Ring Doorbell Installation
There are several steps when installing the Ring Doorbell. You have to:
Create a Ring doorbell accountConnect doorbell to Ring appInstall doorbell(s) in desired location
Create Your Ring or Ring 2 Account
To get started on your Ring doorbell setup, just download the app on the App Store or on Google Play (the app is the same for both the Ring and Ring 2 doorbells). Once the app is installed and open, you will be prompted to create an account.
Connect Doorbell to Ring App
After you’ve create a Ring doorbell account, you must first connect the doorbell to the Ring app, then you can physically install the doorbell in the chosen location. Before you begin this process make sure your Ring/Ring 2 doorbell is fully charged with the provided USB cable.
Ring Doorbell Motion Sensor Setup
Once you’ve completed the physical installation, you then need to set up and optimize the sensors to ensure your Ring doorbell catches the right motion at the right time. If the sensors are not adjusted properly, the doorbell could be triggered by something as simple as a car passing by.
Share and Receive More Accurate Ring 2 Alerts for Your Neighborhood
In addition to keeping your front door safe and protecting your packages from theft and damage, Ring also allows you to be notified of any criminal activity in your area. From the Ring doorbell app, you can flag any suspicious persons or vehicles that are seen on your camera to be shared with your neighborhood. This means that anyone with a Ring or Ring 2 can capture information about porch pirates and other crimes and criminals and help create greater security for their whole area.
The Frequent setting notifies you about every motion detected with the shortest battery life. The Standard setting notifies you about some motions with average battery life. The Light setting notifies you about the fewest motions with the most extended battery life.
A recent feature is the Neighbors by Ring app, which allows Ring owners to receive information on crimes from their local police department and share information with other people in the neighborhood. You can even see a bird’s-eye view of your area, along with a radius of any reported crime and get notifications in real-time. The app has also been very helpful in the event of natural disasters, helping lost pets get home safely and giving law enforcement a valuable tool to fight crime. Ring has also partnered with local police departments in more than 400 areas across the United States, giving them access to Ring footage to help identify criminals or determine patterns of suspicious behavior.
