Ring doorbell 2 with chime review.

Msrp 199 00 pcmag editors select and review products independently. And after several hours on the phone with ring support very nice very professional and no waiting time whatsoever they could not figure it out. The feature rich battery powered ring video doorbell 2 is ideal if you want a smart doorbell but don t want to mess with wiring. The ring chime requires an internet speed of 4 mbps for 1080p ring devices and 2 mbps for 720p ring devices for satisfactory service especially when there is need to change chime and volume settings.

I bought a ring doorbell pro and a ring chime and i ve spent 3 days trying to get the ring chime to work stay working. It sets out to be a louder wireless chime to improve the. Fine we also have that 2 4g wifi set up too at home. While talking to ring support they told me to turn my phone s bluetooth off and disconnect any wireless printers when setting up the chime.

It has options for both chime selection and volume control in the ring app. Although not available in the uk yet the ring video doorbell 2 has an alexa show skill which lets you view and listen to the live video stream. Ring is debuting its latest release the ring chime pro 49 99. Once installed the ring video doorbell 2 is a breeze to use.

It is better than the 2014 doorbell but this 100 second gen ring video doorbell retains the most annoying thing about the original you have to remove the entire doorbell to charge it. Basically this is more of a companion device for other ring doorbells. Doing that did allow me to get the chime connected and working. No go but i knew that it needs a 2 4g connection.

So i reconnected the ring chime pro doorbell to the 2 4g wifi then set up the ring chime pro extender to the 2 4g wifi. But bottom line the ring 2 doorbell syphoned away just enough electricity from my regular doorbell so that it was not enough to ring the mechanical chime just make a loud annoying buzzing sound.
