Great device
Don’t listen to the negative reviews. It was easy to connect to my SmartThings and setting up wifi is similar to google. When you connect to the network you have to disconnect your existing network and connect to the device with your phone or tablet. I was able to connect it through my existing hardwire doorbell and my existing doorbell ring worked as well. You just have to go through the ring app and turn that feature on. The video is clean, vivid and not choppy. I connected to my 5ghz network and the signal works just fine. I tested it multiple times with no issues. When someone rings the device my doorbell rings and my Amazon Alexa announces someone is at the front door. A banner popups up and on it and live view activates. The ring service is $30 a year. I also tried it through my fire tv and when asked show me the front door my TV screen went straight to live view. No app needed. Just remember to add the ring skill on your Alexa software and do a search for the device to add it. Once that’s done your set. I barely looked at the directions to set all this up.
