What the Tech?! - Week 22

I've got a product for you this week that I got for Christmas and let sit in the box until Spring Break!  Once I took the time to look at what it was, I was so mad at myself for letting it sit so long!  It's Ring Video Doorbell.  I know several of you have told me that you have this product and I'm almost mad at you for keeping it from me! ;)

So those of you who don't have it and haven't heard about it... You replace your current doorbell with this one (literally in the same exact spot, same wires, nothing special!) and when someone rings your doorbell you are notified on your phone!  Don't worry, your chime inside your home will still ring as well.  I also like that it notifies me if there is MOTION by my front door.  When you get a notification on your phone (that there was a ring or motion) you open the app and you can SEE and TALK to the person at your door!  No matter where YOU are!  If you want to be able to go back and see PAST ringers and motioners, then there is a $3/month cloud service fee for the company to store your videos. It is NOT required if you just want to get notifications and see/talk (in real time).

My UPS man never rings the doorbell when he drops packages off (You know I love me some Amazon Prime!), so I really like that the motion alert tells me someone is on my porch!  It's also great if you have kids coming/going to school when you have already left for work!  

You can buy these nifty little things all over the place and online!
