The Ring video doorbell notifies customers via their smartphones when someone is on their property and allows customers to see and speak with visitors at their front door even when they are not home.

The self-installed Ring video doorbell connects to the home's Wi-Fi network and sends real-time notifications to a smart phone or tablet when someone is at the door. Using the free Ring app, which is available for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 devices, customers can see an HD video stream of whoever is at their front door and speak to them using two-way audio. Ring's video doorbell can alert customers when someone presses the button on the doorbell or when motion is detected. Ring doorbells operate on battery power or can be powered through the home's existing doorbell wiring.
