  1. [R2] Ring 5/5 · US Ring Doorbell: As a traveling nurse, it is comforting to be able to check my home inside and out while on assignment. It is effective, clear viewing, notifies me with need to recharge, and keeps me in the know. I wish I had found you sooner. Thank you for a great product.
  2. [R6] Ring 3/5 · US Average: The part that annoys me the most is posting and sharing to notify neighbors what you’ve captured. I’ve constantly gone to post, and if you do not answer all the questions in the boxes the ring admins see fit they will not share your story. But there will be 2038 posts about a helicopter flying by. I also wish the cameras has a better lenses for capturing faces and license plates.
  3. [R11] Ring 5/5 · US Wonderful: I love my ring devices. I just wish I could find someone to properly wire them for me. But that’s not a ring issue My cameras have such beautiful definition and color. The connection is great. I don’t understand the negative comments. I bought the least expensive equipment because I am poor. I pay for the cheapest connection. The devices work perfectly. Five years now. I would hig
  4. [R20] Ring 5/5 · US Good product: It’s a good device to have as a security system specially for the front door you can talk and see the people that are at the door or coming to your door definitely recommend and very satisfied with the options you get to modify your preference.
  5. [R3] Ring 3/5 · US Used to be good: The Ring door bell used to be good. But then it got slow at detections and loading! We used to be able to click the notification when someone is detected and it load right up. Now….!? The person has already passed by or left once it finally loads. Worst thing is when someone rings the doorbell, it will not load!!! Very frustrating and very annoying!!!! Used to be good! -used to b
  6. [R4] Ring 1/5 · US Constantly offline: App updated and even before then the camera was constantly offline. I have incredible wifi and the router is top of the line. Seems no matter what we do it will stay online for about a day but if anything even the slightest happens the system requires jumping through hoops and doesn’t stay online. Highly suggest a different security camera. Plus the monthly subscription just is
  7. [R7] Ring 1/5 · US Bought original Ring camera. No longer detects motion: I’ve had the original Ring camera for years. But lately it’s been failing to detect motion activations. My neighbors house was broken into and the camera didn’t capture a single thing from the drive way next to it. I’ve had to add a backup camera from a different company since the Ring is no longer reliable. Just now my Farmers dog food order
  8. [R12] Ring 3/5 · US Not Reliable: It’s great when it works but goes offline frequently. We have upgraded the transformer which helped a little.
  9. [R13] Ring 1/5 · US You pay $65 to use this camera: If you are not willing yearly subscription, its useless.
  10. [R37] Ring 1/5 · US On the verge of cancelling and throwing away the equipment.: Great concept and horrible follow through. If security is your goal, then this is clearly not the platform to use. If your app isn’t up to date then you will randomly not receive notifications. The paid subscription will not allow 24 hour camera cottage review unless you have certain equipment. Otherwise you are relying on a motion event
  11. [R10] Ring 1/5 · US Security: I don’t like the neighbors app because if you post a video, you let everyone see your camera angle. That’s a huge security concern.
  12. [R18] Ring 3/5 · US Please get this to your Engineers.: The Ring app (version 5.107.0) crashes instantly on open with EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV in the iLOQLockCommunicationSDK.framework during dyld initialization. This started after earlier updates (around 5.99) and persists through multiple reinstalls, restarts, network resets, and the latest version. I’ve provided full crash logs to support. Other users report the s
  13. [R26] Ring 5/5 · US Best security system ever: I love my ring service and 5 star customer service.
  14. [R25] Ring 1/5 · US Extremely Unreliable!: Constantly shows as “offline” and have to trouble ALL THE TIME. The design is very faulty in which the camera is unstable and falls when you try to use the panoramic view, which makes it yet again unreliable. I want to like it but it’s the absolute worst.
  15. [R36] Ring 3/5 · US Solar panel replaced twice: 2 panels in 15 months, no tech support for a panel not seen by the spotlight camera
  16. [R66] Kemo Pro 3/5 · US Constant Issues: I don’t know if EVERYONE has this problem but….. My Doorbell & Other Cameras seem to stop recording Motion On its own?? I have to check my camera settings often because it seems to change settings by itself?? I have NO IDEA how or why it does it!! I don’t believe that I have it on any settings that would cause it to change on its own…..
  17. [R75] Kemo Pro 3/5 · US Delayed: Very delayed, doesn’t catch all moment. It’s ok for the moment but not as reliable of security as I thought
  18. [R91] Kemo Pro 2/5 · US Camera recording: The recording is hit or miss. Sometimes it isn’t recording when people are coming to or near my door.
  19. [R97] Kemo Pro 1/5 · US Doorbell Camera: I have had nothing but connection problems this year. My WiFi router is within 10-15 feet of the doorbell and it is constantly offline. This started happening more and more in 2026. Now it just stays offline.
  20. [R93] Kemo Pro 3/5 · US Frustrated: Can see videos but not unable to adjust TV screen settings?
  21. [R96] Kemo Pro 3/5 · US Changed names from Aiwit to Kemo Pro: The company name changed and they no longer have devices for purchase. Also, getting help is impossible. They keep suggesting I upgrade my account but with no support or devices available. It used to be Aiwit and I never had problems until recently. I use this to monitor a hallway and it is no longer notifying me of movement or people and it always did befor
  22. [R111] Kemo Pro 3/5 · GB Ok but out of date: Was ok - had free live view - cloud service - not any more sadly - have to pay for it all - not doing that
  23. [R114] Kemo Pro 3/5 · GB Door camera: Have had this door bell for a while now. To be fair good for the price. But since last update I’m unable to view “ live “ feed it just says subscribe now. Also the chat hasn’t answered as yet. Shame nice little camera.
