I would DEFINITELY recommend this RING camera!
So I had Imou for the longest time and have been paying a monthly fee for practically nothing because it never picked up and advised me of any details when I seriously needed them. I tried a RING camera at some point last year and for one reason or another it just did not work out so I returned it. This time, I decided to try an updated RING camera and THIS is exactly what I hoped for and needed. I absolutely adore the details of what this RING offers. I mean just look at my screenshots! I don't even have to have the motion detection setting on high to get the results I need because it's perfect. When it tells me there's "motion detection" without any details I know that it's because something like a tree branch or bird flying created a shadow or something like that. But when an actual person or vehicle is pulling up into my driveway this unit actually tells me that "there is a white vehicle pulling into your driveway" and "a person is walking up to your door". You can even see in one of my photos that this unit told me that a UPS truck was driving by. And I get these notifications as they're occurring, whereas the competitor would give me a notification AFTER a vehicle has already gone or when someone was already in the house Imou would say there's motion at your front door AFTER the person's already in my home. I could be robbed or murdered before Imou even mentioned somebody was here which is ridiculous. With RING, I'm getting these notifications as it's happening in real time, like it should!! The security of RING is undeniable the best. When someone actually uses the doorbell the communication sound quality is perfection and it's very difficult for me to use the word 'Perfection' on anything so that means a lot. Imou has it to where you have to push a button to speak and then push it again to hear what the other person is saying (SO STUPID) and the sound quality was horrible. But I have the complete opposite effect with this RING. I literally just click 1 single button to talk back and forth like being on a telephone. That brings me to another advantage. I absolutely love when someone actually pushes the button for the doorbell my phone actually rings as if it's a FaceTime phone call and I couldn't be happier to be able to communicate with somebody at my front door from the backyard or even my bedroom with perfect easy and sound. If I'm waiting for a package to be picked up (I ship merchandise out as I have a business out of my home) and somebody is at my front door when I'm in my backyard I can easily tell them from my phone I will be right there instead of trying to rush to the door before they give up and walk away. It was extremely easy to install and it's extremely easy to use. It is awesomely compatible with my Alexa. Alexa tells me that "a package has just been set on your table" or "A person is at your door". That is so helpful it's insane. The first time I heard Alexa say that, I laughed out loud with complete satisfaction. Value for the money?? CHECK!! The cat outside was ringing the doorbell and literally peaking into the actual camera lens, as you can see from my video and pictures. I've tried to get her to come in to get out of the hot Florida sun but she will not. She is perfectly comfortable being in my doorway where there is shade and I always refresh the water out there for the kitties. During the video of her ringing the doorbell she's actually pregnant and I had no idea. When she came back and rang the doorbell again I noticed her belly was way smaller and a little tiny orange baby hiding behind her as if to say "mama or are you sure about this". When I opened the door and gave them their flower dish and fresh water as you can see in my photo everything was blissful and I got to watch both Mommy and one of her babies eat and drink with comfort and then fall back asleep in the shaded doorway. Look at the screenshot with Imou and RING together and see the difference. I still have to figure out a few things, but I know that it won't be difficult for me. So I have already canceled my subscription with Imou and am about to begin my actual subscription with RING because my free trial is up tomorrow. I wanted to wait the entire 13 days of the free trial before doing an actual review so that I can play with it and test it and see what it's capable of and boy am I ready. So yes, now RING will be getting my monthly fee instead of Imou. Would I recommend this particular product to people? Oh absolutely YES!!Ver másVer menos
