So far so good. Audio quality seems to be greatly improved over the original Ring Pro, The "3d" motion sensing seems to have virtually eliminated all unwanted motion alerts and allows a larger motion zone height and width. For example I can include the sidewalk in the y-axis of my motion zone...

I'm well aware, thanks. I have piHole running in a Docker container on my NAS, and I'm pretty sure its using 1.1.1.1 and all DNS queries that piHole doesn't block should be routed through that. Will have to check to see if something in the router's config didn't get reset.

I'm not having problems like that, but I just checked and I'm using 75.75.75.75 which is Comcast's DNS. I could have sworn I changed that. Not that I trust Google's DNS any more than Comcast's as far as privacy goes.

If we had older phones or low-end phones, perhaps. But over the last 4 years or so, my wife and I have had Galaxy Note 8's, Note 10's and now Note 20 Ultra 5G's. We both experience the same issues and pretty much only with Ring, nothing else. It may be that later manufacturing runs of the Ring...

Thanks everyone for their input. I contacted Ring just out of curiosity to see what they had to say. Both my doorbells are way out of warranty but they offered me a 35% discount on their web site. So I ordered the new Ring Pro 2. With discount, it was $162 + free shipping. Can always send...

That's a good point. Ring ought to do that as well. If you establish an audio connection, obviously you want to communicate with whoever is standing there and at that point the audio should take priority.

That's the conclusion I came to as well. I don't do it often at house #1 but I can run a zoom meeting with many participants on my laptop over wifi and the audio and video quality is perfectly fine as well. More evidence that it's not a wifi/bandwidth issue. So if it isn't my network, then...

Thanks for the tips document. Don't want stand-alone cameras here though. The old house is becoming a vacation rental (i.e. airbnb) and we have to be sensitive to privacy issues. It's one thing to have a video doorbell, people are used to those, but I don't want to use a discrete camera. If...

How so? Same thing happens at two different houses. Different cable modems, different wifi routers. At house #1, Ring app reports signal strength of -49, voltage good, device health report lists no issues. There is minimal load on wifi. A couple of Alexa devices and a sprinkler...

It reacts pretty quickly. When the Ring doorbell senses motion, it fires off an Alexa routine which trips a virtual switch in Hubitat which runs a webcore routine which test various states and then sends an announcement back to selected Alexa devices using EchoSpeaks, and also changes the...

Thanks. I understand how all this works, buffering, etc. I generally have no complaints about video quality with these devices. There's no problem with the wifi (or cable modem) at either location. I have everything possible on wired connections, so my wifi is nowhere near capacity. In the...

I'd prefer not to have a PC at that location, although I'm not totally opposed to it and I do have a spare PC I could use for that purpose. I'm somewhat familiar with Blue Iris from when I had some old Amcrest cameras, but I haven't used it in many years. Is there a mobile app? Does it...

I have two Ring Pro doorbells on two different houses. First doorbell is 4 years old, one on newer house is almost 3 yrs old. I have never, ever been able to establish a connection to either doorbell before whoever pushed the button gave up and walked away. Same for motion alerts. We can...
