What are the Benefits of a Ring Doorbell?

Here are 7 benefits of having a Ring doorbell installed on your home:

1. You can answer the door from anywhere.
If someone rings your doorbell, you will not only hear the bell from inside the house, but you can also get a notification on your smartphone. This alert will take you to the Ring Doorbell app, where you will be able to see the visitor through a live video stream. The app allows you to speak to the visitor through the doorbell, meaning you can communicate either that you are not home or ask them who they are. When you’re at a Christmas party, the office, or with the family on Christmas Day, this is a must-have.

​

2. It means Secure Package Deliveries (Or Present deliveries).

Around the Christmas holidays, you will likely be getting a lot of deliveries, from presents to food. With a Ring doorbell installed, you won’t miss any packages and can easily avoid any valuable items being left on your porch. When the delivery driver rings the doorbell, you can either let them know a safe spot to leave the package, or you can even ask them to leave it just inside by unlocking the door through the app. That is if you are comfortable with this; otherwise, you can communicate where you would like the package to be left safely.

​

3. Ring doorbell accessories.

Not only can you get a ring doorbell, but you can also get ring accessories, from solar chargers to battery packs for the doorbell chimes and more. You can customise your package to get what you need to feel safe in your home. There are even floodlight and spotlight cameras that include not only HD video but also sirens that can be activated from anywhere if anything suspicious is detected on the camera.

​

4. Crime Deterrent.

A criminal will often look for the easiest property to rob: those that have no ring doorbell, no security cameras, or a lock system that is simple to break. The ring doorbell acts as a visual deterrent to criminals; they aim not to be caught when committing the crime or after, and a camera means their anonymity is gone.

5. Secures the Front Door.

The front door is the first point of entry to your home, and in recent studies, it was found that in the UK in 2021–2022, 70% of burglaries were started by the offender entering through the door. This is a high percentage, making it even more important for you to monitor. You can do this by installing a ring doorbell.

​

6. Suitable for all budgets.

Every budget and home can benefit from a ring doorbell. Of course, the cheaper ones have fewer features, but they all offer a live video view, two-way talk, and motion-activated notifications straight to your smartphone. Adding an extra layer of security to your home.

​

7. Reduces Insurance Cost

Insurance companies often offer reduced costs when a security system like the Ring doorbell is installed in the home. Smart home technology means your home is more secure, but it also means that if you do ever have a break-in, you have proof to back it up and give to the police for both the insurance and police report. In the current cost-of-living crisis and with Christmas approaching, having reduced home insurance costs is always a bonus. The ring doorbell essentially pays for itself!
