RE: Accessibility of Ring Video Doorbell V2

Hi;
Yes app is accessible. A sighted person will have to draw an area of focus 
where they want the camera to show so you don't get too much activation. The 
rest is accessible.

Hello,
My family have 2 iPhones running IOS 16.4.1 and we are considering installing a 
Ring Video Doorbell version 2. I am blind and so use VoiceOver on one of the 
iPhones. Is the Ring App accessible to the extent that I can adjust the 
settings, get alarms when the doorbell rings, and be able to talk to the person 
ringing the doorbell? Can I setup the doorbell to talk to both of our iPhones?I 
anticipate that the doorbell would connectto Many thanks for any help … Paul

Re: Accessibility of Ring Video Doorbell V2

[Yolanda Thompson]

So, ring keeps causing MAC users frustration because they say they
will not support MAC, then I think the last thing is the ring info can
be accessed via Safari.
However, on the iPhones it works well. Had to address some
inaccessibility in setup and so forth; however, last I heard they had
fixed this.

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

Can we get the ring video door cam working with Alexa and how?
Original message:

I have the Ring DoorView Cam, which is the model that replaces a peep-hole.
I find it works well, and the Ring app is very VoiceOver accessible. 
Like anything else, it takes a little practice, but I have no issues using it.

I am happy with it.

RE: Ring Video Doorbell

[Simon A Fogarty]

I currently don’t have or think I need one in my flat,
I live alone in a quiet neighbourhood,

But in two weeks time I’ll be living in a city that has a reputation for being 
one of the higher crime rates in NZ

What happens there depends on what I find in the way of accommodation.

Hi Simon and Karen,
Yes, I’m a bit like Simon and can’t be bothered with all this automation. 
However I agree with Karen  as security is very important and I think we are 
spoiled here in NZ as not that many people live in apartment buildings. It is 
becoming more common now days. I have a security screen on both my front door 
and the back door so I can open the main door without giving access to the 
person on the other side. Those video door bell monitors have another advantage 
as well. A friend of ours was visiting us for lunge the other day and he got an 
alert on his iPhone and noticed that someone was at his front door about 20klm 
away, lucky they weren’t trying to brake in but if they were at least he could 
inform the police.
I’m a male but I still wouldn’t open my security door without checking first. I 
think there should be some kind of standard and law that makes all of these 
apps for security systems accessible to all. All people should feel safe 
regardless of gender or abilities.

 having one where I can talk with the person before deciding to open the

Hi Simon and Karen,
Yes, I’m a bit like Simon and can’t be bothered with all this automation. 
However I agree with Karen  as security is very important and I think we are 
spoiled here in NZ as not that many people live in apartment buildings. It is 
becoming more common now days. I have a security screen on both my front door 
and the back door so I can open the main door without giving access to the 
person on the other side. Those video door bell monitors have another advantage 
as well. A friend of ours was visiting us for lunge the other day and he got an 
alert on his iPhone and noticed that someone was at his front door about 20klm 
away, lucky they weren’t trying to brake in but if they were at least he could 
inform the police.
I’m a male but I still wouldn’t open my security door without checking first. I 
think there should be some kind of standard and law that makes all of these 
apps for security systems accessible to all. All people should feel safe 
regardless of gender or abilities.

Hi

It may have improved but I’ve heard from other blind people that it’s not easy

The person in question found Google Nest Hello somewhat easier.

[Karen Lewellen]

chuck,
1, I use an American shell service to which i TELNET meaning that, even 
if the  Canadian government engaged in the practice you reference, which to 
my personal knowledge it does not, it would not impact my ability to reach 
the site.
2, the first link produced a 404 error, which means I reached the site 
itself, but the item did not appear.
3. your link below works just fine, although I am   personally unsure of 
the context relevance.

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

[Jonathan Cohn]

Personally, I would prefer using a system that complies with the Apple 
standards for privacy. For example, Ring shares feeds with several police 
departments and I am not sure if there is anyway of knowing if your police 
department participates. I have also heard from a neighbor that uses Ring that 
there is a “neighborhood watch” type of functionality where you can look at the 
pictures of neighbors Ring systems. I expect that is an opt in feature. There 
were also stories in the news this year about some systems being able to be 
completely taken control of remotely if the WiFi password gets compromised. 
Thank you, but I’ll stick with Apple  home ” certified security systems. There 
might be no illegal activity near my house, but I want control of my security 
system not Amazon or Google.
BTW, these security doors in New Zealand sound interesting.

Hi there,
You would suggest a 404 error page?
laughs.  No dog for me either, against the policy of my landlord as my 
single flat is above a business.  certainly a camera, even if not being

Intercom seems more than enough for me personally though.

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Karen,


Yes thats a good way to  go along with video cameras that the person at the 
door knows they are being videoed!
My Recording studio has  always had a good intercom to make sure who's at the 
door.
I might also a ad a large trained dog and a 
https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/taurus-judge®-model-4510-45-410-da-sa-revolver
Thats my advice!

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

[Petrus Tuerlings]

Hi Simon and Karen,
Yes, I’m a bit like Simon and can’t be bothered with all this automation. 
However I agree with Karen  as security is very important and I think we are 
spoiled here in NZ as not that many people live in apartment buildings. It is 
becoming more common now days. I have a security screen on both my front door 
and the back door so I can open the main door without giving access to the 
person on the other side. Those video door bell monitors have another advantage 
as well. A friend of ours was visiting us for lunge the other day and he got an 
alert on his iPhone and noticed that someone was at his front door about 20klm 
away, lucky they weren’t trying to brake in but if they were at least he could 
inform the police. 
I’m a male but I still wouldn’t open my security door without checking first. I 
think there should be some kind of standard and law that makes all of these 
apps for security systems accessible to all. All people should feel safe 
regardless of gender or abilities.

RE: Ring Video Doorbell

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Simon,
I cannot speak for others.  Nor have I yet to find a device of this nature 
that  works  as I desire.
Still, speaking personally, after three sex assaults, more than a few 
repair people staying silent after opening the door as you  describe, 
kids knocking and running away when I still lived in an apartment 
building,  and having to phone the authorities when someone decided to 
knock at 1:30 a. m...I would rather have a firm way of knowing  that the 
person on the other side of my door  is someone I wish to encounter.
To make this a tad lighter, I would like to know this before walking down 
the flight of stairs between me and my front door presently.
Yes I am a women living alone, and I realize you are not a women living 
alone.
Still, that is my take on why some might appreciate the extra technology 
layer.

Just speaking personally,
Kare

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Brad,
Is there a key command built in to the Ring DoorView Cam, app, to use the 
communication to the door ?
Thanks

Re: Ring Video Doorbell

[Brad Snyder]

I have the Ring DoorView Cam, which is the model that replaces a peep-hole.
I find it works well, and the Ring app is very VoiceOver accessible.  Like 
anything else, it takes a little practice, but I have no issues using it.
I am happy with it.

Why I thought of it because I found one I could mount in the peep hall, 
I will try find Google Nest Hello here, thanks.

Hi


It may have improved but I’ve heard from other blind people that it’s 
not easy to find the button to speak to whoever is at the door and was 
slow to respond. The person in question found Google Nest Hello 
somewhat easier.



I am of course talking about the apps.
