UPDATE 2/2/2024: Immediately after leaving my review for this product, Matthew from Ring (Amazon Executive Community Support) promptly reached out via email to setup a time to talk. We had an excellent conversation today. We talked through certain issues experienced and he indicated there was a 1 yr warranty on the product. I wasn't aware of that. He also provided a suggestion to help improve the battery drain (antenna). This also helps signal strength. However, my main issue is that it completely stopped working. As mentioned below, this works great, when it is working. Given the warranty, Matthew arranged to have a new device sent to me. I truly appreciate this unexpected and wonderful customer service. I'm improving my rating as a result. Thank you, Ring, for the great customer support. That was truly unexpected, and we don't see this type of service very often anymore.
PREVIOUS UPDATE 1/31/2024:
I purchased this unit with the bridge 7 months ago. We have a long driveway, so it is great to know when mail or packages are delivered to the mailbox to eliminate unnecessary trips. For the first 5+ months, this product worked amazingly well. It does go through batteries more quickly. I also noticed that it had trouble detecting motion in extreme heat (90+ degree weather). It was inconsistent in high heat. Lately, it just stopped working. I replaced the batteries twice just in case, but it is no longer detecting. This would be a great product if it consistently worked.
