One of a kind doorbell for its features
The Ring Elite the only video doorbell that can be connected to your internet Wi-Fi through an ethernet cable, giving you piece of mind for continuous connection and is also powered by the ethernet cable. Video quality is very good, and the camera captures a wide view. The detection is pretty instant with minimal delay. Additionally, this doorbell can be connected to a real chime. The app is nice, but you have to subscribe to obtain video clips. Although very expensive, it is a very good doorbell overall.

Review updated – Now it works flawless
I am updating my review from below because its not longer valid. I noticed my Ring Elite was updated to firmware version 1.8.21. Now I’m getting full high def video. It now works exactly as advertised. I’ll leave the old review just for edification. But as of 8/10/2017, the device works flawless.Old reviewI will start this by saying that I am a Network Engineer. In fact my specialty is Voice/Video over IP. My house has a very elaborate network inside of it that is of better quality than the average business network. I am providing an absolutely ideal network for this device to function within.A previous person complained about the ethernet jack being at the bottom and it being difficult to place this inside the junction box. I personally did notice the same when I installed mine. But I was able to get it in very easily. I certainly wouldnt knock any stars off for that. So why did I only give it two stars? Great question. Well most important is this thing is no where near 1080p. Maybe, just maybe the camera itself has a CCD that can do 1080p, but the stream coming off this unit is of exceptionally poor quality. When reviewed on my computer (or handheld) the video is very washed out and grainy. Being that I work with loads of video over ip products, I would compare this to a Cisco 9971 which runs at 320k using h.264 30fps.Second complaint is that it only rings the indoor chime about 50% of the time. I’m sure someone from Ring would love to say that its my wireless signal thats the problem. Negative. I have a Meraki MR32 sitting about 15 feet away from the chime. My Meraki portal says the signal strength is 28db. Thats more than adequate. I also hadnt mentioned this, but my Ring Elite is hard wired to my Cisco 3750G POE switch. So that is also not a wireless problem.Third complaint is they are not doing anything about firmware updates. I’m currently sitting at 1.7.22. I’ve seen a 1.8 and a 1.9 firmware come out. I asked tech support and was told that both of these firmwares had problems and had gotten pulled out of production. I’m glad they didnt break my device. But c’mon. When are you going to write a new firmware. I’d like to think that my complaints would be resolved with a new version.I’m giving it two stars because I wouldnt return the device. It rounds out my smart home design, and I dont know of a comparable product that is flush mount and poe. Its no where near worth the $500 price point. I personally think its worth maybe half that. (maybe). I also think the poe injector that is included should be an option buy as to lower the price of the unit. Why did you include a $100 injector if I dont need one. I would have appreciated paying $100 less.If Ring would like to reach out to me, please feel free. Considering I have the perfect test network I’d love to help you resolve your issues. I can offer pcaps and firewall logs to help isolate whatever is wrong. I originally attached a video to my review so you could see the video quality. But Amazon rejected my review.

Great product
I installed one for a friend, and I liked it so much I purchased one for myself. The unit was easy to install. I have to say that in both installs I had already prewired the house with cat 5. If you are going to start from scratch and do it right, there will be some attic time fishing a cat 5 down your wall. I install sound and video systems in churches and schools so I already own all the stuff to make it easy. The app works well with motion zones if you choose to turn on motion detection. I had read in reviews that there was some concern about the “bend” in the cat 5 close to the connector on the doorbell side. I did not have any issue with that and it was not a problem in my situation.I am very pleased with the final fit and finish of the elite unit. I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend, even knowing that I will be the one who gets to install it for them for free.

Elite over Pro
I had a lot of trouble with the Pro, simply because I needed outside power. That was with the transformer and resistor. Ultimately, with repeated tries, I left the digital doorbell on before another attempt at installation; and apparently fried the Pro.I bit the bullet and got the Elite. I’m somewhat of a geek, but the instructions were easy to follow. I ran the cable to the DSL WiFi router Ethernet outlet, with the power model plugged into the supplied Cat 5 cable. All worked just fine with a great picture, Ethernet connection and no WiFi to fool with. The digital doorbell was always close to the WiFi router, and linked to the Elite easily. Well worth the extra cost to me. Simple to install, and great video, etc. to see! The video is 160 degrees from the front door to street covering about 6 house lots.
