Ring Chime
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So, basically these Chimes ONLY work with the Ring Doorbell System, but NOT the Ring Security system. This makes this product essentially worthless in my opinion. I have both systems, and maybe I am crazy, but the Ring Doorbell system devices and the Ring Security system devices are apparently NOT always compatible with each other!?!? How is that even possible in 2020?? For example, if you want to hear a "chime" alert, if a door contact sensor is opened, it will ONLY play on either the Base Station (in my basement) or the Keypad (up by the Front door), but NOT on any Chime units?? Really?? What moron designed this product??? you can ONLY hear the doorbell on these Chime Units. Nothing else apparently, even though the system has other sounds related to the security system.\n\nSo, If you house has a second floor, and you need to know if a door is opened downstairs, then you can\'t hear the door contact sensor chimes, if you are too far away from either your Keypad, of from your Base Unit, unless they are very close to your location, unless the criminal rings the doorbell first apparently.\n\nI thought that would be the whole purpose for having a system where ALL devices are compatible and ALL work together, but apparently not. I\'ve never seen a product line with: one name; one app; and one website, BUT not all its products work with each other??? Unbelievable.\n\nSave your money, and buy another system.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I thought from reading the reviews from the previous versions that I could integrate this with Ring Security. THAT IS NOT THE CASE!\n\nI wanted to hear the chimes from doors opening/closing, etc that are audible from the security base station in another part of the house. This only integrates with Ring Cameras and Ring Doorbell.\n\nDisappointed as everything is in the same ecosystem.... lame. Don't bother with the new version as this is basically just a chime for the doorbell/cameras (which your phone does equally as well)."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I just got my ring chime today.I like it it cute and fits in with the living room decor.But I just have one con about it..Its not very loud I put it in the living room and the whole house cant hear it so I put it in the kitchen and you still cant really hear.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have this Chime integrated with my Ring doorbell, and replaced an older model Chime with this new one when the old one died. I was delighted to see that they had come out with a newer model, which I love because it sits flatter against the outlet, and doesn't take up nearly as much room as the old one. Functionally, this works just as nicely as the old one.\n\nTruly, I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews of this. The Ring website states that all Ring devices work with each other and can be linked together. If anyone is having trouble doing this, I suggest either reading their support documents or contacting Ring customer support."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Volume level is not good at all'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Does not with the ring alarm.

It will indicate\nmotion when there is no motion. How do I know. I have another security camera that looks across the porch towards the front door observing the same area from the side. When I review day or night Ring 2 motion alerts using the DVR or just switch quickly via a KVM to the cameras display and there is nothing there to cause a motion alert. The Ring2 is mounted over 50 feet from the street and there has been adjustment for steps and street distance. I have over 30 years of Principle Engineer level of Engineering and IT System Engineering experience and continue to be surprise this Phantom motion has not been addressed as a software patch or firmware upgrade. When you view any blog about the product Phantom Motion Detection is a major issue. Some people are just turning it off. I am fortunate in that my shrubs are the bush/hedge types and move very little in the wind. So, wind false alerts are not and issue. The Ring 2 has a motion detection design problem. That at appears Amazon is addressing with the Ring3. I don't want a Ring3 just update my Ring2 to resolve the Phantom Motion problem"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "This product is not worth the money.

You can choose from a variety of “chimes” or tones using the Ring app (it allows you to set different chimes, one for the doorbell and another chime if motion is detected by your doorbell). You can also adjust the volume of each chime within the Ring App. I have the volume set at about 60% and it’s more than loud enough in my smaller home. The design of the chime itself is nice and simple, and size wise it’s quite compact (about the same size as a standard US electrical outlet cover, and sticks out about 1” from the wall).'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I set this up in my DC-area 3 story townhouse, as I needed something to alert me when the doors were breached on the 1st floor. I almost did not buy this bc of reviews mentioning how this needed to be louder. Well, I set this up in the master bedroom with my air purifier/white noise generator, and even my propensity to sleep heavily, this thing is plenty loud enough to wake me up and give me time to act in the case of an intruder.\n\nSetup was simple.\nVolume was loud. I can hear it on the 1st floor despite it being installed in my bedroom with the door closed.\nIt has a bright blue light on it that I might cover with a sticker.\nIt does not cover both outlets.\n\nDid I mention that this thing has plenty of volume?'}]
