Ring Peephole Camera (Door View Cam) | 34–55mm door thickness (Recommended version) | Wireless Doorbell Security Camera with 1080p HD video, Wifi | 30-day free trial of Ring Subscription Plan

I am so glad that I bought this Ring View Door Cam, the picture is so clear and depending on background noise, the sound is excellent, the motion detection is awesome, my garden gate is 12ft approx. from my front door where my Ring Door View Cam is, if I set the motion detection two foot back from the gate, it will still detect movement outside of my garden, knock detection is adequate, but doesn't always work. A schedule can be put in place using the app, if there are certain times that you don't want to be notified of movement, the video quality can also be set to HDR, which does use more battery power, but I've not used it yet and I find the picture quality excellent, there is a motion frequency section in settings and you have 3 options, 1. Frequent - captures and notifies you about every movement (shortest battery life) 2. Standard - captures and notifies you about movement less often (standard battery life) 3. Light - captures and notifies you even less often (maximum battery life), I have mine set on standard, I've had it a little over a week and my battery is sitting at 87%, that battery useage includes playing around with it when I first got it, the battery, out of the box takes exactly 6 hours to get to a full charge. My door has raised panels on it, so is different thicknesses in different places, I neglected to measure the place where my peephole actually was, which is thinner than the requirements for the Ring Door View Cam, I've managed to make temporary adjustments for now, but I've been in contact with Ring on Facebook and made a couple of suggestions, they are really good, they're very responsive, they will always answer within a few hours and they said that they wil pass on my suggestions of either a shorter securing nut or a spacer panel for the back, on to their management team. I had a bit of a problem with the app in as much as I couldn't scan the installation code om the rear unit during setup, but you don't need it, you just put in your address and postcode and do it that way, I mentioned the problem with the app to Ring and they thanked me and said they would pass it on to the developers, it is very easy to set up. The app itself is very intuitive, it's easy to understand and to use, there are many settings to go through to enable you to to set it to your own requirements, be careful with the ribbon on the end of the cam when you put it through the peephole, as it's quite fragile, I didn't think that I'd need the spare ribbon that comes with the bell, but unfortunately, I did, fitting the spare one was fairly easy though, but again, be careful when handling it, I couldn't see spare ribbons in the Ring Shop on their website, so I asked them about it and they said that if I ever needed another one, just to let them know and they would send me one. I didn't purchase an extra Ring Door Chime as I didn't feel that I needed it, the ringer is in the outside unit, but it has a good volume to it, the app will also let you know by ringing when the doorbell is pressed and sounding a tone when there is motion outside your door, the sounds both for the doorbell and the notifications on the app, are customisable. So in summing up my review, I feel that the Ring Door View Cam is an excellent product, definitely worth the money. and in my own opinion, Ring Customer Service is second to none, I hope that this review helps people to come to a decision when purchasing their first or next door cam and if you're hesitatiing because of the price of £179, all I can say is, in todays world, what price security?

This was easy to fit and a great way to have a doorbell camera, without having to have it on the wall. Clear imagine and a great product.

So far so good! Had the Ring door view delivered on Amazon Prime next day. When it arrives it comes in a very nicely presented box with a Ring branded sleeve cover. Inside you get everything you need to setup and start working straight away. After downloading the ring app on my phone and creating an account it literally took minutes to install into my existing peephole with no issues. The install was quick and easy anyone could do it no drilling or wiring literally unscrew push in and tighten on . The install looks neat and very modern and also feels very secure. The motion detection and knocking feature has notified me instantly as expected so far with great notification responses and live view over WIFI or 4G on my phone. Battery life is what I expected, I get a very high number of notifications around 60 a day due motion alerts where I live. But the battery over the course of 6 days has lost around 26%. This I don’t think is bad considering I check every alert and live stream periodically through the day. Due to this reason I have purchased an extra battery to cover the times when this is charging, I’d estimate a full charge could last a month with a busy doorway easily. When I first got the device I charged it for a few hours before plugging it in (this was not a full charge) so had around 73% when installed. So I’d recommend leaving it in for the 5-6 hours it states online to get to 100% before first use. Overall this Ring door view seems to do everything that’s stated on the packaging as described! It’s a must for private renters like myself. With no drilling, I can easily remove the device and replace with the existing peephole if I were to move. It is a little on the expensive side but for the positives it brings I can’t really think of any negatives. On a note I do have a outside light so can’t comment on the night vision, but the daytime viewing looks very clear. Rather than buying a Ring chime product to hear the doorbell when press, i have linked it to my Echo Plus speaker. So for any doorbell presses or motion Alexa will alert me with a chime and voice notification. This paired with an Apple Watch notifications means I’ll never miss the door again! One thing that worried me was the though of the device being stolen, but if you have the Ring plan (£2.50 a month at the time of this review) you are covered. The device would save the video to the cloud if anything happened to the device and Ring will replace one device for free if stolen. And also I think if anyone tried to rip the doorbell off it would make the unit unusable for them as the battery and connector would stay on the inside of the home out of reach. The device is not as big and obtrusive as I originally anticipated, can’t complain as it’s a lot more sleek than the original Ring devices. Overall I’d defiantly recommend getting the Ring door view. It offers peace of mind knowing your front doors covered with cloud based recording with 24/7 viewing.

