Hey everyone, this is Anthony from Ring
and I'm here to answer your questions
about Ring Video Doorbells. You guys have the questions.
We have the answers.
Let's get into it.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- Great question.
I live in the video doorbell space every day,
so I'm super excited to share some knowledge with you guys.
We actually have a whole portfolio of doorbells.
We'll get into more depth later on.
But I think there's two main things that you need to know
when you're first considering video doorbells.
And they're actually related to each other.
The first is the power source that you want.
And the second is the installation type that you want to do.
So the first option is battery powered,
which is much simpler installation,
you don't have to worry
about any of the existing doorbell wiring.
If you wanna go the other option
which is hardwired into your existing doorbell,
it's a little more upfront time to set it up
but it's almost like a soft set it
and forget it once you're finished.
And so,
depending on the type of installation type you wanna do,
that'll help you choose the type of doorbell that you want.
Beyond that,
we have a few other doorbells for specific types of homes.
The first is if you have Power over Ethernet,
We have a doorbell for that.
If you have a peephole on your front door,
we have a doorbell for that as well.
But we realize every home is different
and that's why Ring has created a doorbell for every home.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- All right, so first we have the Ring Video Doorbell.
This is actually a refresh of our original video doorbell.
So it's pretty cool.
This doorbell is really good for anyone
who's trying to introduce themselves to Smart Home Security.
Just want to dip their toes into it
and understand what video doorbells are all about.
It's super easy to set up.
So if you're going the battery powered route,
the device actually has a built in rechargeable battery.
So you need to take off this device here
and you plug it into the USB charger right there.
Now if you want to go the wiring route
and hardwire to your existing doorbell,
you hardwire it to these screws right here,
right from your existing doorbell wiring.
Super simple, easy to do.
There's a lot of features and upgrades of the doorbell.
But I just wanna mention a few
that I think are worth calling out.
The first is the device has 1080p video quality,
which is actually an upgrade
from the 720p of the original Video Doorbell.
What that essentially means
is you're just going to get higher quality video,
more crisp,
more clear,
especially at night.
And yes, these things have night vision.
The second thing is there's motion zones.
So you can actually use the Ring App
and create these areas we call motion zones,
where you want to have alerts
if motion is detected in those areas.
And the third thing that's really cool
is that you can pair these doorbells
with Alexa devices like Echo Dots.
So if someone rings your doorbell or motion is triggered,
The Echo Dot will actually have an audio announcement
telling you that there's someone at the front door.
And I actually have Echo Show 5, which has the screen on it
so when people visit and I get an audio notification,
I can actually say, "Alexa show me the front door."
and the front door field of view
will show up on my Echo Show,
just like it would in the in the app.
Again this doorbell is great
for people that are just wanna test out home security
are new to it,
and wanna just do cool things
like check in on your front door,
anywhere in the world.
You wanna say hi the delivery person.
I actually recently ordered delivery to my home.
The delivery guy got there before I did.
So I just picked up my phone,
turned on the app,
and told them to leave it at the front door.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- All right, so next we have the Ring Video Doorbell 3,
and the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus.
And these two devices are near and dear to me.
I launched these two products.
They're like my babies, my twins if you will.
Sorry, dad joke.
These doorbells are great for anyone that wants to level up
from the Ring Video Doorbell.
And has all the same great features,
as the Ring Video Doorbell,
plus a few extra things.
One of them is Dual-Band Wi-Fi,
which essentially just means
you're gonna get the most reliable Wi-Fi connectivity,
which is important for these devices.
It also has a removable faceplate
that just pops off like this.
It comes in the box,
but we also have other colors available to purchase from.
You wanna match the front door
or the front of your house with different colors.
And along with this comes the quick release battery pack
that comes with the doorbell.
Makes charging super simple.
Tip for the battery users out there,
what I like to do is actually buy a second battery pack.
When you're running out of battery
you pop off the old battery,
pop this one in,
and you're good to go.
Now moving on to the fun stuff,
the difference between
Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Ring Video Doorbell 3 plus,
which is our best battery doorbell yet.
And if you look closely,
you'll see three small cameras right here.
And that's the main difference
between Video Doorbell 3 and3 Plus.
Those three little cameras power
we call our Pre- Roll technology.
And what is Pre- Roll?
Pre- Roll actually provide you a four second preview
of what happened before motion was detected.
Pretty cool, right?
So imagine you're seeing your regular video recording.
But instead of just the regular video,
you see the four seconds before it,
which is in black and white.
And why that's really awesome ,
is it gives you the full context
into what happened in the event.
So for example, you won't see the back of a visitor's head
or you won't miss the delivery person coming.
