RE: Iphone and security cameras or doorbells
Hi, Friends of mine use Ring successfully with VoiceOver. However, they did say that at one point there were accessibility problems. But the app was updated and they don't currently have any problems using it. Take care and be safe!

Both work quite well, I am curious what you find didn't work with the Ring app, I find it very accessible with Voiceover and haven't really found anything which is a problem. The nice thing with Ring is that if you have an Amazon Echo Show, the Alexa smart speaker with a display, you can connect them and once it's done all you have to say is "Alexa, how me the fron tdoor" provided you call your doorbell Front Door and a few seconds later a 2-way audio and video connection is established. I know the video may not be of use to you, but you can then freely speak to whoever might be there. In the iOS app you can set it up so that if you tap on the doorbell it instantly opens the life view as well although so far I noticed that by default the speaker and microphone are not enabled, I assume there might be a setting fgor this, but I haven't found it yet. In any case, both microphone and speaker buttons are clearly labelled and double tapping on them enable them. I hadn't really used Ring for quite some time since I had one of the original first generation doorbells and by now the battery was so bad on it that it always said live view was disabled and I had to first charge the battery even though it was also hard wired, but during the last Amazon Prime Days in October I couldn't resist the 50% discount on a Ring Pro doorbell and Echo Show 5 bundle for $199 Canadian, probably about $149 US and I just had my electrician install the doorbell. It's not difficult to do especially since I already had the oldone there, but I wanted to make sure my transformer which is over 20 years old provided the currect voltage so I thought I ask him to do it since he could easily read the manual and measure the voltage. I recently paid him over $20,000 to do the entire electrical wireing in my new store so he did this one for free and it only took him maybe 20 or 25 minutes.

Re: Iphone and security cameras or doorbells
I use a Wi-Fi doorbell camera from Amcrest that is fully accessible using Voice Over. I found it on Amazon for $99.
