Excerpt: We recently tested the Ring Battery Doorbell (2024), Venetian Bronze, and were impressed by its head-to-toe video capabilities. The live view feature kept us connected, allowing us to see and communicate with visitors in real time. The two-way talk was clear, making it practical for us to greet guests or deter intruders. Motion detection alerts arrived promptly, sending us detailed photos without overwhelming notifications. The sleek Venetian Bronze finish blended seamlessly with our home’s exterior. While the live view was useful, we found the motion alerts more reactive than proactive, but their accuracy was commendable. Overall, the doorbell’s balance of innovation and functionality made it a standout, though we’d love to see more customization in alert settings. Still, it’s a reliable choice for those prioritizing visibility and communication.
