Takes some tweaking, but eventually worked as expected
I did a lot of research before buying the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. I knew was I was getting into, how it works, how to install it, and what people were saying about it before I bought it. Having done my research, the installation was pretty straightforward if you have some basic electrician skills. I had to upgrade my 35-year-old doorbell transformer in order to have enough power to run the Ring Pro. To get the motion sensing to work properly, I had to set the sensing area to just the area of my porch where I expected visitors to the home (avoiding the street and sidewalk), and maxed out the motion detection sensitivity. Yes, I get an alert whenever a cat or squirrel crosses my porch (see photos), but since I turn off my phone at night, it's not a nuisance. Ring does a poor job of explaining how their "Cloud storage" Protect plan works, but I figured it out eventually. I think the video doorbell will be most handy for being alerted of package deliveries (nobody seems to want to ring the doorbell these days). The idea that I can be thousands of miles from my home and see who or what is on my front porch and talk interactively with visitors (wanted or unwanted) is pretty cool.
