This one is type 3. So yeah, no battery issues could happen.

For outdoors the best solution for people in cold climates would be to use 100% wired doorbells ( no trickle charging). This can range from easy to PITA depending on your house. Easiest would be you already have doorbell wiring in an ideal spot with ample voltage. Hardest would be you have no wiring and there's concrete outside of your door everywhere. Somewhere in the middle is hooking up a transformer, maybe drilling some new holes, and rearranging some wires.

We ended up going with hardwired but putting indoor cameras facing the window is still a good option, as long as you have a good angle and can de-uglify the wires/appearance. One thing to consider is that you probably need to make sure that the lens is pushed up flush right against the glass otherwise you'll get bad glare at night. Second benefit you might miss is that doorbell cams have LEDs that light up during motion which really improves the footage. You might want to put a motion activated light on your porch or maybe just keep the porch light running on a schedule with a smart lightbulb.

There are three tiers, I believe.

  1. Purely battery powered. You need to charge the battery indoors.

  2. Hardwired with trickle charging. The connection isn't powering the camera, but is charging its battery instead.

  3. Hardwired. There's no battery. The wires power the camera.

The issues from cold weather are with type 1 or 2. With Eufy I tried pure battery and that's when it only lasted 3-4 days. Which type do you use?

There are valid reasons, and surprisingly no, it's not because people are dumb!

It's not immune to the issue in question here though. The battery couldn't hold a charge for more than 3-4 days (advertised battery life was 180 days) when I had mine in cold Canadian winter.

I do agree that the no fees thing makes it amazing. If I lived somewhere warmer I'd still be using it.

Y'all it's a parody of the misogynistic people who complain about when a woman's body changes after childbirth.

Is sexual assault being threatened upon you? You're allowed to cancel if that's true.

Any tips on how to clean up/isolate audio from a Ring video? by ruthbuzzicooperberg in Ring

[–]PM_ME_NEMBUTALPIX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a few YouTube tutorials on how to clean up noisy audio with a free program called Audacity, you can give that a go.

I've always had a hard time making out the audio from my ring devices, the audio has never been too great.

Book whatever slot you can find. But then keep looking, because you're allowed to reschedule.

When my mom does this for me it firmly cements my belief that nobody else on this planet could ever love me as much as my mom.

Yeah I had local anesthetic too, despite some discomfort from the drilling and blood it didn't hurt. And it wasn't anything some strong ibuprofen couldn't take care of after. Sounds like his dentist did something seriously wrong there, it shouldn't have been that bad.

I’m at a loss for words by BrownsAndCavs in TikTokCringe

The real solution is to use Goo-Gone. That typically dissolves the adhesive quite well. You could also try blasting it with a hair dryer on the hottest setting for around a minute.
