This is the real world application drawback for us. For sighted folks, it’s no big deal as they can just at a glance see in the notification screen capture or check the history if it was an Amazon or UPS driver doing a tuck and roll delivery which often it can be. Very rarely does anyone hang around after ringing the doorbell anymore
I’ve had a sign at my front door for years saying “no surveys, cermons or solicitations” which has thankfully cut down on most of the unwanted traffic to my doorbell. In practicle terms though, the Ring doesn’t really add that much to the blind user experience in my oppinion at least. Mainly for the reasons mentioned above. It’s still good to have should something shady were to ever go down and have a record of it. The most exciting thing we ever captured was I think a bird of prey totally annihilating a dove or some small bird on our front lawn in the early morning. Every blue moon I’ll still get a persistent solicitor or someone who wants to save my soul though and that’s when I appreciate having something like the Ring. Please read the sign. Thank you, but no. We’re not interested. Again, no. Dude… can’t you read? Please leave. I’m not opening the door. Beat it. Now. Lady, get lost. We’re not buying what you’re selling.

This would be a doorbell device that when pressed, your phone rings and you answer it like answering a call. I have an Amcrest Smart doorbell and the ap is so inconvenient that by the time I get through the screens to answer the doorbell, the person has left. the Amcrest was supposed to have a desktop version that I would be able to answer my door on my computer, but it is totally inaccessible.
