Pros and cons

According to our Doorbell expert

  • Thanks to dual-band WiFi, the chance of internet connection issues is very small.
  • With a motion sensor of 1.5 to 9 meters, you'll receive a notification via the app, even in the dark.
  • You can set up the doorbell using the existing wiring as well as wirelessly.
  • You'll need a strong WiFi signal near your front door to use this doorbell, so consider getting a WiFi extender to create a strong WiFi network.
  • It's only possible to store and share footage if you also get a Ring Protect subscription.

Description

With the Ring Video Doorbell 3, you'll be in direct contact with people on your doorstep regardless of your location. You can place this smart doorbell wirelessly at the front door or connect it to the existing wiring. Do you use it wirelessly? Just easily remove the battery when it needs to be charged. When someone walks by or rings the doorbell, you'll receive a notification on your phone. You can communicate with visitors via the Ring app. The close-up motion sensor of the Ring 3 can be set up to 1.5m in front of your door. Since the doorbell uses dual-band WiFi, the signal fades less quickly than with other Ring doorbells. The Full HD image quality with night vision means you'll always see what goes on at your doorstep.

Note: you need a Ring Protect subscription if you want to view recorded footage or use person detection. This costs € 3,99 per month.

Can you install a Ring doorbell without a doorbell?

Physically installing up your Ring Video Doorbell 2 without an existing doorbell is a simple process. Scroll down for a step-by-step guide. Note: Set up your Ring Doorbell 2 in your Ring app before mounting it to your door.

Does the Ring 3 doorbell have to be hardwired?

Hardwired or battery-powered — your choice. If your current doorbell operates at a voltage between 8 and 24 volts AC, you can connect Ring Video Doorbell 3 to the existing wiring. Hardwiring this way keeps Ring's battery charged and allows it to trigger your existing chime when someone rings the bell.

How do you install a Ring Doorbell 3 without drilling?

The No-Drill Mount uses double-sided adhesive to attach the plate to your wall. Your doorbell can then be securely screwed into the mounting plate. Note: Be sure to install the No-Drill Mount first and make sure it's firmly attached before installing the wedge kit, corner kit, or doorbell.
