No Alert When Offline? Manual Resets?
We’re mostly happy with the Ring doorbell and app but we are frustrated by 2 critical issues that completely jeopardize the system’s usefulness. 1. The app does not notify you if the doorbell goes offline (for power or for network issues). So you are away and get no notifications and think no one has been at your front door but then learn that the system has been offline for days!! Really??!! No one thought to institute a “if The Ring doorbell hasn’t checked in with the network after x minutes, send an outage notification“?? I have free camera apps that do this. How can this not be a standard function in Ring? 2. How can you claim Ring provides any measure of security if some of the times it gets bumped off the network it requires unscrewing the Doorbell cover, resetting the doorbell, and running the reset function in the app that REQUIRES THE APP BE ON THE SAME NETWORK AS THE DOORBELL!!!!! ARRRGH!!! So you are away a few days, the power blips (which happens at least once a week in FL) and that’s it, no Rung doorbell. That is until we get home and go through the entire manual reset process requiring being logged into the same network. It’s utterly ridiculous. There doesn’t seem to be enough resilience built into the system to sort out blips and burps in power and networking to deal with those problems and get back online without interaction let alone a reset that requires I be physically present to do it!!! This needs work.
A lot of pros and one con
I am giving 5 stars because both my flood light cam and spot light cam work perfectly. No delay, sharp clear video, I can hear and speak through the device very well. I am 100% thrilled with these cameras at almost a year after installing them. They were easy to install. I am a 60 yr. old widow and it was easy to wire in the flood light cam. My spot light cam is the one that plugs into a outlet. I wonder if these work so much better than my Ring doorbell because my door bell is battery operated. I keep the doorbell charged up, and have the Ring extender chime, but the delay on the doorbell is frustrating. By the time the live feed kicks in the people who ring the bell are walking away. I imagine it is because it is battery operated. I wonder if the direct wired models are faster. This camera has caught someone up by my bay windows trying to decide what to do once he noticed it was a Ring doorbell and I was able to have my local police view the video with ease and a better description than I could see in the dark.
I wish Ring could discount their products for us older folks on a fixed income. I would love to get more camera or the security system, but I just can’t afford them. What I do have makes me feel safer than if I didn’t have them. Oh! The neighborhood part of the app. Is the best thing ever! Sharing info with the neighbors also makes me feel safer.
So delayed
I thought this ring product would help with seeing who’s coming in my property to deliver, guest coming over etc.. Oh yes, I can see partially who after the fact. What’s the point in having live viewing after a package has been delivered, guest after they walk away etc.. This now seems like a ploy to get people’s hard earned money for an iffy product.
More developer work needs attention to the quality and functionality of the doorbell etc.. Half the time the video will show dark or washed out when it starts playing then get clear a few seconds later and not revealing anything worth seeing. You make the commercials look great and inviting but in real life, it’s not as clear and real time as falsely advertised.
I will no longer encourage ANYONE to get these products until you all fix or come out with better quality products and fix the app. This review is for any and everyone considering Ring and that has Ring who’s experiencing multiple issues. By the way, I have read the instructions on how to use and maintain the app, spoke with Ring support, did troubleshooting steps and had the unit replaced. This and the replacement Ring was professionally installed.
Please attend to these issues if you expect to keep and remain getting new customers. In the meantime I’ll have to spend extra money on another product to see if it’ll do a better job. SMH

Did you just get a Google Home speaker for the holidays? This stubby little speaker is about to become your best friend. By yelling out 'OK Google!' you'll be able to set timers, play music, have it control a Chromecast connected to a TV, or tell you the phone number of the nearest Walgreens. Here's how to set it up.
1. Plug in your Google Home
Your Google Home plugs into the wall and, after a few minutes, will light up and start looking for your phone. There's no on/off button. It's always on when it's plugged in. Stay nearby with your phone.
2.Download the Google Home app from your phone's app store and open the app
Download from Google Play or the App Store. Accept the terms of service, and agree to turn on location permissions. Yes, Google's spying on you. By having the Google Home, you're all in. Might as well let it know where you are. Make sure you are connected to your home Wi-Fi network, as your phone will pass that information to the Google Home.
3.Sign in with a Google account
You'll need a Google account to use Google Home; preferably one with a gmail.com address. If you don't have one, now's the time to pop open your browser on your PC, go to Gmail.com, and set one up.
4.Don't allow email notifications
We don't need more spam. You're going to have to do this twice.
5. Tap the setup icon in the upper right-hand corner
Now, tap Sign In and set the location of your Google Home hardware. The speaker needs to do this so it can give you local weather and commute times.
6. Link your music service
Google Home supports four music services: Google Play Music, YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora. To get the most out of it, you need a Google Play Music or Spotify premium account. Those will let you request specific songs and albums. With the free services, you'll only be able to listen to themed stations or artist mixes. Google Home can't access your purchased or local music libraries.
7. Step through the tutorial
Now you'll get some tips on how to use the Google Home, and fun things to ask it. My daughter likes to ask it how to spell words when she's doing her homework.
8. Tap the left-hand menu button, then More Settings
Let's set up some of the optional features on the Google Home. You can get to them through the menu accessed by tapping the three-line icon in the upper left hand corner. Tap More settings to see the full list.
9. Change your news and My Day settings
When you say 'listen to the news' or 'tell me about my day,' you can get customized information from your Google Home. Tapping News, then Customize, lets you change your news sources—for instance, from NPR to Fox News. Tapping My Day lets you change a few options in the daily briefing.
10. Change what the Google Home calls you
Scroll all the way down and choose 'Personal Info,' then 'Nickname,' to change what Google Home calls you and how to pronounce it. Yes, you can have it call you 'Boss' or 'Colonel.'

11. Enter your commute locations
If you want the Google Home to give you accurate commute times, under 'Personal info,' choose 'Home & work locations.' Enter the address of your home and office. Then you can ask it 'how long is my commute?'
12. Add home electronics
Google Home is compatible with Philips Hue lightbulbs, Nest thermostats, Samsung SmartThings, and Chromecasts. Tap Home Control to add a new Nest, Hue or SmartThings device. For you to add or control these items, they all have to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
13. Add Chromecast devices
Google Home needs a Chromecast, or a Chromecast-compatible TV, to control your TV. Plug your Chromecast into the TV and switch to the appropriate input. When the Chromecast tells you on the TV to switch to the Google Home app, tap the 'devices' icon at the upper right-hand corner of the main screen to set up the Chromecast. You'll need to tie it to the same Google account used by your Google Home. You can then use your voice to control various music, video, and photo services, like 'OK Google, play Christmas music' via Spotify or Google Play Music or 'OK Google, play Stranger Things' via Netflix.

14. Control Google Home by voice and touch
Curious about what to ask? Look in your Google Home app. Tap the menu button on the upper left and choose 'What can you do?' for some suggestions. To change the volume, make a dialing motion on the top surface of the Google Home, or say, 'OK Google, volume ' and a number from one to 11. Have fun chatting with Google!
