According to our doorbell expert
Note: You need a Ring Protect subscription to use all options, for example if you want to store and share footage. After a 30-day trial, the subscription costs € 3 per month.
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. 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. Thanks to the 2 fronts included, you can choose the appearance that suits you.

Installation ease

Immediately unpacked the package upon arrival. All necessary screws and even a screwdriver and spirit level are included. Then read the instructions. These are clear and easy to follow. The first thing I noticed is that the doorbell/camera looks very nice in design but is quite large.
There are several options when installing. There are 2 frames with which you can give the camera different angles. We used such a frame because the bell hangs in a niche close to a wall and therefore also captures a large part of the wall on camera. Keep in mind that if you attach the doorbell to a frame, you only need to screw two screws into your frame, but if you want to fix the doorbell directly, this must be done with four screws. We had done this in the first place, so we unnecessarily turned too many screw holes in the frame. Also, don't fix the bell with tape that is said to be possible. Even strong tape that could support 2 kg is not enough and eventually your bell will fall down. You also always have the option to connect the RING doorbell to the 12-volt mains. The installation continues smoothly. Unfortunately, after installation, the battery still needs to be fully charged before you can use the camera. After installing the battery, the camera is connected to the WiFi network. This goes smoothly and the lighting in the doorbell tells you what to do. The doorbell has now been connected for about two weeks and so far I like it fine. The app is also easy to use. All basic functions are clearly arranged on the home page and if you want to adjust more extensive things, you can press 1 of the basic buttons. I do find it a disadvantage that you have to purchase a subscription (3 euros per month) to be able to see your registration again. This is not mandatory and offers many additional options for reviewing, recording and sharing. This is another great advantage when it comes to securing your home. In the beginning I also had some difficulty with the privacy sensitivity of this product and the fact that I can follow conversations and images that are not intended for me but for my husband or children, for example. I myself have chosen not to look back on these images and to choose that I only receive a notification in any case when the doorbell actually rings and not when a cat walks through the garden or a car drives down the street. In short, a very nice product with a good price/quality ratio where you have everything under control. Magnificent!!

We had first bought another Smart doorbell. It was a disaster to install. This bell is a relief. Everything is so easy and everything works just fine. A bit more expensive and if you can continue to store the images, you have to pay 3 euros per month. Despite that, we think it's all worth it.
