The solution for someone that just needs a wall mount that broke on their Ring camera because of the 5 year old screw shouldn't be to give them a small discount to buy a BRAND NEW Ring camera. I just asked for another wall mount for a workable camera. A plastic 5 year old mount broke and their ONLY solution was for me to buy a new camera. I'm asking to purchase a part. That's like Delta saying, "Oh, the sprayer on your sink broke, sorry, we won't replace the sprayer, you need to replace the ENTIRE sink" Or Samsung saying, "The remote on your TV no longer works, you need to replace the ACTUAL TV". read more

Total garbage. Won't view, won't record live view, ghost "notifications" when nothing is there, delayed view upon notification. DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR JUNK read more

it's getting ridiculous at this point I feel like I'm being harassed to upgrade to the AI when all I have is a simple video doorbell and I have zero interest. First it was a so-called free trial that I never . Plus I had to opt out of for AI functionality set it out as an opt out not an opt in. Then they wouldn't turn the trial off I had to wait for it to expire. Then it finally did and now every time I up the gap I get a pop-up on top of everything prompting me a site that is super annoying. customer service was useless the first time and the now. they basically blame the customer and want them to reboot the whole thing redo the app and refuse to let you talk to a supervisor. Meanwhile the things they're suggesting as solutions would essentially turn off the whole set up or cause me hours of extra work doing and reformatting the app. THIS IS NOT OK! read more

Customer service is trash. I simply called in because my 82 old mother experienced fraud with her credit card and I wanted to add her service to my account. We were unable to access her email and I wanted to just add her as a shared user to my account. This went on for one full hour. I wanted to give them extra money and wound up canceling my account in the end. No one tried to help. No one offered a resolution. No one apologized. I am having everyone I know the word to cancel their services. Simply not worth the effort and there are to many other companies offering options. RING showed me my value. Kevin even offered to cancel it for me. read more

Ring was great they started-out MANY years ago. I'm a lOng-term Customer who has upgraded my cameras. At some point RING REMOVED my Spouse/Secondary Access. I HAVE TRIED EVVVVWRYTHING and cannot get spouse access back. I was even told I needed to " upgrade" my Ri ng Doorbell which is BULLSHYT as it was ALREADY UPGRADED! . I have have gone through EVERY OPTION. There is NO HELP... ZERO ... . VOID. ..NILCH NADA.... EMPTY... * * * Just save yourself 10 years and go with another camera system. *** read more

Ring was founded in 2013 and was called Doorbot. Amazon purchased the company in 2018. They offer smart home devices and home security; those are alarm systems, smart doorbells, and security cameras. I remember watching them on a show called Shark Tank. Growing up, we've never had such a thing and home security was not affordable for us. Fast forward to now, everyone has Ring or something similar. They even made it affordable for the general public. How did we live without it for so long? I love the security and seeing who is at my door without even opening it. It's not perfect but it does get the job done. Side note: I love crime shows so my paranoia is high. Think Night Stalker for instance..... If they had Ring, events could've been different. In my opinion, I think everyone should have Ring or something like it. Safety and peace of mind are priceless! read more

Easy install tethered to non-existent customer service and a monitoring subscription you can't turn off. After six months RING is a solution in search of a problem surveiling visiting relatives and the odd package delivery. However, the overwhelming number of YouTube videos showcasing drunk encounters at 4am remains highly entertaining. Two unnecessary stars. read more

Since 2019 I've purchased: 1 Ring Doorbell 2 3 Ring Battery Spot Light Cameras 3 Ring Solar Panels 2 Ring Chime WiFi Extenders 2 Ring Hard-wired Flood Light Cameras 1 Ring Doorbell Plus (RV Installation) I downloaded the App and installed all the Ring components myself and connected them to my WiFi - absolutely a simple process and not one issue since day one. Five Stars for: Customer Service Product Quality Packaging Product Support Warrenty Options My experience with Ring may be the exception but I don't think so, I found these products are a great value and they met all my expectations. I agree there are limitations how couldn't there be for the price, I see some of the disappointing reviews referenced - no zoom, no auto panning, no high-definition, no surveillance, password character restrictions, WiFi range restrictions, monitoring subscriptions, etc. duh of course. Before you buy you should know the limitations and what you have in place to operate the system just as you would for any application. As for me I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, so I'll continue ordering more of the Ring products... read more

