Ring doorbell camera - counterproductive?

[R D S]

You ring the doorbell, nobody answers, a voice comes through the doorbell.....

So you guess they aren't in and burgle them?

or steal the camera in the door bell push!

[Brian Gaff]

No, as most can be used with or without the picture and be answered on the phone wherever it is. Treble I have with them is the appalling audio quality. Everyone sounds like a Klingon. Brian

[Adrian Caspersz]

Yup, techmoan on YT came to that conclusion.

So if you knock or ring on the door and nobody answers that means someone is in ?

[Peter Johnson]

Ring guarantee theirs against theft.

And how does ring stop people stealing them?

I guess they offer a "free" replacement upon theft but do they offer to refund the cost getting someone in to fit it or the cost of the damage when the thief used a crow bar to remove it quickly.
