Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus | DIY Wireless Video Doorbell Camera with 1536p HD Video, Head-To-Toe View, Quick Release Battery Pack | Easy to install (5min)

I may change the review over time. ‘RIng Battery Video Doorbell Plus’ Purchased March 2026. I bought the battery version as it’s impossible to find reliable electricians around here to connect and test it to the already existing wires. It feels substantial and tough. Nicely manufactured. Well boxed. It took me an age to install the web side account plus apps, sooooo many phone codes to repeatedly enter as I have both an android phone plus an iPad to set up. At least adding other family members just requires me sending email invites. Sis and I adore this thing. The dogs think it’s great fun 🐕‍🦺🐕 too. It’s been a life changer as both of us have mobility issues. The communication ability with delivery people is fantastic, even if it’s just to tell them to leave stuff on the step. Age dependent deliveries are usually sorted out via the mike to give year of birth without needing to race (ahem, I mean crawl) downstairs. Clarity is amazing compared to our old blink system. Even at night. Notifications that somebody has triggered the camera is met with a cute jingle rather than a fog horn. Alexa and my iPad show videos while my fire tv video pauses automatically. I decided I’d pay for the extra functions after the free period as it’s not expensive. I love the AI, so that I can add recognisable faces. Occasionally it even recognises Amazon deliveries! It can be a bit slow. Often it only shows the rear end as delivery guys, who, after years or experience, know they can leave the stuff on our step, are walking out of the gate for example. Recharging is a nuisance because it needs its special screw driver, especially if you’ve issues with fingers. I only bought it in March and already needed to recharge. I’ve just ordered the solar charger for £40 in the hope that will help. Phew. I’ll shut up now hehe.

Just want to say how great this ring doorbell is and I purchased it at a brilliant price!! I wouldn’t be without it.. a little bit of peace of mind.. I have 3 batteries too so you have always got a replacement straight away!!! The camera is so good and allows you to cover a good size area for viewing.. highly recommended.. the plans are also very reasonable which is great for keeping footage for longer periods of time if needed.. can be paid at once or monthly cheapest being £4.99 and you get quite a lot covered for that ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To be fair, I am absolutly made up with this and what can do. Clear video of any caller, two way communication and video captures as alerts. But, fixing it with an angled mount was difficult. The screws that come with this are long with small cross heads. I persevered using grease, drilling small guide holes, and after a short while got them in to attatch the angled mount on my wooden door frame. In retrospect I should have gone to my garage and dug out shorter screws with bigger cross heads that would have done. But, the end result is absolutly great, and really it is. As well as convenience you get security as well. The electronic setup is very professional and satisfying. Very pleased indeed.

This was a replacement for the first gen ring doorbell that we had used for several years. This is a noticeable upgrade, the picture quality is excellent with a much wider field of view which covers the whole of our driveway. My one gripe with the gen one is that you had to remove the doorbell to charge, that's why I went for this one where you can just slide the battery out. But its still secured with a torq so that adds peace of mind. Easy to set up and use, and I have turned the sensitivity down slightly as it was picking up everyone walking their dogs and I'm not that nosey :) Its been out in all weather and still works after about a year, Our last one did really well until it just refused to charge one day. Hopefully we'll get many happy years out of this one too.

I love this bell. It’s loud and plays a nice tune, there is a choice.of noises. It’s so much fun watching people at the door. It can recognise people who come regularly and uses their name. You can get a basic service for £4.99 a month or a video storage and fancy stuff for £7.99 a month which is the one I’ve taken. The first month is free so you can make a decision about how much you want as gizmos. There is a further package at £15.99 that covers multiple cameras and doors inside and outside. Most people don’t need that level of security. It was easy to set up and linked to my phone and iPad no bother.

Bought a second one for the back door because the one I bought for the front door has been outstanding. Great resolution, even at night and the battery tends to last at least a month during cold temperatures. Motion detection is spot-on too and never had a problem connecting to it from far away, e.g. shopping in town. I bought an extra mounting plate with 3M sticky double-sided tape, so I don't have to use any screws, for both cameras. Held very well for the front door and that's been on there for months now. Very highly recommended.

This Ring doorbell is a total game-changer. The 1536p HD video is crystal clear—you can practically count the hairs on the postman’s moustache—and the head-to-toe view means I actually see the whole person (and the package at their feet). No more mystery “parcel left somewhere” hunts. Installation was laughably easy. Five minutes, one screwdriver, and a mild sense of accomplishment later, it was up and running. The quick-release battery pack is brilliant too—pop it out, charge it, pop it back in. No wrestling with wires, no cursing at confusing manuals. Motion alerts are fast and accurate, and the two-way talk is perfect for scaring off delivery people about to yeet my parcels over the gate. Plus, it looks sleek on the wall—like my house suddenly levelled up to “smart home” status. If you want peace of mind, crystal-clear video, and the joy of knowing exactly who rang your bell (and when), this is worth every penny.

Very good quality, comes with a good mounting bracket.
