The camera’s hardware and software both leave a lot to be desired.

Previously, Ring Video Doorbells took extra steps to install. Meanwhile, this one has a push-pin mount design and can be removed and replaced easily. So, you can use the included push pin tool to open up the cover to charge the battery. There won’t be a struggle to take it off the exterior wall to charge it up.
