Buy a Ring Doorbell 2 (for $238 it is anyway one of the cheapest prices around) at BingLee and get a free Ring Chime Pro.

By what a rep has told me in chat, if you buy in store they automatically give you the Chime.

If you buy online you just add the Doorbell in the cart, pay for it, and reply to the confirmation email stating that you want the bonus gift shipped together with the order.
(I took a screenshot of the chat to be safe)

I think I will try to go to officeworks (I am in WA) and see if they beat the price AND give me the free Chime.

Will keep you updated

    Pretty significant security issues with this hardware.

      Do you have anything to hide? I certainly don't. My PIN is 1556. Come at me.

      What are the security issues? Users who reuse passwords with other hacked sites and don't use 2FA?

        I think the biggest concerns relate to USA based users where police officers could access and download footage without a warrant and without the users knowing.

          Yes, that, which I could very well see the Morrison government take advantage of if Amazon.au happened to offer it on journalists, climate protestors, boycott organisers, etc.

          But even if you don't care about an authoritarian government, Ring does not offer basic security precautions, such as:

          • double-checking whether someone logging in from an unknown IP address is the legitimate user
          • providing a way to see how many users are currently logged in
          • doesn't appear to check a user's chosen password against known compromised user credentials
          • does not try to limit the number of login attempts or present a captcha
          • offers 2-factor authentication but does not enforce it or default to it

          Once in, an intruder can:

          watch live and historical footage, listen through the camera's microphone, speak through the camera's speaker, play an alarm, see the name of the specific Wi-Fi network the camera is connected to, see the address the user originally registered the Ring camera with, see the phone number a user has entered into the app, and see nearby crime "incidents." This shows the specific, user-selected home address plotted on a map. Ring requires that a user input a home address to set up the camera.

            @Crocfreefree: If everyone is genuinely worried then they should consider maybe a hikvision doorbell or similar rubbing on blue iris

            How do the other camera companies compare? e.g. Arlo and Nest.

          I think the biggest concerns relate to USA based users where police officers could access and download footage without a warrant and without the users knowing.

          Looks like there's a lot of disinformation out there. First of all, that is not a security issue - it's a privacy "issue". And unfortunately thanks to sensationalistic reporting by various websites and news outlets (more clicks = more money for websites/news outlets), it looks like lots of people have the wrong info.

          From what I understand, for police to be able to review footage:

          • You must install the Ring Neighbors "social network". It is an app that puts you in touch with other Neighbours app users within 5 miles of your home.

          • The app allows anyone within that radius to post anonymous warnings or notices to the group along with optional video or snapshots from a Ring camera showing an event, e.g. suspicious people scouting a home. The app is only available in the US and is free for anyone to use - even without a Ring device.

          • Only videos or photos that you have shared with the public through the Neighbors app can be viewed by police.

          • The police must request permission from the camera owner via a general post in the Neighbors app. The camera owner can then choose to share all videos from the requested timeline, select specific videos from the timeline, or just do nothing. If the camera owner grants access, only then will the police receive their contact information (i.e. their address, so they know where the footage was recorded). If they just sign up as a normal app user, they won't know where the footage was taken.

          • The police cannot view a live feed of any camera.

          • If you don't install, or if you sign up to the Neighbors app but don't post any videos, there is nothing for the police to view.

          I'm happy to be corrected on any of the above. But based on that, is it really a big deal that the police are able to view your publicly-published videos if they ask you and you give them permission?

            @eug: Plus the neighbours app isn't even available in Australia.

    What was the home kit status with this/any model? It’s hard to keep up

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 22/12/2019 - 13:56

    Damn bought a pro 2 and standard chime for $307 yday at jb :(

    • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2019 - 14:09

      If its isnt a bundle buy this and just return the pro2?
      Or buy in Costco (pro2 + standard chime currently at $239.9)
      and return to JB

  • BrendaEagles on 22/12/2019 - 16:12

    Alex's devices can alert you if you don't have the chime

    • Digitalsin on 22/12/2019 - 21:46

      would i be able to view who's at the door with the Echo Show 5?

      • eug on 22/12/2019 - 21:48

        Probably depends on whether or not Alex tells you.

        (yes)

        • Digitalsin on 22/12/2019 - 22:06

          Thank you👍🏼
