If we needed to recharge the battery, we only had to remove the faceplate, press the release tab to take out the battery and then charge it with the micro-USB charger that was included in our box. And voila - our Ring Video Doorbell 3 was good to go. After following the on-screen instructions, we were ready to mount it up on our front door with the provided screws before clicking its faceplate into place. Next, we inserted the battery pack into the Ring Video Doorbell 3 before tapping on “Add Device” on the app. First things first, we downloaded the Ring - Always Home app on our phones. We went with the latter since we live in an apartment and don’t have an existing doorbell system. Like we mentioned earlier, installing the Ring Video Doorbell 3 could go two ways: hardwiring it to our existing doorbell setup or simply relying on the rechargeable quick-release battery pack.

Finally, at $199.99, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 isn’t the lowest priced doorbell camera from Ring, so it’s not the best option for someone on a super tight budget. Plus, storage wasn’t included so instead, we had to sign up for one of the Ring Protect plans. There’s no artificial intelligence feature where the camera can discern people from other moving objects such as the neighbor’s cat or passing cars, so did receive some false alarms, even with the motion zones.

However, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 wasn’t all positive.

Other core features that we liked included 1080p HD video, two-way audio, a 160-degree field of view, infrared night vision and an Alexa integration. This spared us the headache of false notifications whenever our Ring Video Doorbell 3 detected motion in areas we didn’t want to focus on, like the busy Brooklyn sidewalk and street in front of our building. We could also set up adjustable motion zones in areas just five to 15 feet in front of our apartment. What does this mean? We received notifications a lot faster than when we hooked up the video doorbell to the 2.4GHz network. One huge improvement from the Ring Video Doorbell 2 to 3 is that it works on a 5GHz network.
