A Ring Camera

After three years of dealing with our front doorbell, I had had enough.  The original doorbell that came with the house never really worked correctly and there was no way to hook up a new wired one to it.  I had purchased two different wireless doorbells that were great at first, but both ended up going through a multitude of batteries and eventually stopped working.  When the newest one quit, I decided that I had had enough and started investigating a Ring camera doorbell.  After reading hundreds of positive reviews, I went to Lowe's to price the one that I wanted.  I was surprised by how inexpensive they were.  When we first moved to Ocala, a Ring product would have been well over $200 and now they were less than $100.  I figured that I had saved us at least that much in fixing our electrical outlets in the kitchen myself and went ahead and bought one.

I set the Ring camera up yesterday and have already been surprised by how much I like it.  It alerts me quickly when someone is at the door and I have easily been able to talk to them via the microphone.  It also alerts me when a package is dropped off, and I can look out my front door via the app to see what is happening even when no one is there.  I know with the new doorbell that I will feel safer when Doug is in Orlando or when we are traveling next week as well.  Overall, I have been impressed.  It is amazing to me how much technology has really improved over the last five years and after having the doorbell for a few days, I am very thankful for that.
