Ring Video Doorbell 4 AppGuide

Ring Video Doorbell 4 AppGuide - Diving into the world of smart home accessories beyond your usual lineup of smart speakers or displays is an exciting, costly proposition that can involve modifying your home to accommodate your new gadgets. It's not enough to just buy a bunch of hubs, bulbs, and cameras from your local Best Buy. They have to work together with whatever ecosystem you've found yourself in, especially as we're still months out from the launch of Matter.

Ring's Video Doorbell 4 aims to simplify at least one headache that comes with buying smart home gadgets: installation. Rather than relying on existing wiring alone, Ring offers flexibility: wire it directly into your existing system, or switch to the included rechargeable battery for easier placement. In theory, that should open it up to anyone willing to install a video doorbell on the front of their house, but as is becoming the norm, subscription costs might be enough to limit the audience for this camera.

Nothing about Ring's fourth-gen video doorbell hints it's a new product. Hold it up next to the original model from several years ago, and it's difficult to tell the difference. While there's certainly something to be said for brand recognition walk down any neighborhood in the US and it's easy to tell which houses have Ring doorbells I think it's a dated look that could do with some streamlining.

Instead, Ring has kept a sleeker look exclusive to its Pro models, while the standard Video Doorbells maintain a bulky exterior. Being able to swap out the garish two-tone silver look for a free face plate of your choice post-purchase — with dozens of colors to pick from — no doubt helps, but overall, I think it's high time for a new design. Nest's current-gen doorbells have their fair share of problems, but their appearance is far more modern.

The Ring Video Doorbell 4 makes installation easy no matter how your house or apartment is laid out. If you have an existing doorbell, you'll likely want to go the wired route it'll stay charged without worrying about taking the battery out. In my case, not only is my current doorbell busted, but the frame of my house wouldn't allow for Ring's bulky body to fit in the space anyway.

That's where the removable, rechargeable battery comes in. Thanks to this flexibility, you can drill and install the doorbell anywhere on your residence — like on shutters next to the door, in my case. Once I found a place to fit the camera, installation only took a few minutes. The removable battery cover is secured with a security screw that pairs with a bundled tool to pop the battery out. It's a smart design, though to keep the doorbell charged, you'll want to put that tool in a secure place.

Regardless of whether you use a wired connection to power your doorbell, the Ring Doorbell 4 does not support continuous monitoring. You’re limited to event recording only, though paid subscribers can activate a snapshot mode that captures photos every three minutes.

Ring estimates six months of battery life on a single charge when using default settings, but that will vary dramatically based on how many events it detects. After just five days in front of my house, my device was down to 90%. It's hard to say exactly the toll that the next few weeks will take on its charge, though I would expect it to fall far short of estimates. Based on current performance, I'll probably have to charge the doorbell once a month.
