I luv new invetions etc but I've been left confused by an inventors claim to his product on an advert via Sky TV.. The advert .. Ring.com is a device which works off wifi or network connection and basically shows who's at your door via a picture on your mobile phone screen.. While I can clearly see its uses, the opening statemaent says " burglary alarms tell you when a burglary has already happened, my invention prevents a burglary before it happens" the ad then shows a burglar in broad daylight approaching the property from the front of the house and ringing the doorbell? Of course the lady prevents the burglary by using her ring.com app which makes it look like she's at home... As I say, yes it has its uses, but, how many burglars would ring the doorbell? And would they then, discovering there's no one in, break in via the front of the house in broad daylight and in this case in a busy street? To me it's like saying ... I'm wishing to rob your house today, but unfortunatly it appears no ones in, so I will do the decent thing and pop back and rob you when I know someone's at home....
What it's saying is that a burglar would ring the bell to check if anyone is in. If there's no answer then they would attempt to break in. It doesn't state they'd attempt it via the front door does it? Added to which the system also has a motion sensor I believe so it would warn you if someone was just loitering with intent. So maybe the answer is to have the system fitted to the back of the house as well as the front. Ps thread moved
Mt FB walls fills up with all these ads, and normally not actually in existence, just another bright spark selling vapour-ware
I know what your saying mate.. But, it would seem your trying to say a burgler would ring a doorbell before he Attempts to break in... well all those I know who have been broken into including ourselves didn't receive the aledged curtsey phone call first! Perhaps it was because in our case it was at approx 3am when they called, and thought, oh their sleeping it would be rude to disturb them before we av it away with all their goodies...
Burglars come in all shapes and sizes and caravans. Some will ring the door bell during the day, gutters cleaning, driveway resurfaced etc if you answer. At night obviously not but thats where the auto detection comes in. I fancy a couple myself but not at £150 each plus monthly subscriptions to cloud storage. I will wait for either the price to fall or the copies coming out.
I have just bought the Ring stick up cam installed it at weekend after scrotes tried to break in garage. Very impressed with it so far. If it gets smashed, nicked or whatever they give you a brand new one to replace for free. Got a notification on phone it detected movement, swipe and I can see wife at garage then can talk to her etc. If it was scrotes I'd simply inform them I'm on my way with my iron bar. 2 way audio quality is superb.
