Indeed. We installed our Ring Video Pro four years or so ago and haven’t messed with it since.
Regardless of which system you pick though, I think you’ll end up having the same issue. In large part, people just don’t’ really hang around after ringing the doorbell now a days since most things are so home delivery driven. Quick tuck and roll and poof. Gone like a fart in the wind. All in all, I at least have found the Ring to be less useful than I thought it would be. Not useless, but just not as useful.

I would like to find one that can be wired in rather than depending on batteries. The issue with battery operated devices is that some of them involve unscrewing little screws to get tat the batteries. Because of medical issues with my hands, I am not able to do that task independently, and it might be a couple days before I find someone who can help.

I really could care less about the video. Here is what I need it to do. When someone rings my doorbell, Ineed to hear the ring on my phone alexa, indoor speaker or whatever. I then need to be able to talk to the person who rang my bell to find out if I want to let them in. I would like the system to be wired so I don’t have to deal with changing batteries. I thought blink app was my answer. However, I have never been able to hear the doorbell on either my phone or alexa. Spoke with both amazon and blink tech suport and am quite discouraged. According to them, I have to enable video and will then only get a visual notification (picture) of someone at my door. Can anyone suggest something that will work for me? Or, if you know that blink is accessible, can u help me make it work? Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