Dopo aver installato lo spioncino video Ring, la mia percezione della sicurezza domestica è decisamente migliorata. L'installazione è stata semplice e guidata passo dopo passo tramite l'app Ring, intuitiva e ben fatta. La qualità video è ottima, sia di giorno che di notte grazie alla visione notturna. Il sensore di movimento è preciso e le notifiche arrivano in tempo reale sullo smartphone, permettendomi di vedere chi si avvicina alla porta anche quando non sono in casa. Molto utile anche la funzione audio bidirezionale, che consente di parlare con i visitatori senza dover aprire la porta. Un altro punto a favore è la possibilità di salvare i video in cloud, utile in caso serva rivedere o conservare una registrazione. Nel complesso, un ottimo investimento per chi cerca un sistema di sorveglianza pratico ed efficace. Consigliato!

Worth it! Easy to install on the peep hole. Easily get the battery to charge. Just be sure you have spare batt, so you can charge while using the other. Just be aware of some community that doesn't allow to use it in UAE.

A Really good door camera! Sharp color image, wide field, recording option, suitable for a standard door peephole in Sweden, easy installation, can be shared with as many cellphones you need. I recommend this camera!

J’ai installé la Ring Door View Cam sur la porte de mon appartement (épaisseur conforme) et je l’utilise depuis plusieurs semaines ✅ Ce que j’ai aimé : Installation ultra simple et sans perçage : il suffit de retirer l’ancien judas, de glisser la caméra à la place, de glisser la batterie et de connecter au Wi‑Fi. En 10‑15 minutes c’est prêt. Pas besoin d’outils, pas de trace — idéal en location. Vidéo HD 1080p + large champ de vision : l’image est nette, assez large (champ horizontal 155°, vertical 90°) pour voir correctement qui se trouve devant la porte, même de biais. Vision de nuit + détection de mouvement et de coup à la porte : ça reste efficace même quand il fait sombre, et je suis informé dès qu’un facteur ou un livreur sonne. Audio bidirectionnel fluide : je peux parler à mon interlocuteur depuis mon téléphone — pratique pour donner des consignes au livreur ou vérifier l’identité de quelqu’un sans ouvrir. Compatible avec appartements / locations : puisque c’est sans fil, sans câblage, sans perçage — parfait si tu loues ou si tu veux un système facilement démontable. ⚠️ Ce que j’ai moins apprécié (ou à savoir) : Stockage des vidéos payant si tu veux les archives : sans abonnement, tu recevras les alertes et l’image en direct, mais l’historique complet nécessite un abonnement. Pas de détection intelligente (visage, animaux, colis) : la détection se base sur le mouvement ou le choc — ça fonctionne bien, mais ce n’est pas aussi “intelligent” que les modèles haut de gamme. Batterie à recharger régulièrement : la batterie est amovible et rechargeable — pratique, mais il faut penser à la recharger de temps en temps (cela dit, c’est standard pour ce type d’équipement). 💬 Conclusion : La Ring Door View Cam m’a offert exactement ce que je cherchais : un judas moderne, pratique, sans bricolage, qui apporte confort et sécurité à mon entrée. Elle transforme une simple porte en entrée “connectée” — je peux voir et parler à mes visiteurs depuis mon téléphone, même quand je suis absent. Ce n’est pas un système “pro” ultra avancé, mais pour la majorité des logements, c’est un excellent compromis. 🔩 Note finale : 4,4/5 — Très bon choix pour sécuriser une porte d’appartement sans prise de tête.

