We have never had an experience with our ring going offline. It’s always been very dependable.

Unreliable, not worth the money or effort

No matter how many times I’ve adjusted the scope, sensitivity, etc., this system either regularly misses events or triggers the motion sensor due to shadows — it's extremely rare for it to capture and alert me in a timely manner. Often, the app won’t let me change modes, and sometimes a message pops up saying the mode change failed. This has happened several times: the countdown times out and the alarm goes off while the app remains unresponsive, no matter how many times I exit and reopen it. Trying to view any of my cameras’ live feeds is extremely frustrating; if I try to watch a live feed for more than 30-60 seconds, I get a message saying there’s an issue with the feed, and that’s only if the app nanages to open the feed at all. Usually, the feed won’t open until I try multiple times over many minutes, by which point the event I wanted to see has already ended. This system is a waste of money and completely unreliable as a home security system. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone I know who needs a dependable system to keep their home safe.

Snapshots stopped working

AI support is unhelpful and a waste of time

App crashes

I upgraded phones from
The iPhone 13 to 16. Tried opening the Ring app and it constantly crashes upon clicking on the app. Not sure if the iOS is compatible with Ring. This is a bummer, because if I forgot my keys, I would use the app to unlock my apartment door
