Time for a refresh and this unit does the trick
on February 12, 2021
Posted by: dreamingofyesterday
Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced my original ring doorbell which I have had from when ring first got into the bell business.
The new cam provide a few features I was mising on the old unit, quick battery change, HD crisp video, much better nighttime vision, and the ability to tilt the bell toward the street.
Easy install, feel safer.

A very nice TV for our Bedroom
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: dreamingofyesterday
Verified Purchase:Yes
First I like the Samsung product line. I now have four Samsung TV’s along with other Samsung products.
I find it easier working with one vendor Best Buy and one manufacturer.
I do this because of overall quality, pricing, and long term maintenance and support.

The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.

Evaluation stage, so far good
on December 25, 2020
Posted by: dreamingofyesterday
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m still trying to learn what this device provides vs Cable TV. Small investment required to gain that knowledge first hand.
Ultimately I would like to dump cable TV and just stream but I need to make sure I fully understand the technology, options, and overall cost before I’m fully committed.
I have four TV’s and have Fire Sticks installed on two of the lesser used ones to save on Cable connection feed and to gain a better understanding.
So far good, no real problems with the fire stick itself. The menu is strange from what we are use to with Xfinity.

Chime lets you hear notifications anywhere in your home when someone pushes your doorbell or motion is detected. Plug it into standard wall outlets and connect Ring Chime to Ring doorbells and cameras in minutes. Customize the sound you hear with classic and seasonal tones or designate a quiet time by snoozing your alerts. Add Chimes throughout your home and never miss a visitor or alert. Plus, the sleek design blends right into any room.
 

Do the chime help your WiFi connection

It helps for the room you plug it in but I would not recommend that and expect whole house coverage.

How do you put it together

. Remove the unit from the box

. Take out the plastic white battery shield

. Remove the battery from the box

. Push the small finger tip button near the light on the unit

. The battery compartment can now be seen

. Inset the battery into the right battery hole, push down until it click

. Close the lid

. If done correctly the light will come on for a few seconds

. At this remove the battery from the unit and charge fully with the small cable that is included.

. When fully charge the battery light will turn color and then insert back in the unit.

. Now setup the unit using your computer or phone, would advise doing all the setup inside until you are ready to screw in outside.

Have fun and good luck

Worked fine and then said unresponsive. Did the reset on it only to get same message. What am I missing? Is this a cheap alternative that does not work?

I had a similar problem.

I put the Sengled app on my phone.

To get the bulb in setup mode turn the light on and off five times with a second/two in between.

Then using the Sengled app on my iPhone I was able to get Bluetooth established.

The light was now controllable via Olexa.

Do you have to have a smart home to use the light bulb features?

You do need an Alexa or some other similar device to communicate with the bulb.

How do I set up the light to my Alexa?

I found using the app on my iPhone easier than Olexa itself.