Da bei uns im Mietshaus häufiger mal die Eingangstür offen steht und Besucher direkt an der Haustür klingeln, habe ich nach einem Produkt gesucht, mit dem ich auch dort etwas mehr "Kontrolle" bekomme. Die Ring Doorview Cam schien mir hier die beste Option, da sie ohne Bohren installiert und auch im Falle eines Auszugs problemlos wieder abgebaut und mitgenommen werden kann. Die Installation ist - wie schon mehrfach hier beschrieben - kinderleicht. Mit dem mitgelieferten Tool wird zunächst der alte Türspion herausgeschraubt, anschließend wird die Außenseite der Doorview Cam hindurchgesteckt und mit der Innenseite verschraubt und der Akku eingesetzt - fertig. Neben der Glocke und der Kamera verfügt man selbstverständlich auch weiterhin über einen regulären Türspion, an der Innenseite hat die Ring auch einen kleinen Plastikschieber, mit dem dieser verschlossen werden kann. Die Einrichtung in der App ist ebenfalls in wenigen Minuten erfolgt, hier muss lediglich ein QR-Code, der sich in der Innenseite der abnehmbaren Rückwand befindet, gescant werden, anschließend wird die Doorview Cam automatisch mit dem heimischen WLAN verbunden. Nun gilt es nur noch die Benachrichtigungen am Smartphone zu konfigurieren, was dank der übersichtlichen App ebenfalls schnell von der Hand geht. Die Bildqualität in der Live-Ansicht ist absolut überzeugend, einzig der Grund, warum Ring hier eine Fischaugenlinse für die Kamera einsetzt, obwohl diese ja unabhängig vom eigentlichen Spion ist, ist mir nicht ganz klar, immerhin wird so aber ein breiter Bereich abgedeckt. Eingangstüren von gegenüberliegenden Wohnungen oder andere Bereiche, die man nicht überwachen möchte, kann man in der Live-Ansicht manuell schwärzen, um so auch die Privatsphäre der Nachbarn zu schützen. Die Benachrichtigung bei Aktivität an der Haustür (Läuten, Klopfen) funktionierte bei mir jederzeit zuverlässig und schnell, am Smartphone hat man dann die Möglichkeit zu schauen, wer vor der Tür steht und kann bei Bedarf auch wie bei einer Gegensprechanlage mit der Person zu reden. Abschließend noch ein paar Worte zum häufigsten Kritikpunkt, der monatlichen Abo-Option, dem Protect Plan: Grundsätzlich finde ich solche Modelle auch fragwürdig, allerdings wird sie einem bei Ring keinesfalls aufgezwungen. Die wichtigsten Funktionen, nämlich die Bewegungserkennung, die Live-Ansicht der Haustür sowie die Gegensprechanlage funktionieren ohne jegliches Abonnement, übrigens auch der Diebstahlschutz gilt in der kostenfreien Variante. Für die Option, Aufnahmen längerfristig speichern und abrufen zu können, verlangt Ring drei Euro im Monat oder (aktuell) 30 im Jahr. Meiner Meinung nach ist das ein fairer Preis, der in Ordnung geht, bei vielen anderen Anbietern gibt es gar keine Option unter zehn Euro monatlich. Unterm Strich ist die Ring für mich ein absolut gelungenes Produkt mit einigen wenigen kleinen Kritikpunkten (siehe Pro/Contra). Wenn ich könnte, würde ich 4,5 Sterne vergeben, da das nicht möglich ist und ich sehr zufrieden mit Kamera und Funktion bin, gebe ich die volle Punktzahl. Pro: - Sehr einfache Installation - Komfortable Einrichtung in der App - Viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten - Zuverlässige Benachrichtigungen - Akku hält sehr lange - Jederzeit problemlos wieder ausbaubar - Auch ohne Abo sind alle wichtigen Funktionen uneingeschränkt nutzbar Contra: - Gehäusematerial könnte für den aufgerufenen Preis etwas höherwertig ausfallen - Akku lädt sehr lange - Lautsprecher klingt etwas blechern
