Hello all, hope all is well.
Was just on the internet and came across some products by Ring, such as their alarm system, lights, cameras, etc. Have any of you heard or tried these products out? I do have two Ring Doorbell's, which work really well with the Ring app since thats accessible, so I"m assuming the other products should work with Voiceover.
For those curious, here are some links to things mentioned earlier in this post.

Hope to hear from y'all soon.
Thanks

I love ring products, but…
I have a ring doorbell. I stick up cam, a spotlight camera and multiple ring lights.
I purchased them about a year and a half ago and I was able to set everything up on my own without cited help
Recently, however, I had some issues and I had to set up my ring chime pro again because something happened to it and I needed to have cited help find the Wi-Fi networks.
I have been back-and-forth with Ring on messenger since November took several months for them to get back to me
And now I think they are actually working on the issue.
So I recommend Ring products, however be prepared you might need somebody cited to set up your Wi-Fi network for you until they fix that problem
Otherwise I find everything pretty accessible.
You'll need sighted help for some things
I've got the Ring alarm. You are able to alarm and disarm it from the app, but there are a handful of items you'll need sighted help for. For what it's worth, I've noticed some regression in their app since I started using it 4 or 5 years ago when installing one of their doorbells at our old house.
Ring or something better?
Is Ring the most accessible app? I've been thinking about some sort of security system for the blind. But before I make that big purchase, I would appreciate suggestions from this community. Thanks in advance, guys!
Our setup
hmmm... I would suggest looking up a few, going through there features and reach out to support asking about accessibility.
New update!!!
I just downloaded the new Ring update!
And I can say that as of today I think that everything is fully accessible to the blind.
Hallelujah!
I can see the battery level on all of my ring devices.
I can see the Wi-Fi networks for everything.
So they really listened to the feedback that I gave them.
And they got the job done!
So as of today, don’t be afraid of the app.
Thank you.
Thank you Dizno. I will check Ring out.
Nice
Nice! that's really cool!
Hooray, that’s excellent…
Hooray, that’s excellent news!! I’ve recently bought the ring doorbell so can’t wait to get it installed now.
