It would be nice to have an option to see what exactly triggered the motion sensor, i.e. “Motion Tagging” with a green box outlining what triggered the sensor or something.
I am often left wondering what exactly triggered the sensor, and subsequently how I need to adjust the sensitivity or move objects that are constantly triggering the sensor.
I have problems when on cell networks that aren’t in the city.
Since the video goes to the servers before my phone, i would love if you allow us to set lower quality video viewing from our cell network. I have alot of locations where i am unable to connect due to slower speeds. I get the notification but it fails to connect. My other apps work fine, but you don’t always need hd video to see who is at your door. Maybe you need to work on buffering, since youtube videos work.
It would be great if there were separate volume controls for the chime sound and speech coming from the doorbell. When there is a ring chime indoors, the the chime sound from the doorbell outside doesn’t need to be so loud that it can be heard half a block away.
Yes the chime volume can be reduced, but then speech coming from the doorbell is essentially inaudible. My experience is with the doorbell 2.
How about an feature where if there is no internet connection but the home network is available the products still work via LAN?
If my internet connection goes down due to provider issues, my Doorbell no longer rings to the Chime nor my phone. The home network is still funcitoning and the devices can still talk to eachother, but nothing works.
There is to some effect but its only on the Elite, that works using poe, no other db can or will i wouldnt have thought, it would be to expensive like the Elite
@Bashy, thanks for the response. Not sure why it isn’t available for any DB given they all connect to the network in order to get to the web. So it should not be too difficult to make them talk together over LAN/WiFi when internet is down but local network is available.
Chime and Chime Pro, minimally, should be able to interact with other ring products over local network as there is no driving reason for cloud access with those products.
Ring products are expensive bricks when there is no internet, which is problematic and unnecessary.
When I’m on the event history screen after I hear a motion chime, I know that I’m going to get a video in a minute or two, so I want to be able to refresh the screen (other apps have you swipe down to refresh) rather than exit the screen and go back. Very clunky as it is, and this is kind of basic interface stuff. thanks!
I would love a pause in recording feature for our Video Doorbell 2. We use ours at a vacation rental to confirm arrival of our guests and to make sure our occupancy rules are adhered to. After that, I don’t really need to record every coming/going of the current guests through the door which wastes battery life. Our VR is not nearby so a pause in recording feature would be most helpful in terms of not wasting batter as well as not blowing up my phone each time guests enter/exit.
We have this as a feature to our Stick-Up Cam so it should be an easy enhancement to the doorbell and will also create flow and continuity between Ring products. Thank you.
Very much need a way to easily TURN OFF the doorbell. Whenever someone works on the house or we have a social function, the motion alert goes off continually, draining the battery. Your instructions talk only about delving into the settings to do that.
I’ve started removing the battery, which is easier than messing with the settings but still a hassle.
My neighbor who is 15’ ft from us, sets off motion constantly. I can’t adust to avoid.
So when i’m home, I turn off motion zones by going to to app, then device, then settings, then device settings, then motion settings, then motion zones, then I shut all 3 zones off. Lots of steps, but I go fast. This way it won’t record any movement till you turn them on again. Should they give us an easier way, YES!
