Ring Intercom Audio | Make Your Intercom Smarter | Audio Streaming, Virtual Keys & Remote Access | DIY Setup

I wish I had known about this item sooner. It was super easy to set up and connect to my relatively old intercom system. And it works a treat. Really easy to use and it’s life changing. One trick I really like is turning the sound on the intercom off so it doesn’t buzz when we have sleeping people in the flat (my partner works night shift) and means we can still answer and buzz people in. Really highly recommend. As I say really easy to install and the app was great at tracking you through it all

after looking at various online unboxing etc, I decided to grab one that is currently (as on 29/08/2024) £59.99 (40% off). I noticed unlike the online unboxing videos, I notice there's no longer three cables, and instead just one. it is however a flat ribbon cable (this doesn't bother me, but for those that it does bother, it might be worth getting some small flat trunking to clean it up a bit) installation is simple enough, the cables are coloured and labelled (c-1,c-2,c-3 etc) and as long as you have triple checked your model number of intercom, it's as simple as loosening the terminals and inserting the already prepared wire ends. For me I have a Videx system, and the 3011 handset came in three types on the app. as a 4-wire, 5-wire, and smart. no label on my handset told me what version it was but after looking and counting, I had 5 wires. the instructions for the 5-wire and smart versions were exactly the same so I went for it. Once done, everything works as it should, the intercom at the front door, operates the same as it did before, the handset inside operates as it did before, the bonus now is, your mobile goes off and allows you to talk/unlock. there is another use for these... there has been times when both myself and my partner have shot out the door to empty the bin and forgot the key. Even if either of us is away, I can remotely unlock the lobby door. device sticks to the wall well with no issues. some users here have reported the device throwing 'errors'. this might actually not be down to the device itself. I have noticed, it will throw an error if the door is presently in the process of unlocking (from another flat). For me though, it will solve my issue of various delivery people not delivering parcels. I will fit a sticker on my front door along with a 'ring logo' on my number on the intercom faceplate (I have permission to do so) gone will be the days where they use trades button, knock my front door, I don't hear it or not in and they wander off with parcel in hand saying I wasn't in. the sticker will instruct them to press my intercom. which will activate ring. all in all a good product and worth the money if you can get it with 40% off.

Being disabled I've long wanted to find a way to answer the building intercom and trigger the lock without having to get to the Entryphone. Changing the system was not an option as I'm in a block so when this released I jumped on the pre-order. It arrived today and took me about 20 minutes to install having already charged a spare battery. I'll review in parts Hardware. Simple unit with no exposed buttons, I liked that it had a peal and stick option but I used screws to mount. I comes with the main unit, a single battery, mini-usb charging cable, three cables sets (more on these later) and a screw driver. It is all nicely built. Personally I would prefer to just use AA batteries but with the intro package bundled with a spare battery I should always have one ready to go. Once this is installed you have very little integration with the hardware unless you are changing the battery. It all feels rather good quality. Until I pointed it out neither my wife nor kids noticed the edition despite using the intercom which I consider a win. Installation. Only took me about 15 minutes if that, 20 minutes for the complete set-up. You will need to attach cables into the screw blocks on your existing intercom. The unit ships with three different cables, only one of which you will need. The installation guild will ask your make/model of intercom. I knew the make but guessed the model when ordering. Once I opened the intercom the model number was printed on the PCB as the app guild said it would be. The cables are very clearly marked and the instructions had the exact same markings as terminals inside my Entryphone. Everything worked first time no issues and I installed on release day so 10/10 Ring App, This is the only down side for me. This is my first Ring device and I do not like the app. The home screen fills the top slot advertising other ring devices and the screen is very messy seeing I only have a single device. Answering and speaking works well, About a 2 second delay from the buzzer being pressed which I think is expectable. Unlocking the door in not so good. You need to hold down the unlock button for about 5 seconds, this then opens a new overlay which you have to then again click unlock on. The whole process takes about 10+ seconds before the activates. Does not seem like a lot but your visitor will be trying the door long before its unlocked and you will have to tell them to try again when it finally activates. Really need to get rid of the second screen which is a repeat of the first and the need to hold the unlock for 3 seconds before it will move forward. Again it is day one so I hope this will improve with feedback. I will be using Alexa which seems faster All told I'm very happy to have a solution to 50 year hardware in my building

