I've read a lot of the reviews on the DoorBot Amazon page, and frankly, I would think twice about buying Ring. Not because of the many problems with the software/hardware that DoorBot suffered, but the lack of response from your customer service reps.
Not sure if you personally read them, but customer service unresponsiveness is a common theme in those 1-2 star reviews.
Have you done anything to address this problem? DoorBot was your first gen product; you HAD to expect problems and made sure people were being responded to.
Edit: forgot a word.
I never got a $99 upgrade offer - paid full price after never being able to get my doorbot working properly (802.11b only? Really??).
Ring has been a little better, but still get a black screen far more often than I'd like, and 3-5s latency on audio for a local wifi device is rather frustrating.
We did do a $99 upgrade for everyone that had bought a Doorbot .
