We live in a townhome community and thinking about adding a Ring or other brand doorbell camera. Looking for suggestions, pros and cons, reliability, etc…

There had been a few things going on within the community where neighbors that have cameras in place have shared their videos. Once our gates get installed in a couple of months, the builders have been waiting until all units are completed, I think some of these issues will resolve themselves, but husband is thinking we should go ahead and get one. The way our unit is set up with 6 attached homes, our front door is on the backside from the driveway, so anyone we expect that enters our home, comes in through the garage. It is rare for someone to go around the building to the front door, unless they are unknown to us, or a package delivery requiring a signature. Amazon and UPS always leave packages at the garage for the homes with the front door not beside the garage.

With very little research yet, I was thinking of getting the Ring 3, as Costco has it on sale. It comes with a camera that I don’t think we would need, unless we set it in the garage somehow, or if it is weatherproof and could go outside the garage, under the deck.

I am open to suggestions.
