One of the things I love about the Ring Video Doorbell 4 is its advanced features. The doorbell features a built-in rechargeable battery, making it easy to install without any wiring. It also has customizable motion detection, which allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensors to reduce false alerts. Plus, the doorbell is compatible with Alexa, which allows you to control the doorbell with your voice.
The Ring Video Doorbell 4 is also incredibly easy to install and use. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes, even for those who are not tech-savvy. Once installed, the doorbell works seamlessly with the Ring app, which provides access to all the features and settings of the doorbell.
Overall, I highly recommend the Ring Video Doorbell 4 to anyone looking for a reliable and advanced home security solution. The doorbell is easy to install, packed with features, and provides excellent video quality, making it an essential investment for anyone who values security and convenience.
Motion Zones: You can create motion zones that tell the camera to only record in the areas that you want it to. This is helpful for a busy road or sidewalk where you don’t want to be notified each time.
Battery: On normal settings, the battery lasted about 2 months in the middle of summer. To me it’s not the end of the world and charging the battery is easy. Yes, it takes a long time to charge (about 6 hours), but I’ll do this during a slow afternoon while sitting at home. I haven’t had an issue with it running out too quickly at all.
Live talk/video: This feature is great because you can look “live” at your camera at any time and communicate with anyone at your door.
Subscription: for $4 a month, it’s worth it.
I highly recommend making the investment into this camera. Easy installation, good battery life, and peace of mind.

Reviewed in Australia on December 4, 2022
The phone app is good, the battery life also good (about 2 weeks, with a fair bit of motion detection and recording), the process of replacing the battery straightforward, and the information available via the app and the recordings of the videos via the Protect Plan excellent. The design and physical installation were both good, and the range of faceplates met our needs in terms of blending in with the complex. It's very handy to be able to communicate with someone who arrives at the door when I'm not in, and the customisable motion zones and pre-roll features are noticeably useful (particularly the customisable motion zones, as the doorbell faces a busy street, so being able to cover the letterbox but not the road avoids a lot of car recordings).
Other than the upload speed/connection issues, other things that needed resolving during set-up (in case it helps anyone who bumps into similar):
- For whatever reason, the Chime Pro (2nd edition) doesn’t work with (at least my) ‘combined’ 2.4GHz and 5GHz wi-fi network – I needed to split it into two separate networks for it to hook up. When it was combined, it repeatedly (and incorrectly) gave the error that the password was incorrect (and the password was checked carefully, and was fine, and worked once the networks had been split).
- On a combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz wi-fi network, the Ring 4 video doorbell for some reason decided that it wanted to connect to the 5GHz signal (RSSIs from 72 to 78) rather than the 2.4GHz signal (RSSIs of 55-65, even without the Chime Pro).
Working around this was a bit fiddly (made moreso by some issues on my ISP's end - but that's not a doorbell issue), but once everything was set up, it works very well, and is a great product.
I bought a spare battery so I can charge once the first battery is flat. Easy to hammer up on to external house wall. Great to answer rings when away from home.
