The Ring doorbell has become extremely popular over the last few years as it's become obvious what a useful tool it can be to have a video feed attached to your doorbell. You can see who is at your door without getting up from where you're sitting — even if you're not home. Show
If you have a Ring doorbell, you'll know immediately whether that package you ordered has arrived, or whether it was just some door-to-door salesman who came in the middle of the day. The video feed activates whenever the camera senses motion, so someone doesn't even have to ring your doorbell for you to know they were there. Of course, with a video feed that activates so often, the Ring doorbell naturally requires a bit of power to keep it going. You can hardwire the doorbell to the power in your home, if you'd like — but if you'd rather not, you can always manually recharge the battery instead.

Each new doorbell comes with an orange cable, but any micro-USB will work just as well. 1. Unscrew the screw(s) at the bottom of the doorbell's mount to remove the Ring's faceplate.
