Cabin Fever Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Does anyone use the Ring Security System? I'm looking into these, but would like to hear about some first hand experience with it first. Ring has some pretty good Black Friday deals, so if I'm going to purchase, I want to do it soon.

GreeneHunter Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I use Blink Camera's .... so far so good ! Only thing is you need WIFI for the Camera's to speak to the control module ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 @sodfather @Biz-R-OWorld use Ring I believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yes. I have one near my front door. I don’t use it as my doorbell, but just a camera. It’s great. I see every delivery dropped off, etc. I only have to charge the battery once every few months. Also it’s great for at any time you can click into the app for a live real time look. Nice to see weather at home etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I have heard the arlo cameras work well too. Totally wireless and can move them around when ever you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodfather Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yes I have it . It took me sometime to play with the setting cause it was going off every time a car drove past but it works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cachemoney Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I have two, a battery motion light/camera in the back yard and a wired floodlight/cam on the garage. They both work very well with a great picture and a wide picture that covers the whole yard. The batteries for the front camera last pretty well, usually two or three months between changes. If you suscribe to their monitoring system, your cameras are covered if anything happens to them. I had an issue with the front cam and the customer service was excellent. They both have microphones and speakers that allow two way communications and a pretty obnoxious siren in case of emergencies as well.

mlammerhirt Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I have an Arlo camera.....works great....and long battery life. Plan on adding a few more to the house now that the addition is down and we have a slider that goes directly into the house from the back yard covered porch.

Bigfoot 327 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 On of my sons has one in Big Flats. There is a feature where you can share videos (if you want to) with your neighborhood. Turns out that black bears are frequent visitors and often show up on videos. He even had one video of a very nice cinnamon phase bear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
