Ring Video Doorbell review

Like most other smart doorbells, Ring lets you see who's at your door and interact with your guests before letting them in. Unlike its competition, however, Ring doesn't require dedicated electrical wiring; instead, it can work off of rechargeable battery power. Since our test home doesn't have built-in doorbell wiring, we chose the wireless installation option. Unfortunately, despite the freedom it offered, we still didn't have a lot of placement options for the Ring. The former was too thin to serve as an adequate base, while the latter were too short to accommodate the Ring's entire length.
