Are they worth it?
I'm thinking of the Ring one but the success of them in purchaser's eyes seems to be very hit and miss. Some fit them and have a fabulous experience with them whilst others seem to have a nightmare, if not with the doorbell itself, with the nighttime image quality or the app.
I'm one of these (well, apparently here on MN we're all meant to fling our doors open to any random person who knocks or rings at any time of day or night) people who doesn't like unscheduled callers and wouldn't mind the convenience of the ability to see who's at the door before I open it (that's just good security). Plus, I like in a house with two flights of stairs - how I've not broken my neck running down like the clappers from my bedroom at the top in order to get down before the postman with his parcel or delivery man turns round and buggers off again, I shall never know. With something like the Ring doorbell I could say I hear you, I'm coming, and then walk down the stairs like a normal person!
Has anyone got experience of the Ring doorbell (thinking the 2) or any alternatives (which there are a couple from Asia which are much cheaper and don't necessarily seem much worse - let's be honest, it's not exactly ground-breaking technology so I don't understand why they have to be quite so expensive for what they are).
Any recommendations, or experiences with Ring?
