talk your ears off…??..it was nice meeting all of you and have a BLESSED NIGHT?

Poor customer service! I joined to see how many others have seen a large reduction in the quality of ring customer support, and a huge increse in time wasted to get any issue resolved.

Also,

if anyone has left to try a different company for alarm service and what that experience has been like.

Thanks

Hello everyone!

I just purched my RING system. So far so good. I hope to find the answers I am looking for in this community to help get everything wroing with it. Have a great day everyone!!

Canadian Ring user since year dot, and member of the Ring Explorer/Testflight program. Helped with Ring App Development as an end usuer and with the the Ring Security sytem.

I persevered with the product since the early days of long and often problematic connection times, despite having very good wifi coverage throughout our home…I am pleased to see how far Ring has come and have helped many troubleshoot Ring product issues.

We have one Gen 1 Stick up cam and one Gen 2…both operating on solar, and two original Ring doorbells and a chime pro. I also use the Ring Security System. And will be adding pathlights shortly as I try that family of products.

My smart home is built on Smarthings (Samsung)…and its good to see the improved functionality there with regard to Ring doorbells and cameras being able to be viewed within the smartthings app. I bought an Alexa show for in home camera viewing, and would like to see that aspect available on Google Home :).

Best of the season to one and all…

Hi there, James (CrazyCanuck) from Toronto. New to Ring, looking forward to exploring the series of products.

Hi, I’ve wanted a ring for quite a while. We got one from our son for Christmas and he installed it this evening. Feel a lot safer.

Hi, I’m Genie and moved here from northern Michigan in 2014. I just got my Ring installed and am very happy to be able to monitor the activity at my door. I appreciate being able to communicate with the community to get a feel for what is happening in our area as far as security.

Are you talking about a camera or doorbell…if its the doorbell…and it works fine when off the mounting plate…make sure that the plate on the doorframe is not distorted…preventing proper contact with the doorbell. Good luck IrishM

Hi I’m Megan.
I got my Ring together battery charged and it worked until I mounted it. It’s not level and I didn’t add the backing plate for previous Ring devices = didn’t see it. Going to add it and cross my fingers.

I am Michele,

We live in north central Illinios in the country. We have special needs children and get lots of deliveries so I want to have pics of the drivers etc. We also live on a highway and sometimes people turn around in our lot so this will make me feel a little more prepared. Now I know when they arrive also. I bought the Rings on Amazon black friday along with 2 Show5’s so that we can see who is there without going to the door or windows. They work well so far. Thanks!!

Hello Neighbors. I’m JRR, a retired engineer who has escaped the cold NorthEast in favor of warmer weather in Florida. I’m quite new to Ring, having just installed a Ring Pro yesterday, but I have a lot of experience with mechanical and electronic things, and after a lot of research decided that Ring was the right option for me. So far it seems to be a correct judgement as my Pro is doing all I hoped do it would and nothing I hoped it wouldn’t do.

A fun fact - I got deeply into CB radio back in the days when “10-4 Good Buddy - catch you on the flip side” was actually a “thing” and actually sold and serviced radios. I was my own best customer …

Hey, I’m also in TO. How did you deal with the police/fire permits? I find the docs on Toronto PD site a bit odd to understand, seems we dont need one.
