Those of you who already own a Ring doorbell will know it’s a brilliant way to boost your smart home security, especially given how strong the ecosystem is. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed most is the simplicity of the app – from checking clip history to speaking to whoever’s at the door. Even after testing plenty of the best video doorbells on the market, that’s still something I stand by today.
That said, things shifted quite a bit a few months ago when Ring rolled out its Familiar Faces feature in the UK. It might initially sound like a small addition, but in practice it’s entirely changed how I use my video doorbell day to day.
