I personally like wired versions of such devices, but if you don’t live in a place where it gets really cold like it does up here in Northwestern British Columbia you are probably fine with a battery-powered model. Having said this, if you have a traditional doorbell right now chances are it would be a relatively simple thing to get a wired Ring doorbell hooked up. The app is fine but has a few issues, one is that if you switch to live view Voiceover speech moves to the Earpiece, makes it difficult to deal with and a situation where using a headset comes in handy. It also definitely takes practice if you want to be able to answer a doorbell press quickly enough so the persojn at your door hasn’t walked away. I always thought it must be an Apple limitation which doesn’t allow you to answer a Ring notification like a phone call evben from the lock screen where as soon as you tap on the notification it connects you to your doorbell.

Can anyone comment on the initial installation of the doorbell, accessibility of the app, usefulness with Alexa, etc.? If you have recommendations for a specific model, that would be great. We have only used the old fashioned type of doorbells, so are not yet familiar with these guys. Are there any major accessibility issues with the app?
