Linked Devices enables you to see the views from all of your Ring cameras in a single dashboard. Updated Septemto add reporting on a couple of new features that Ring has released for customers with more than one Ring device. Bottom line: The Ring Video Doorbell 2 is a useful home security device, and I heartily recommend it. But Ring has been tenacious, and through constant iteration the company has improved its core technology. Smart home gadgets are rarely as smart as we need them to be, and I’ve spent a lot of time on Ring tech support over the last two years, struggling to get the original doorbell working as advertised. But as a more-or-less satisfied owner of Ring’s first doorbell, I have to give Ring credit: Motion detection is better than ever, and once I got through some initial set-up hassles, Ring Video Doorbell 2 was actually easier to install than the first-generation product. And, wow, some of its set-up procedure was seriously frustrating. The Ring Video Doorbell 2 ( $199 on Amazon) is a relatively modest, incremental update to the original Ring Video Doorbell.
