Anyone got one ?

Are the pictures clear - can you read number plates of vehicles on the road - can you see the faces  clearly of people walking past?

I'm happy with mine, good clear video that will certainly show readable number plates and identifiable faces.

No false alerts, the foxes, badgers, cats and moths don't set it off (they used to before numerous updates).

I'm not subscribed to the video function .

The pictures I'm getting from the live view aren't clear .

Any ideas of what the problem might be ?

 

No. How old is it? Is the lens clean?

The secret genius of modern life, series episode 4, available on iPlayer, explains all about the Ring Doorbell. Just finished watching last evening. Amazingly genius, might explain what yours is doing or not doing,  Bazile.

That should say series 3, ep 4

I found it fascinating that the TV was actually invented by Leon Theramin but supressed by Stalin!

Thanks

Does the doorbell get automatic updates ?

Just be aware of the privacy of a Ring doorbell.

It might make no difference to you, but it's good to know about it before buying rather than afterwards.

In particular, everything is stored by Amazon itself, for unknown purposes:

In March 2020, a BBC information request revealed that Ring keeps detailed records of people’s doorbell activity. Every doorbell press was logged. Each motion the camera detected was stored. And details were saved every time someone zoomed in on footage on their phone. In just 129 days, 4906 actions were recorded. (Ring says it does not sell people’s data.)
