Doorbell Deals & Offers

I have one to

A friend has one and she gets an alert on her phone when someone approaches the door. So its a good idea

I have the first version, it's actually pretty rubbish, as others have said by the time it shows up on your phone the person at the door has left. It's quite an amazing bit of marketing to persuade so many people to buy such a rubbish bit of kit for such an extortionate price, and then pay extra for the chime and the transformer.

Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding, XD

Bailiffs, doorstep sellers, TVL inspectors, JW, any other unwanted visitors.

Fair enough. My bad then. I was only going by the fact mine has been hammered with rain recently and is fine

No it is not. Even Ring say it’s not. In the description on Amazon it says ‘weather resistant’. In the Q & A’s in the same listing a customer asked if it was waterproof and Ring answered ‘no, it is resistant to rain’. They advise fitting them in a sheltered position

Don't be silly. Of course it's waterproof. (I have one)

Doesn't this just serve to show people you aren't in and judging by that palm tree in the background you aren't likely to be for some time? Maybe it's just me being a bit fick.

I have a question for the moderators : why do you accept people to put a price in the description and another one, a lower one in the price 'case' ?? This people are misleading becausr you don't tend to read all the title and the price pops up ...wow 2 pounds for the door bell, and then you see that is 89

Usually dispatched within 6 to 8 weeks

(lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol)

It means we can pop round to test his before we decide to purchase one.

The hardwiring trickle charges the battery,it’s not instead of the battery :D

Has anyone hardwired theirs? Mine is and just wondering if the battery should be removed. Presumably the battery isn't being used for anything.

I looked and you don’t need the £8 for the theft cover. As standard you’ll get one replacement. I imagine the £8 per month gets you unlimited

I think you're right, £8 a month for the one that includes theft protection. I'm sure someone on Amazon is selling some kind frame for the device you screw on the wall or maybe key release so you can take it off when needing to charge

Just fitted my ring now but battery low and cars are setting off the motion. I need to charge the battery and possibly change the angle as well for the motion sensor. I like the fact on my echo dot I can say show front door and shows, as long as I'm watching the Fire tv. But I think I need to get it hard wired if I can for Live View. Also If it get stolen you need to have the 8quid per month package to get another. Basic didn't say you get free replacement or I didn't see.

Might ask to view at argos tomorrow and check dimensions.Argos and Amazon could have it wrong I agree.

Surely those dimensions are wrong? The bell is not deeper than it is wide. They've got them mixed up I think.

What you think of this one? No sub fee .Only 2.4 cms width.HERE

Yep, too big for me too. Nearly ordered then thought "wait a second..."

Thank you very much. I'll give it a go.

Hi buddy, I’ve got an internal transformer and a wired doorbell. I literally turned off electrics to be safe but knew it would be ok anywhow. Connected the two wires to the back plate connectors then attached the doorbell after pairing to my ring mesh network or your own network using the app. Screwed it all together and did some testing.

Thank you and redduck for the reply. The YouTube installation videos seem to suggest either installing the provided transformer into the consumer unit (which may be too technical for me) or buying a plug in transformer (which looks messy). Does anyone know whether I need to do one of these with my existing hardwired system? Or do I simply switch off the mains and install the Ring doorbell on the front door using the wires from the current hardwired doorbell? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I bought one from Del Boy that plays all the countries anthems.

Easy matey! I didn't even use the instructions apart from working out the network connection. The installation was like a doorbell standard install - couple of cables

I was hoping it would work more efficiently, but its very laggy, and unless your wifi box is near the front door you will probably need the Chime Pro to boost the signal. I mean its ok, but hindsight I'd of chosen the flood light and camera over this now.

Hikvision cams and LED floodlights work very well. I really wanted a Nest Doorbell but they have issues...was looking at Ring as an interim solution.

I was looking at the pro, why aren’t you a fan?

Cold, as usually you can get a Ring Pro for this price

Why would anyone post the regular price as a deal!! I just don't get it! Type it in google and you can get it for £152 with one of the first search results that come up, that's without any research needed!! Cold!

Wrong

This will be cold due to peasants voting it down because "who pays that for a doorbell". Awesome bit of kit. Decent price. heat.

No, only for recording (basically, for their cloud). No subscription required to view who is ringing.

I prefer a bin bong personally (lol)

Also requires monthly subscription to their cloud service to view callers.

Managed to bag one of these and it arrived brand new, although notice the t & c’s on rings theft replacement state it doesn’t apply for third party amazon sellers.not sure if it was worth paying the extra now.

Yup, Ring 1 is AWFUL. You should have taken the free extender and flogged it on eBay (lol)

Guess what... It's going back. I can't believe how poor the image quality is. I called customer services and they tried to fob me off with a wireless extender. I don't even want to try the ring 2 now.

I wonder what world some live in with the idea the bell cuts down crime in the manner portrayed, where some smarmy ring user passes sarcastic comments. In reality I'd expect later repercussions from such comments.

Ring 2 you can. Ring support led me to believe it was my WiFi connection that was causing the issues with Ring 1. Even sent me a free Ring Chime Pro (which since the last update has refused to connect to my BT whole home discs). Just waiting for Nest to drop in price a bit and will be selling off my Ring 2 and using that towards the Nest one.

A subscription for this, then the subscription for razor blades, soap and now the newest one I have seen..... socks! https://www.londonsockcompany.com/sock-club/ Not somethign that I am going to be part of.

Not sure what difference a sign makes. Show me a shop that does not have CCTV... from newsagent to takeaway to department store, I daresay some olde worlde shop somewhere is not relying on them, but its a small minoroty! Your choice of camera free retailer is getting smaller every day. Even if they haven't got cameras, your face is being snapped most of the way there and back, and now more and more cars have dashcams too following you as you drive.

Not the same.... They have to tell us they are using cctv.... Do you have a sign next to your data harvester?

Imagine a world where every shop you go in has cctv that takes your facial recognition too.....and you go in and spend money too!!!crazy I know.

Buying at Robert Dyas would only support a fantastic local store and their staff. Nothing wrong with ordering at Ring but if you can buy it local then that would invariably help towards keeping the high street open...

They are matching the prices on Ring website

Amazon now own ring

its currys pc world selling it not ebay.. besides you have more rights as buyer these days on ebay.. youd be surprised..

So is this :/ and I'd take Amazon with their stellar customer service than eBay.

Not much of a deal... going for about £89 See below https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122939852563

Depending on what video resolution is shown on the box (some state 1080p, instead of 720p) it could be a 'shortcut' to getting a Ring 2 in exchange for this.

Guys, any update on UK install issues? I want one but keep reading about a lack of compatible transformers etc.

Can't see the 50% off yet?

They provided a transformer and mains powered chime in the box

At least with the Ring pro kit they give you the transformer and external chime. Why nest dont provide this is beyond me the cost of the thing.
