Mostly good, but slow upon opening

For the most part, we like the app. It’s fairly easy to navigate. However, when you open the app, it takes a bit to load your options. If someone was breaking into my house and I wanted to set the alarm off immediately, I may not be able to in time. I wish they would fix this as it could be a big safety issue.

Easy Ring Cameras Setup

I have 10 Ring cameras around my property. Combination of floodlight and doorbell cameras. The setup is pretty simple and easy for any DIY

Not consistent

Camera comes up as not offline or not connected a lot. Doesn’t catch all activity.

Keeps disconnecting

Just that. Keeps disconnecting from phone. Annoying.