See all

Very poorly run company and lackluster customer service. They are still selling products that can only run in tandem with a product ( the Ring bridge) they no longer make or sell. This is deceptive and I feel that after buying the step light, but can not use it as I intended, but should have been able to, I was duped. read more

Their customer service is horrible!! The lack of communication cost me lost videos which I need. I have sent their Subpeona department multiple requests and they haven't responded for over a month. Customer service says they have no way of contacting them. Videos keeps skipping. Leaving out important details. One minute vehicles aren't there the next minute they are and it is not showing any movement in between. Definitely looking to cancel my service with them. read more

When the "RING" Never Answers: A Consumer Warning I am writing this as a plea of concern to consumers who may be considering doing business with RING. What was supposed to bring security and peace of mind instead became months of frustration, financial loss, and unanswered calls. Ironically, when you need RING the most, no one seems to answer. On August 21, 2025, I placed a $790.79 order for security equipment for my small business, relying on RING's own sales representative to ensure the package was complete. I was encouraged to purchase what I was told was an all-inclusive setup. It wasn't. Four essential solar panels were never included, rendering the entire system useless from day one. What followed was a long and exhausting cycle of phone calls, transfers, broken promises, and dead ends. I spoke with representative after representative--each one offering a new explanation, a new excuse, or a new assurance that "everything is complete." It wasn't. The system could not be installed, powered, or used. A security system that cannot function offers no protection--only false reassurance. Over several months, I was promised expedited shipments, free replacement equipment, and supervisor follow-ups. None materialized. At one point, I was told the order had been "lost in the system" due to a website outage. Lost orders, lost records, lost accountability--yet somehow never lost time or money on my end. The irony deepened when I was offered a credit for RING's monthly monitoring service--monitoring equipment I did not have and could not install. A service credit for a service that cannot be used is not a resolution; it is a distraction. The consequences extended beyond inconvenience. I paid $1,091.99 for professional installation through OnTech, only for the technician to confirm what I already knew: the required equipment was missing. I was forced to cancel installation three separate times and ultimately request a refund. These delays and missteps were not mine--they were the direct result of RING's failure to deliver what was sold. As a senior citizen, a veteran, and a small business owner, this experience has been particularly disheartening. Security companies trade on trust. When that trust is broken, the damage goes far beyond a missed shipment. RING's customer service does not "ring true," their promises do not "ring hollow"--they simply never ring at all. My hope in sharing this is not retaliation, but warning. Consumers deserve clarity, competence, and accountability--especially when purchasing products meant to protect their livelihoods and safety. Based on my experience, RING repeatedly failed to deliver on all three. If you are considering doing business with RING, proceed with caution. When problems arise--and they do--you may find yourself calling, waiting, and listening... while no one answers the RING. read more

Two cameras that got stolen are now used again, that does not interest Ring at all. Since many years I will end using Ring now.

Ring installed cameras at my home this January, and after 1 month, one camera already failed. They replaced it, but refuse to install it, saying I have to pay someone myself to do so. Unbelievable, after all this money spent on cameras and subscription! I have to pay an electrician to reinstall their replacement after the original failed. Talk about a gross lack of accountability, after being a loyal repeat customer also. Disappointing! read more

The camera is good, but what is not good is that it only includes about a month of service; after that time you have to pay a monthly payment to have access to the service, and without the service, you still receive notifications but it doesn't record anything, and another thing is that it takes a few seconds to start recording. read more

