How long should a Ring Door bell last?

[spacejamz]

Just curious what others think the life expectancy would be for this....

My Door Bell Pro is over 6 years old and has a red tint to the video image...Apparently this is a common issue. Many of the solutions out there said simply tapping the camera fixed it (temporarily for some though)...since it was pretty old, I didn't want any hassles so I just bought a refurb on amazon for $90 and it was just plug and play to replace it...the refurb fit perfectly in the existing bracket. Had to cancel the existing basic protect plan ($40 year to save your videos in the cloud and this sends a prorated refund for the unused months on the plan) and sign up for a new one (which has a free 30 day trial)...

Here is what the red tint on the video looks like:

My Ring Doorbell Pro is almost 5 years old. No problems so far.

Same at Ma's but they don't get any direct sun.

If you end up getting a new one, I'd recommend Nest over Ring. I've had both and Nest is much better. I ended up returning like $900 worth of Ring stuff after having it for 2 weeks and got Nest stuff instead and am much happier with it.

The cold reality is that all cameras will eventually wear out if put out in the exterior.

I purchased a bunch of Axis cameras that were traffic enforcement cameras in their previous life. A few hae compromised performance with regards to focus or zoom. Others have issues with color. Others are just fine.

I believe the sensor ultimately can only take so much UV and other "elements of outdoor nature". Earth...usually doesn't provide environments of preservation.
