15/209,735, filed Jul. 13, 2016, titled “Magnetic Mount Assembly of a Camera,” which is hereby incorporated by its entirety. Referring to FIG. 7B, in some implementations, a rear exterior surface of the device housing 702 provides an access to at least one of a plurality of wire terminals 720 and an electrical connector 722 e. g. , a Universal Serial Bus USB connector. The plurality of wire terminals 720 include a first terminal and a second terminal configured to receive a power supply line and a ground line for driving the plurality of electronic components contained within the device housing 106. Specifically, in an example, each of the power supply line and the ground line includes a respective fork terminal coupled to a corresponding wire terminal 720, and fixed thereto by tightening a screw fastener. Under some circumstances, the doorbell camera 106 is mounted on a wall or doorframe surface in place of a conventional doorbell, and the plurality of wire terminals 722 are coupled to receive the power supply line and the ground line that were applied to drive the conventional doorbell. Alternatively, in some implementations, the electrical connector 722 is coupled to one or more electrical wires for receiving a power supply or exchanging data with another electronic device. In an example, both the plurality of wire terminals 720 and the electrical connector 722 are available on the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702.

We examined 20 factors that affect what happens when someone rings the doorbell, accepting a call, in call controls and motion detection settings. We found August Doorbell Cam Pro and Ring Video Doorbell Pro easier to use than other smart doorbells. August's call notification was unique, acting more like a traditional phone call than a standard smartphone notification as with the other six doorbells we tested. The Ring Pro shines in a different way with some of the best motion detection options on the market. In general, the other products were all very easy to use, though RemoBell had fewer options for motion detection, smart home compatibility and was the only video doorbell we tested that must be rung to show live video. You can't look in on a live video stream because the unit goes into hibernation when nobody's around.

It only allowed a live view when the device sensed motion in a specified area or when the doorbell button was pushed. Unknown to me at the time, in April 2016, live viewing became available to wired RING doorbells and late this summer or early fall the 2nd generation doorbell will be able to activate on demand viewing on battery power. This is a big jump for doorbell devices. Now, you can place your ring doorbell in the most optimal area to view deliveries, people walking up to the door or you can check on what’s happening in the neighborhood even if it’s across the street. This beats out all of the other enhancements from other video doorbell devices in the market. I’ve seen some bad doorbell placements and you can tell that the builders never envision that someday people would be replacing their doorbells with security video cameras. Another reason why RING is killing the competition is that their batteries last sooo long. With regular everyday use, I’ve seen units last several months before they need to recharge which is very easy to do. Some of my clients even have several RING video doorbells covering their front door, backdoor, enclosed fence and garage entrances. Screwing in the camera to the front door itself is very popular as well since you can get the perfect height and center view for your cameras. Now it is better to use your existing wiring if you can because you don’t have to worry about battery charging but if it’s only one or twice a year, I don’t think most people would mind.
