Mine is more of a chime, never lets us down though.

Got this ingenious thing where people knock on the door and when you hear a knock you answer it. It's the future

Never had an issue with mine and worked a treat in Rhodes when a delivery guy rang it and asked him to leave it in the porch

I have one and two other external cameras, never had a problem.
In all honesty don't use it to talk to the delivery man as per the adverts. They are probably an expensive, offering low/moderate additional security, but, as I say, never had a problem with them.

apologies if was already discussed (I did a search and it didn't come up)

'Knock Knock'

Knock Knock

Let’s the delivery man/ local criminals know you are on holiday and so can rob the gaff

As per the advert

Oh I’m on holiday on the beach just looking at my phone...

No ones in please rob me.

How does it do that exactly? With the Ring you have the option to answer and use the speaker function or not. If you chose not to use it, then it's just like any other door bell. If you do use it, it doesn't force you to be completely honest, nothing to stop you saying you're out and will be back in 5 mins, even if you're actually the other side of the world and won't be back for 3 weeks.

I think they’re ok, reasonably easy to set up.

One of my favourite OFAH gags that one. I often wonder, did they come up with the joke first, then name the character Knock Knock, or did the joke come as an afterthought having already named the character.

That all depends on the person answering the phone


The wife American sister and hubby stayed with us a while back and were obsessed with looking at their drive through the ring/ phone

One night he sat there and said to his wife ‘ hey there’s someone on the drive’ ( in Las Vegas!)

To late your just been robbed I told him... he was awake all night worrying.
