Be sure to let us know how it goes with the new one.
This function has improved over time. When I first bought my IPC A-35 as a nursery cam, 2-way through Blue Iris didn't work (through the Dahua app it did work in testing, but I block all cams but the doorbell from the internet), but it does now (not sure when that happened), but it has not worked with my NSC-DB2. Only way for that to work is to use the cloud servers.With the paid BI mobile app you can do two way talk.
If we had older phones or low-end phones, perhaps. But over the last 4 years or so, my wife and I have had Galaxy Note 8's, Note 10's and now Note 20 Ultra 5G's. We both experience the same issues and pretty much only with Ring, nothing else.To the OP, your phone may still be the issue.
I'm not having problems like that, but I just checked and I'm using 75.75.75.75 which is Comcast's DNS. I could have sworn I changed that. Not that I trust Google's DNS any more than Comcast's as far as privacy goes.@dcaton A few months ago I was helping a friend set up a new wifi router. The router was setup to receive the DNS server automatically from the ISP (default settings). For whatever reason, his Ring doorbell and floodlight cameras did not like the DNS server and it would only show him a black screen when he connected. I changed the DNS server in the router to use the google DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and that fixed his problem. Maybe try changing your DNS server in the router to Google's and see if that makes a difference.
Many other DNS options, google search is your friend.I'm not having problems like that, but I just checked and I'm using 75.75.75.75 which is Comcast's DNS. I could have sworn I changed that. Not that I trust Google's DNS any more than Comcast's as far as privacy goes.
I'm well aware, thanks. I have piHole running in a Docker container on my NAS, and I'm pretty sure its using 1.1.1.1 and all DNS queries that piHole doesn't block should be routed through that. Will have to check to see if something in the router's config didn't get reset.Many other DNS options, google search is your friend.
So far so good. Audio quality seems to be greatly improved over the original Ring Pro, The "3d" motion sensing seems to have virtually eliminated all unwanted motion alerts and allows a larger motion zone height and width. For example I can include the sidewalk in the y-axis of my motion zone without actually detecting people walking down the street because the depth setting doesn't extend out to the sidewalk. You can't do that with 2d motion zones. Video quality is also improved as is the vertical field of view.Be sure to let us know how it goes with the new one.

I'm happy, so far. I may end up replacing the Ring Pro at our main residence with the Pro 2 as well. Amazon has a trade in program that would reduce the cost to about $160.