HORRIBLE!! They took my money, gave me an estimated date of arrival. It never came. I didn't get an email with a tracking number so I called to find out when to expect it. It took half an hour for someone to finally come on and say it was out of stock and would come " sometime in a week." I told him if it was out of order they should have said that on the website and should not have taken my money and that once they realize that it was out of order, they should've updated me. I told him it was terrible customer service and I asked for an exact date when I can expect it and he could not give me that. I said well I'm moving this week. They told me a date of arrival, and I expected it to be here by then and if they can't tell me exactly when it's coming this week, then I need to cancel my order because I physically won't be at this address anymore. I never even got a tracking number. It all just feels so shady. It feels like a scam. I asked when I can expect my money back in my account so that I can go buy a similar product somewhere else and they said 5 to 7 days. so basically they took my money, weren't able to give me a product, and now they're not able to give me my money back for a week So I can't go and buy from a competitor. I told him I would like to speak to a manager because I would like my money to be expedited but there is no supervisor for me to speak to. I asked him for a reference number for this call and he says that that is for internal use only and they can't share that with me. I told him that I was not phone until he gave me some sort of confirmation of our conversation and asked if they would be sending me an email to confirm that I'm canceling my order and he said it would come in the next hour or two. I said we are not hanging up the phone until you send me that email. This is horrible customer service. The man told me that he will have a manager call me within the next 24 hours, but I'm not holding my breath at this point. i've never used them before so this was my first experience with and it was a terrible one. Zero stars. read more

I was just informed but a bill for double what I pay for this service that the professional monitoring that I got 7 years ago would cost 100% more than the original subscription. I am completely dissatisfied and I will be looking for a new alarm service. read more

they helped me not at all. They couldn't solve one of my problems. All I wanted to do is get a subscription and it was impossible.

Product has a reputation for being good but their customer service is horrendous. The customer service is outsourced to India and after several 2 to 3 HOUR calls trying to resolve issues, NOTHING was accomplished. Had I known, I never would have purchased this product. read more

I ordered a Ring bundle as well as several cameras and other items. I got all the extra items but not the bundle. When I called they said the bundle was not fulfillable as they did not have it in stock and would refund that portion. The bundle is still up for sale on their website but at a higher price and when I asked to speak to a supervisor they would not do so. Kept saying it was not fulfillable even when I told them the same bundle is still for sale on their website. I even put it in a cart to see if the order would be taken or not, and it would. RIPOFF SCAM! I am returning all the items that were delivered as without the brains in the bundle the rest is useless. They had better refund me or the BBB and any other place I can think of will hear about it. DO NOT BUY FROM RING! Unless you like being disappointed. Going to try Simply Safe and see if they can do better. read more

As a customer of 8 years with a Ring Doorbell and a Ring Stickup Camera, I have become very disenchanted with the quality of what I'm paying essentially $100 per year in subscription fees for. The Stickup Camera only captures video of people walking across the street from my condo, and essentially nothing within 50 feet. The capture time for both are terribly slow, and when I decided to non-renew my subscription when it comes up in February, it was not allowed. I could only cancel immediately, and end my service today. Not to worry, as soon as my new cameras are purchased and installed, I'll cancel then, instead of letting Ring have my business for another 90 days. read more

Doubled the price for monitoring. Went from 99 to 199. Their cameras are grainy, the software is bad, and the alerts go off constantly no matter how you try to customize. read more

Ever since the company changed their policy and plan. The people that have been grandfathered in for a long time had to be forced to change. It's a more expensive plan in order to keep getting what they've always got. If if you didn't, you'll be placed on a month. To month plan and they will reduce the quality. The images on they're cameras. Total scam. I will be replacing them soon. read more

First of all Ring is the best thing out there for security. I've had my ring doorbell/camara for 4 years. I also have the ring security cameras in front of my house and in back. It definitely is the best on the market in my opinion. Plus it's so easy to hook up. It comes with the App that you can see what's going with your phone. If your looking for a great price security system I highly recommend the RING read more

Ring used to be great. It had good customer service and was pretty self-explanatory to use. Now it simply doesn't work, and today I called customer service because I kept getting alerts because it's windy and the camera thinks people are at my door. I've tried turning them off, snoozing them, and after calling customer service she told me I needed to turn them to silent and turn off "rich" notifications. NOTHING WORKED. I'm still getting alerts that set off my dogs and make it impossible for me to work, and when I was telling her I need to find a way to turn off the alerts so I can work, she hung up on me. Not recommended. I'm going to look for a different system. read more

Ring definitely not worth it.. I had Ring for a year paid $215.95 for the premium plan two days after my subscription expired someone broke into my house while on vacation. I had issues resubscribing on the website so I called... was told yea you can resubscribe for 199.99 again($215 after taxes) but i wouldn't be able to access the footage of my home being broke into because it was deleted by Ring. Needless to say I definitely WILL NOT re subscribe to Ring..I'm taking my money & business back to Vivint. Never had any issues getting past recording with them and their customer service in my experience and opinion is much better and they actually have Americans answering their customer service lines! read more

Ring has a well deserved reputation for terrible service. They only get back to me if they think I am going to buy something.

