A video doorbell answers a simple question: who is at my door, and did my package arrive? For many Houston homeowners a Ring doorbell is the first smart device they install. It also happens to be one of the easiest to get wrong.
What a Ring video doorbell gives you
- Alerts when someone presses the button or when motion is detected, sent to the free Ring app on iOS and Android.
- Live video and two way talk from your phone, whether you are upstairs or across town.
- Recorded clips you can review later if you subscribe to Ring’s cloud recording plan.
- Package awareness. You know when a delivery arrives and can tell when someone walks up to your porch who should not be there.
What a professional install covers
The doorbell itself is simple. The work is everything around it:
- Wiring or battery. If your existing doorbell is wired, we can often reuse that wiring so you do not have to keep recharging a battery. If not, a battery model works, and a charge generally lasts several months depending on use.
- Mounting. Level, secure and sealed on your door frame, including brick, stucco or concrete, where special anchors are needed.
- Wi-Fi. Checking the signal at the front door and fixing it if it is weak.
- App and motion zones. Setting up your account and tuning what the camera watches, so you get alerts that matter and not one for every passing car.
- A walkthrough. We show you how to use it before we leave.
A typical doorbell install can be done in about an hour, depending on the wiring and the wall.
Reduce package theft
A visible camera and a doorbell that tells you the moment someone approaches is a deterrent on its own. Pair it with a clear view of the porch and you will have footage if something does go missing.
