That will get you to Amazon Site.....

One day while I was out running an errand my ring app on my phone notified me that someone was ringing the doorbell. I don't always answer, but decided to. 

 The young man at my door seemed a bit 'off' and asked for "Nick".

 There's no one named Nick on my street... or in the small area where I live. I told him he had the wrong house and the guy left. 

 Few minutes later I could not shake that something was off, so I reviewed the entire video footage - Ring captures motion so I was able to see what he did prior to ringing the doorbell. 

 This guy was wearing a hoodie so he covered his hands, looked through my front door window for a good 5+ seconds, then started to check the door to see if perhaps it was open, before deciding to ring the doorbell... 

all with his hands covered. It was 70 degrees out. Once I answered, he seemed shocked and he quickly pulled up his hood.

I contacted the police and they filed a report. I shared my Ring video with them and they said it was the cleanest video they had seen in some time.

 Less than two weeks later a detective called me to let me know that the guy who came to my door was indeed looking to burglarize my home. 

He had been arrested and put in jail for other area burglaries. 

 The detective said that had I not answered the doorbell, my home would most certainly have been broken into that day.

I've had the ring doorbell since September 2016 and this was the first and only time something odd/suspicious was captured and, to say the least, it works!!!

Now onto some of the issues I've had:

1. Ring initially was recording very poorly and sometimes would not capture video properly if at all. I installed a high end wifi extender nearby and problems went away. 

Previously my wifi signal strength was about 40% at the doorbell location. Now it's close to 100%.
 

2. My Ring doorbell went offline and it took me who knows how long to realize it.

 The app has a health monitor - RING why are you not telling me that you're offline??? Why do I need to discover it for myself???? Getting it back online was a bit of a hassle also.

3. Angle. I now see some angled plates for sale but would have liked to have had those when I installed it. 

It's perpendicular to my door, which means I am not capturing as much motion as I would like. 

 Someone needs to be on my porch before it starts capturing motion. 

With an angled plate, I could catch them coming up my walkway instead, which is more useful.
4. Costs $30/year to maintain recordings.

 If I install additional devices, it's an additional $30 per device. Would have liked to get a price break.

Overall, great product. 

Not sure I've seen a better one on the market. 

As with any tech, there are always likely to be issues somewhere. 

Overall, I think this is a good product and well worth the peace of mind.
