Tasker is THE BEST. Maybe the video lagged due to not so powerful Android device but good strategy. If you can use windows or something it might be better due to more powerful system. But personally I'd find a different solution since this may start becoming too expensive.Exp315 wrote: ↑ Unfortunately not possible. I investigated every lead extensively when I got my Ring doorbell, and the only thing that's even close is using Tasker on an always-on Android platform to automatically launch a Live View window when notification from the doorbell is received and record that Live View video to a local file. Useless, because instead of having a lead time of a few seconds, the start of the recording would lag the event by 15 seconds or more.
I'm not a big fan of the subscription model in this case, since it's unnecessary money gouging rather than a necessary design feature. But Ring considers it to be the most important part of their revenue, far more important than the small profit they make on selling hardware. It's why Amazon bought them.
It's just too bad that Amazon hasn't done anything to integrate Ring and Alexa in almost a year. For example why wouldn't they have a skill to let Alexa announce doorbell rings? Google has done far more with Nest.
Also note that this package has the Echo Dot Gen2, which Amazon made obsolete yesterday with the Gen3.
What will stop it from working well in Canada. You said no subscription. Cross the border and get it. Or get it delivered but it'll be very ironic if that went missing too.Uberclk wrote: ↑ i wanted something like this since my last online purchase delivered by Canada Post went missing.. was considering the SkyBell HD made by Honeywell which does not required a subscription and can save video for several days i believe. however product is geared towards US market and not sure how well it works in Canada..
Exactly. I would't have it any other way. This is RFD remember. If I want to do regular shopping I'll look at flyers.

If I downvote, chances are it's less about the deal, and more about OP's inability to take criticism and constantly favoring their deal due to their ego.