Every ring camera that we've purchased has had to be replaced within months. Some cameras 2-3 times so far. Talking to the Indian customer service people is just awful. They will ask a question and just continue talking for another minute or two never giving you a chance to just answer. They talk and talk and talk and talk. I'm on the call with them for over an hour each time for something that could have been discussed in 15 minutes. I wish I'd NEVER purchased the alarm system and all of the cameras. It just sucks. read more

I ordered a RING Doorbell, 4 outdoor cameras and a safety sign 6 days ago. The order was not received and i did get an email from RING saying my order was delayed. I finally got through to the customer service line and it was a nightmare. My order did not show up on my account, my credit card was billed 5 days ago. The person did not have my email associated with my account for some reason. There accounting /web site is messed up. I was logged into my account during the phone call, and it said I didn't have an order pending, but RING did send me several emails. Then when I did talk to someone, they said my order was backordered for 4 to 5 more weeks. I ask why they charged my credit card the day after I created the order when they knew I wouldn't get my parts for 7 or more weeks. Then they told me that it would take 5 to 7 days to credit my credit card and to cancel my order. RING has some serious problems right now... There customer service could be the worst ever ranking, even lower than Microsoft, if there is anyway to go below the bottom ranking! I'm going to go to a different company to get my system, and I'm also telling my family not to purchase RING after all this. read more

If I could leave a zero I would . First the system said it had a 180 day free monitoring but was shut off after 30 days . When I realized they had shut it OFF. I logged in to find out that was BS . So I tried to pay for it in the app and when I typed in my debit card that I use every day multiple times at my business it said card number not valid. YES AFTER BEING SURE IT WAS CORRECT IT KEPT TELLING ME IT WASN'T . The I get on this wonderful wheel of AI chat and it just keeps sending me back to exactly the same place. Then I call , get some guy that clearly wasn't born with the name ROBERT. And while I'm on hold I get the pleasure of finding out that " ring will never ask your full card number over the phone " so yippee I can't talk to someone to pay over the phone. Then " ROBERT " insists there must be something wrong with my card !!!!! He tells me to just keep trying back on their app later ?????? So 30 minutes wasted not getting any service. Then I google leave a review . Google says you can leave a review on Rings website but that too was a LIE! Ring is garbage, they have ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE. They have no way of contacting and what made me feel the most wonderful about the experience is when I was actually speaking to someone it was clearly MY FAULT. read more

After installation and activation I purchased services that did absolutely nothing my ring alerts are not available for doorbell which can only be heard outside the footage drops or has missed video alerts can't be turned OFF when disarmed and continued to record activity plan offers no real support battery does not last and wifi buffering or disruption causes loss of servailance video videos are often unavailable immediately read more

Very unhappy with Ring Doorbell . I don't want to subscribe I just want to pay yearly and am told I need to get A Subscription so sad a buisness that want to make you not even give the customer a right to decide. Never again ring I want other people thinking about ring to know this read more

Ring is great. I've been a long time customer. App is very user friendly. My system consists of 8 cameras (doorbell included), alarm, smoke and co2 detection. Been loving it for years. Was very aware of the price increase to $19.99. Still very worth it. Had to recently make the plan change to Home Premium as everyone will only to be VERY disappointed. So the only feature that made it worth wild to me was the 24/7 recording option. But only TWO of my cameras are " compatible"?? What the shit?? My battery stick up cams aren't compatible? They are only TWO years old. My 2nd gen plug in cams aren't combatible either. This is VERY disappointing. I'm going to have to move cameras around now and buy two newer ones because there is 4 areas I'd like recorded 24/7. Now it gets worse... II wwas even more disappointed to see once I changed over to the mandatory home premium plan that it is another $10 a month on top of the $19.99 to monitor my alarm. Total after tax is over $32. So I'm now paying 3x's the amount that I was paying only a month ago and I can only use the ONE cool new feature to me on 2 of my 8 cameras. I have alot of money into my system. Just very disappointed in Ring right now. Of course I'm going to deal with it because I'm committed because my whole system is Ring and it would cost me a couple grand easy to switch to Google stuff or another brand. But dam Ring, this ain't cool. It's just a software thing, make it so all versions of cameras work. read more

