What do I need to think about with ring doorbell??

Been meaning to get one for ages mainly for the security deterrence rather than anything else.

Amazon have a great offer on the battery version, allegedly no subscription required which I’d prefer.

Anything I need to know about the subscription is it worth it? Is just a bog standard doorbell worth it or is there any argument for getting something more involved / expensive??

What did you wish you knew before you bought yours??

Not anxious at all generally so won’t care about the notifications it’s so any wrong uns think twice about burglaring us! It’s rechargeable I think rather than actual batteries but Ill check.

Assumed it would store limited footage without the subscription - that is annoying.

Wonder if there’s something that will do the deterrent without the monthly commitment.

I’ve got a memory stick in mine and just delete it all once in a while

Seconding Tapo, battery life is excellent as is visibility on camera and no subscription needed.
