If you are ready to move beyond the old peephole in your door as the only way to know who is on your doorstep, but you don’t want a complicated system with wiring and new holes in your door, then the Ring Doorbell 2 may be the answer for you. As you can guess, this is the second generation of an idea that has been getting a lot more popular lately: doorbell cameras, which are the 21st-century answer to the little looking-glass in the front door. The Ring Doorbell 2 gives you a lot more options and accessibility so that you can use the associated app to check in on your front door, wherever you are at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Flat product fee of $199 (shop it here). This is for DIY installation; if you want a tech to wire it for you (not hard to do; about 15 minutes) then expect another $120-180. If you want to use their cloud services expect another $7+\/mo depending on storage plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to others such as Ecobee3<\/a> this is a good deal and not something that you need to continually upgrade such as a smartphone. You can rank it to other top doorbell cameras here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ring Doorbell 2 works independently of any other security cameras or system you may have. It is activated by a motion sensor that detects movement in its field of view and when the doorbell is pressed. It records high quality 1080 pixel video of anyone at your door, letting you view the video on the associated app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