The Ring Doorbell works, and you would never have an issue unless you move, need to add a user, merge an account or change basically anything aside from the original set up. Any other brand makes these changes easy, because life happens. At the very least you can call if you have trouble and they can merge accounts easily and probably anything else you want. Do yourself a favor, save the headache and go with Simply Safe or another brand. We tried their step by step transferring of a device, along with multiple calls and were told to wait 15 days each time. Well, 6 months later I am giving up and purchasing Simply Safe. Terrible customer service through it all. "Just wait 15 more days". No thanks. read more

Had very few issues with Ring until I went to order an additional camera to add to my system. I ordered a refurbished black stick-up camera, extra 10-foot cord and solar panel. I received tracking information and when I finally received the order, they had not sent the camera. I attempted to check thru their online portal and finally after being bounced from one area to another (an hour) I finally got a number to call. Everything that I had received up to that point had said, if your order is going to ship in more than one parcel, you will receive information that it is arriving that way. I made contact with them and was told that yes, I would receive in another package, but she didn't have any information on if they had it in stock and a possible shipment date. Not having a shipping date, I asked her for a credit for that part of the order and I would order a brand new one which I was sure they had in stock. After another 10 minutes on the phone, while she checked with "management" I was informed that they couldn't issue a refund because the order had already shipped. The only option for a refund would be if I received it and started a return on it (if I receive it). It would be nice if they don't have stuff in stock for them to not sell it. read more

Their customer service is not great. They billed me incorrectly. I had to call several times. When I first got the product, everything was fine. Then they moved their call center overseas and service went way down. I don't blame the people, they obviously didn't train them well. I know it's not an easy job, but I'm paying for it. read more

I paid $170.00 for a camera that lasted 5 weeks. It randomly picks up car that are 20 ft out of my monitored zones. Been fight with ring for almost 3 weeks now to get no where. They only have a couple things to check and the 35 people(yes that's right 35 people) that I have talked to none of them can fix it and they won't take it back because I bought from best buy. So beware stay away from ring cameras read more

1. Poor video quality. 2. No zoom in option 3. No cam. rotation 4. Not stable internet connection - cam. connection is often fail off 5. Parts are bad quality - as you can see on the image battery dangerously inflated, an explode soon and cause a fire 6. Not helpful customer service (exclusion: take payments) 7. Devour lots of internet traffic 8. Ridiculously complicated painful setup and re-connection As you can see there are 1 - 1,5 stars reviews on Ring products. Not recommend this product to friends and family members. read more

Ring - Security Systems Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Ring is convenient security at its best. All required to access and control an entire Ring Security System is a cell phone. And, the phone doesn't even have to be yours. Ring will confirm without a shadow of a doubt that you are the owner of that phone and thereby the system - by sending you a text code. This security company starts with a flaw in security which is what Ring is all about. If Ring was one hundred percent certain there was not one dishonest person on the face of this planet, it wouldn't be a flaw in security. The convenience of being able to view and control one's home from afar, or for that matter possibly anyone else doing so, is indeed convenient. Ring devices integrate easily with Alexa and Amazon makes it almost instantaneous to do so. It's a user friendly system regardless of who is using it. Ring should not be used as a stand alone security system, even with paid professional monitoring. If one has something worthwhile to be protecting then a more well rounded and secure security company/system should be in place along with Ring. Either that or skip Ring altogether and go right for the more well rounded and secure system. Depends on what your while is worth. read more

I guess I'll try the local number because the 800 number for customer service is useless - no humans pick up. I just wanted to know why the Ring app on my phone works fine but my password fails on my laptop. Could be my life's work trying to reach a human. Nice product - you can watch your packages, etc. being stolen while knowing police will do nothing. read more