Why it's useful for me
is I actually have a long pathway
leading up to my door of my home,
and it's actually on the left side
Not in front of the pathway.
So I really only get motion alerts
when someone is right in front of the doorbell.
with Pre- Roll I can actually see the four seconds
that happened before that to give me the full context
and just give me more peace of mind.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- All right, so next we have a Ring Video Doorbell Pro,
which is our premium wired doorbell.
So with this one there's no battery option
you have to hardwire it to your existing doorbell system.
But with that comes non stop power
as some pretty cool features.
But what I want to first get into is the awesome design.
So as you see it's super small and sleek,
beautifully designed really has that nice look and feel.
And we've actually gotten a ton of feedback from people
that told us that they purchased the doorbell solely
on how it looks on their home.
So great compliment to the design of it.
So what I was referring to before
about nonstop power from wiring,
it gives you a few extra features
that battery doorbells don't have.
A few of these things are color night vision,
so battery doorbells,
have night vision
wire doorbells like the pro have color night vision
and also has advanced Pre- Roll,
which is a sort of a level up option
of the Pre- Roll feature
that's on Video Doorbell 3 Plus.
It also has customizable motion zones,
which are motion zones you can create in the Ring App
actually by drawing them with your finger.
What this really does is add extra customization
and get you the alerts that you care about most.
So I really think Ring Video Doorbell Pro
is perfect for people who want the best of the best.
If you're the type of person
that wants the best phone when they come out,
the best TV,
the best tech,
I really recommend Ring Video Doorbell Pro.
And if you're okay with that advanced DIY installation,
you're good to go and you'll have the best experience.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- All right, so next we have the Peephole Cam,
which actually I have in my home.
And I love the Peephole Cam for several reasons.
The first is that is battery only super easy,
you're not messing with any of the existing doorbell wiring.
Just take the battery here,
pop it in and pop it up to power super easy.
The second part and what makes it so awesome
is the installation.
So actually goes over your peephole.
which is pretty cool.
So you actually take your peephole out unscrew it,
which is really easy to take out
and then you put these two on either side of it.
So this is on the inside of your home, with the cover here,
and this goes on the outside of your home,
you'll see with the doorbell button right there.
And we made sure to preserve the actual peephole
so you can still look through it if you want.
And then we have this Privacy Shield to close that off.
So you have your privacy inside the home.
So initially created this for renters or people with HOAs.
I personally think it's great
for anyone that has a peephole over their door.
I live in a home and I have a Peephole Cam and I love it.
So the last feature that's really cool
and actually exclusive to the Peephole Cam
is what we call a Knock Detection.
So like I mentioned you install these parts of the doorbell
right onto the door itself.
So when someone knocks
it will actually feel what the sensors inside
and give you an alert.
So if someone happens
to not press the actual doorbell button
and they just knock and leave,
you'll get a motion alert,
so you know that someone visited.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- So next we have Ring Video Doorbell Elite,
and if you can tell anything about the name,
it is in the lead product.
It's our professional grade doorbell
and actually is powered by Power over Ethernet,
which is really cool POE.
So if you don't know what POE or Power over Ethernet is,
you probably don't have in your home,
it's okay, it's usually available in newer built homes.
But what makes it awesome
is you have a single connection right here
where the ethernet cable goes.
And that gives you power for the device
and internet connection
and you'll have nonstop of both.
So if you have Power over Ethernet set up in your home,
I highly recommend getting the Ring Video Doorbell Elite,
you'll get the best experience.
And unless you're an extremely advanced DIYer
you might need professional installation as well.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- So now let's talk about Ring Protect.
And what Ring Protect is it's an optional subscription
that you can purchase separately from the device.
And why it's awesome is it really maximizes
the capabilities of your doorbell.
Few really cool features.
The first one is that it saves video recordings
for up to 60 days.
So you can look at your past events.
And save and share all of these videos for up to 60 days
and save and share photos for up to seven days.
Another really cool feature
that I love and use all the time
is what we call Peephole Only Mode.
And what this does, it lets you get alerts only for people
that trigger motion alerts.
So you'll still get recordings of your pet,
or a car drives by,
or maybe someone riding by on a bike,
you'll still capture those recordings.
But you can just limit the actual alerts
you receive on your phone,
to ones that are triggered by people.
And that's really helpful
for getting the alerts that you care about most.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
- So there's two options for Ring Protect.
The first is basic, which is $3 a month or $30 a year.
And that's good for one device.
So if you just have the video doorbell basics the way to go.
But if you have maybe cameras or an alarm system,
we have our plus, which is good for unlimited devices,
it's $10 a month, or $100 for the year.
So if you have three or more devices
probably makes more sense to get the plus.
All right,
now that you know which doorbell is right for you.
