This was introduced at CES last month. Taking pre-orders for April shipment. I've just ordered.

If it does what the blurb suggests it can, then I will be very happy.

Good in theory. WiFi range isn't good though (won't work 15m-20m away from the nearest access point in my place).

Mine's sat in a box unused at present...am just mulling over ways to push my signal a bit further out for it as when it works, it's very handy (tested it indoors).

Buy an extender!

Finally received mine today (factory delays etc). They shipped it with a free range extender due to the shipping delay.

Looking forward to seeing how it performs. Someone put up a pretty thorough review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6eOyC0RH-Y

Sorry forgot about this thread!

I am very happy with the device. I would definitely recommend it. The 2-way audio is clear and works wonders with deliveries when we're not in. The video is much better than I expected - infinitely better than the crappy Risco PIRs are. The light is decent enough, although we also have existing external lighting so I can't really comment.

I like knowing that if we're out and someone triggers the device, so long as I have either a 3/4g signal or wifi, I will get a an alert, which with 1-click turns into a video call, enabling me to quickly speak to whoever triggered the device, if need be. If no signal, I'll get the alert when I'm next in range. And it's all recorded.

I can change the area monitored. I can turn off alerting or schedule when to arm. I can add other Ring devices to the app.

Overall I am one happy customer.
