Far Better Than the Google Nest Hello – Super Fast and Reliable
I recently switched to the Ring Wired Video Doorbell Pro after using the Google Nest Hello, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. The Google Nest was painfully slow to load videos, and notifications were always delayed, even though I have a 500mb fiber connection. It was frustrating, especially when I needed to see who was at the door in real-time.The Ring Wired Video Doorbell Pro is a complete game changer. The video quality is incredible with its 1536p HD and head-to-toe view, so I can clearly see everything at my door, including packages on the ground. What impressed me most is the 3D motion detection – it’s super accurate and alerts me immediately, without any delay. It’s reassuring to know that I won’t miss anything important anymore.Installation was straightforward since it’s hardwired, and the Wi-Fi connection has been rock solid with no buffering or slowdowns. Notifications come through instantly, which is a huge relief after my experience with the Google Nest. The Ring Protect free trial is a nice bonus, and I’m already considering keeping the subscription because the additional features are worth it.Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and feature-packed video doorbell, the Ring Wired Video Doorbell Pro is a no-brainer. It’s miles ahead of the competition, and I highly recommend it.

excellent resolution compared to prev model, easy set up
Ring Doorbell Pro 2 (Plugin)======================We got this to replace our old first gen Ring Doorbell Pro Hardwired. Our orig installation was set up 5 yrs ago by a certified sparky, I took a punt seeing that I was still getting good voltage using a multimeter on it from the old Doorbell Pro 1 transformer, so decided to get the Plugin version and just use the new one with the old transformer. Having received the new doorbell I can see the only difference between the Hardwired and Plugin versions is that the first comes with a chunky transformer that needs mounting in a DIN rail or appropriate and the other includes the slimmer smaller transformer on a 3 pin plug with a long extension.The newer doorbell is approximately the same size, maybe a smidgen smaller in depth, and mounting holes in the same place. My original doorbell pro did not come with a wedge, so this was a nice addition – I just needed another two holes in the wall for the wedge, and I replaced old doorbell with the new one. It took less than ten minutes – the terminals in both new and old are unmarked and the manual says you can use either terminal for neg/live wire. To be safe I used the same order the leccy man put them in years ago. The security screw while being the same size has also changed its head – the new one uses the slightly larger one used in all the other cameras, whilst the old doorbell uses a tiny 1.3mm star design head. Both the old and new security screws still fit the new doorbell.In use, I was quite surprised by the change – the old doorbell’s view is oriented horizontally, but the new one is oriented vertically. We actually like the new orientation for our particular set up, but I can see others might find the older orientation preferable. Unfortunately you can’t change it, if you want to switch to the older orientation. With the new doorbell, in the phone app, you can actually zoom the camera view up to the sky and to the floor, so it’s better for checking deliveries left on the doorstep.A minor annoyance is with the desktop app – I have been using the Windows desktop app for years – we have one pc permanently on, and on one of the monitors the app is always fullscreened on a screen that’s in portrait orientation so provides a nice dashboard of all the cams. They have been saying the app was going to be switched off since 2020, but it still remains working – however the ring doorbell pro 2 does not appear on it, (by design – they don’t add any newer camera models), so we are stuck with the web app through a browser which whilst it has improved a lot since the old days, is still not as convenient or as good as the desktop app. The phone app is still the best method since it has the best ui (in both the android and ios Ring app), and for some reason the pictures looks way better on the phones Ring apps than they do in the Ring web app through a browser.The Alexa integration just magically worked by itself without any extra setup – after setting up the new doorbell under the Ring app with a slightly different name to the original doorbell, calling any of the Alexa shows in the house to “Show front doorbell” correctly picks up and displays the new doorbell. Quite impressed I didn’t have to faff about trying to add a new doorbell within the Alexa app. Maybe it auto registered with Alexa because we purchased from Amazon rather than Ring direct?Overall, I’ve grudgingly (steep on the wallet, a little hard to swallow) concluded the new resolution definitely makes the pictures look much better when viewed on the phone app. I bought the doorbell pro 2 on sale whilst it’s currently going for 169.99.The gamble over the years has paid off – the Ring cameras and doorbell have got better over the years with software and firmware updates. Towards the end of the first doorbell’s life though we had started getting a lag between pressing the doorbell and the indoor chimes playing it, repowering and resetting the doorbell would sometimes fix the problem, but it was getting worse so I guess it’s reaching towards the end of its life. The new one whilst still being in the same location as the old one and using the same transformer and wiring as the old one, does not seem to have this problem, I just hope the new one lasts as long if not longer than the old one. As a plus I now have a spare ‘camera’ – the old doorbell works just fine as a cam with the new plug in transformer.As with the first doorbell you get an email offering a free faceplate – I never bothered with the first one, which I regretted some years later when the faceplate got scratched during some building work., so it’s worth getting the extra faceplate, even if it’s the same colour as your existing , so that you have a spare should you ever need to replace it.The other minor annoyance is that checking the account details by logging into Ring through web browser, the account details has changed from Protect Plus Sub into a thirty day trial of it (after purchasing the doorbell pro 2), which is not a problem per say, but I still had 5 months left on this years subscription, so I will need to check to see when it switches back to the sub that it doesn’t lose any months already paid for.

