Ring Door View Cam

GIORGIA GUANTARIO TAKES RING’S DOOR VIEW CAM FOR A SPIN AND REVEALS WHY ITS EASE OF INSTALLATION, GOOD VIDEO QUALITY AND MOTION SENSORS’ SETTINGS MAKE IT A STANDOUT IN THE SMART HOME SECURITY MARKET.

- Giorgia Guantario

Being a home renter, I have never actually looked into smart doorbells, as I doubt any of my landlords would’ve been delighted to know I drilled holes into the outside of their property.

Enter Ring’s newest addition to the market, the Ring Door View Cam – the first of its genre that will easily replace your peephole with a smart doorbell, no drilling involved whatsoever.

For the ones who are not familiar with smart doorbells, the Door View Cam will send a notification to your phone through the Ring app whenever someone knocks on your door, triggers its motion sensor (depending on the selected level of sensibility – more on that later) or rings the built-in doorbell. Through the app, you will then be able to see, listen or talk to whoever is outside your door.

The easy set up is arguably the best feature of this smart doorbell – so easy that it probably didn’t take me more than five minutes to complete (even though I did have to rely on Ring’s YouTube channel to walk me through some of the steps).

After fully charging the Door View Cam’s battery, using a very handy tool included in the box that can scrape away any paint and acts as a screwdriver, I was able to remove my flat’s peephole, something I didn’t even know was possible, in a matter of seconds.
