Where are the deals on the better models? Would love a Pro 2 but would settle for a 3 or 4.

So without subscription, you can't review video recordings?
Only live notifications?

"Note: the doorbell will not sound your existing chime" so either to have to buy their chime add on, or you only get notifications on your phone

Yes, you need a Ring with a built-in battery in order for it to be able to sound your existing doorbell.

I used the link from the post and the bundles showed up in the Amazon app for me. Didn't have to add a separate thing to my cart or use another link. Hope this helps

Be sure to prepare a sign that you can place outside which tells the visitors to knock on the door in case the server is down. Big Grin

Wonder how many people like myself would have otherwise bought instantly at launch if not for this terrible design decision. This is literally the only smart doorbell by any manufacturer I've ever seen that purposely won't use your existing chime. The product managers in charge of that decision sure must've been smoking something.

Hold out for the Pro 2. Watch the comparison of Pro 2 vs 4 on Life Hackster You Tube. I was in the market for #4 as well.

you really don't need your existing chime if you get the echo dot and ring wired doorbell bundle because the echo dot it will act as a chime box with different chimes to choose from.

I just switched from a Ring doorbell to Nest. For those in the market, the Nest costs more upfront but you get more free features without any subscription. Without a subscription on Nest I can set activity zones, do person and package alerts, and you get 3 hours of video alert playback for free. Getting an alert that a package was left on my stoop is infinitely more useful than hearing the Nest Chime every time the bushes blow in the wind. I have "motion" alerts turned off completely and only get person and package alerts. The ring was motion only, no smart alerts, and only a still image in the alert history.
