Last summer when we spent an amazing two weeks in Turkey and Rome, we knew exactly who was coming and going thanks to our smart video doorbell. Built-in motion sensors detected activity on our property and triggered instant mobile alerts sent to my phone while we were stopped at seaside towns on the Turkey’s southern coast and relaxing in our Roman apartment. With the ability to stream live audio and a 180 degree video feed from our front door, we always knew what was happening outside our home even if we were on the other side of the world.
After awhile the neighborhood kids remembered that we were away and stopped ringing for playdates but getting instant motion alerts helped us know whether we should give a heads’ up to our house sitters to check for a package delivery or throw away literature from the endless stream of landscaping companies who are constantly trying to deforest our yard of its beautiful old trees.
Since it’s for burglars to knock or ring the doorbell to make sure nobody’s home before breaking in, Ring’s security products can give potential intruders the impression you’re home, even when they’re not. With Father’s Day and summer right around the corner, there’s no better gift for dad than the gift of home security thanks to a Ring Doorbell System.

I’m aware how simplistic this will sound but it is my immediate thought and my thought after re-reading: how freaking cool is this?!,
I love that we can see who is at our door all the time too…our security system has this feature. It’s such great weight lifter when we travel!
I would love this. With so many packages coming and out as a blogger, I am not always sure it is UPS or FedEx at the door and I hate that feeling of wondering who it is! This is great.
This might be THE GREATEST INVENTION EVER. sharing this with my husband right now can’t wait to get my hands on one of these.
I’ve seen this on television and online, and I could help but think how helpful and cool Ring Video Doorbell is! Once we move into our home, this will be added. We get a good amount of packages, even when we travel, so this will be a great thing to have.