J’avais le modelé Doorbell 2 et celui ci a empêché une effraction, j’en étais déjà satisfait , mais je voulais être sur qu’en cas d’absence je ne me retrouve pas sans batterie, j’ai donc opté pour le pro 2 en filaire et je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat.Je pensais aller plus vite pour l’installer et réutiliser les trous présent pour le précèdent mais celui ci est bien plus compact, l’installation est cependant facile en suivant les videos.Le pro 2 est beaucoup plus performant au niveau image tant au niveau champs de vision , qu’au niveau qualité , surtout dans le noir on l’on identifie mieux les visages. Le son et le wifi aussi sont améliorés.C’est vraiment un excellent produit que je recommande , je regrette juste d ena pas pouvoir visualiser mes flux sur les télé google , a cause de la compétition entre les produits Amazon et Google !

Para empezar, lo tengo puesto en mi puerta, en una comunidad de vecinos, y sin problema normativo alguno (si no quieres que te grabe, no vengas a pegar la oreja a mi puerta).Continuando, el cacharro es un inventazo. Las imágenes se ven súper nítidas, tiene un ángulo de visión extraordinario (aunque el que timbra se agache para esconderse o timbre un niño pequeño, lo capta) y la imagen es de mucha calidad y definición.Si eres nuevo en el ecosistema Ring, como era yo hace dos días, no te preocupes. Te explico las dudas que en un principio me surgieron a mí:1) El cacharro lo instalas cableado (recomiendo el cableado sobre el de batería porque aunque la instalación es algo más compleja, se instala y te olvidas de tener que andar cargándole la batería); viene con un adaptador para dicha instalación.2) El sonido que vas a oír cuando timbren, va a ser el que emite el propio cacharro. Para una casa de más de 40-50 m2 recomiendo pillar el “Ring Chime” que es como un amplificador de sonido, el cual puedes enchufarlo a mitad de la casa en el pasillo o en otro piso si vives en un chalet. Si no quieres que este dispositivo ocupe un enchufe, pues siempre puedes pelar los cables y conectarlo a la red.3) En cuanto a la visualización de imágenes, hay un mundo de posibilidades: puedes ver quién timbra o quién pasa por delante de tu casa tanto en el móvil como en la pantalla de un “Echo Hub” (que puedes anclarlo a la pared y que haga las veces de monitor) o un “Echo Show”, así como responder desde todos estos dispositivos. Para los que viven en una casa o chalet de varios pisos, puedes hasta configurarlo para que el cacharro responda automáticamente “espere un momento, ahora le atiendo” (y más automensajes) y así te de tiempo a bajar las escaleras y abrir la puerta.4) Puedes configurarlo con múltiples niveles de sensibilidad en cuanto a la detección de personas. Yo lo tengo configurado a lo mínimo imprescindible que considero adecuado para proteger mi propiedad, porque es tan infalible detectando personas que si le das mucho rango de acción, te puedes volver loco a base de notificaciones. Las notificaciones hay de dos tipos: cuando timbran al aparato y cuando detecta movimiento. Puedes tener activados los dos tipos o uno o ninguno (y ver a posteriori en la nube los eventos de detección y timbrado).5) El sonido también es regulable y viene con múltiples opciones de melodías.Como no iba a ser de otra manera, pues hay desventajas. En mi caso, el único pero que le pongo es que para almacenar los videos de cuando detecta a alguien que pasa por tu puerta o de quién ha timbrado, hay que suscribirse en la aplicación de Ring. No obstante, son 39,99 euros anuales; cualquier plataforma tipo Netflix, Disney o salir a comer o cenar un día ya supera con creces este importe, por lo que no me parece desorbitado teniendo en cuenta el efecto disuasorio y de seguridad que aporta al hogar un aparato como este.Seguramente, en un tiempo actualice de nuevo la reseña para contaros como va rindiendo, pero de momento estoy encantada y lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el panorama actual y la indefensión legislativa. De hecho les he comprado otro a mis padres para su casa 🙂
