A dedicated security camera may be a better choice if you're looking for actual security, because you can position such a camera in more places. And when you get a motion alert, you can back up the video and see what happened before the alert came in. Ring video doorbells are all very easy to install. All of them, except the Video Doorbell Elite, can be self installed by anyone who possesses necessary DIY skills. They each take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to install. Ring Doorbells work on any home as they are available in both hardwired and battery operated versions. So, you don’t need a hard wired doorbell connection to install. Ring Doorbells are durable. They are all certified for outdoor use and operate in temperatures from 5 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. They all come with motion detection, night vision, and two way talk. One of the most significant negatives with the Ring Doorbells is the lackluster battery life.