Perfect

Super produit qui change la vie. Je l'ai installé dans ma maison pour pouvoir ouvrir le portail à distance lors de livraisons de colis. L’installation est plutot simple. L'interphone marche avec la plupart des interphones et la connexion via l’app Ring est intuitive. La qualité audio est correcte, suffisante pour communiquer avec les visiteurs même si parfois on détecte une légère latence selon la qualité du WiFi. La batterie tient environ 5 mois. A noter, l'appli de l'interphone n'est pas toujours très intuitive. Malgré cela, vu le rapport qualité prix, c’est un achat que je conseille.

Ring Intercom è un dispositivo estremamente pratico e innovativo, ideale per chi vuole controllare il citofono di casa anche a distanza. L’installazione è semplice e veloce, e la configurazione tramite l’app Ring è chiara e intuitiva. La possibilità di rispondere al citofono direttamente dallo smartphone, ovunque ci si trovi, è comodissima e aumenta notevolmente la sicurezza e la praticità quotidiana. Ottima la qualità audio e l’integrazione con l’ecosistema Ring e Alexa. Un prodotto ben progettato, affidabile e davvero utile per la vita di tutti i giorni.

Desde que descubrí Alexa, estoy haciéndome con todo tipo de aparatos para domotizar mi casa y ahora ha tocado el Ring Intercom, un invento muy útil para domotizar telefonillos domésticos. Una vez instalado, permite abrir la puerta del portal y contestar al telefonillo a través del teléfono móvil. Todo ello incluso aunque te encuentres fuera de casa, haciendo explotar el cerebro de tus vecinos :'). Siempre que llamen al telefonillo, te llegará una notificación al móvil y ya decides si abrir la puerta directamente o contestar como si fuese una llamada de teléfono. Además, el Ring se puede vincular a los Echo Dot / Echo Show que tengas por casa, por lo que también puedes abrir la puerta del portal o comunicarte con el telefonillo a través de los Echo mediante comandos de voz, simplemente diciendo "Alexa, abre el portal" o "Alexa, habla con el portal" para contestar. La instalación es bastante sencilla, aunque tiene su proceso: 1°.- Tienes que mirar cuál es tu modelo de telefonillo y comprobar en su web si es compatible con el Ring (el mío es un Tegui básico de toda la vida, el Tegui-71U, y funciona todo sin problema). 2°.- Una vez que vayas a instalarlo, hay que descargar la app de Ring, escanear el código QR del aparato e ir siguiendo todos los pasos que te vayan indicando. 3°.- Lo que viene después no tiene mucha ciencia: conectarlo a tu WiFi, elegir tu modelo de telefonillo y conectar los cablecitos según te indique la app. El aparato lo puedes fijar a la pared taladrando o pegarlo mediante un adhesivo que trae. Yo lo he pegado y tras varias semanas aguanta sin problema. Añadir que no va conectado a la corriente, sino que funciona mediante una batería que se carga por USB. En las instrucciones se indica que la batería dura unos 5 meses de uso y tarda de 5 a 10 horas en cargarse por completo. Recomiendo cargar la batería antes de instalarlo, ya que suele venir descargada. En general, funciona bastante bien, pero le pondría 2 pegas: la primera es que si quiero contestar por voz a través del móvil tarda varios segundos en conectar con el telefonillo, no es inmediato, así que hay que repetir varias veces "¿quién?" hasta que te escuchan y tú oyes a la otra persona. La puerta sí que se abre al instante en cuanto presionas "abrir". La segunda es que cuando intento comunicarme a través del Echo Dot me oyen bastante bajo, aunque yo sí oigo bien al interlocutor (tengo pendiente investigar si puedo subir el micrófono). Son algunos fallos que considero que deberían mejorar para próximas versiones. Aun así estoy bastante contenta con la compra. Un producto recomendable si te gusta la domótica.

Functioneert super goed! Kan praten met iemand die aanbelt en ook vervolgens de deuren ontgrendelen. Ook kan ik mezelf binnenlaten op deze manier. Installatie was relatief eenvoudig.
