A Ring video doorbell was installed reusing the wiring from an existing working wired doorbell, to provide a crystal clear view of Anne's front door area and driveway. An internal Ring Chime and smart 8" HD screen were paired with the video doorbell.
We worked with Anne and her family to set up both the emergency and social communication features of the smart screen in the living room.
Smartbulbs were installed in existing fixtures and paired with sensors and a remote to reduce the risk of falling at night.
Installation and family training took an afternoon.
