Not all video doorbells are a good fit for Irish homes. Between variable weather, older housing stock, spotty Wi-Fi in rural areas, and data privacy concerns, what works in the US or even the UK doesn’t always translate here. That’s why we created this blog, not just to list specs, but to show you which video doorbells actually work in Ireland, under Irish conditions, and for Irish users

The focus here is on Ring doorbells in Ireland because they are still the market leader and the first brand many people think of when they start researching smart doorbells. But we’re not here to blindly promote Ring. In this review, we’ll also compare Ring’s best 2025 models with top alternatives like Google Nest, Eufy, and Arlo. So let’s start!

Ring Doorbell FAQs

Does Ring Work with Eir or Virgin Media Routers?

Yes, Ring devices work seamlessly with both Eir and Virgin Media routers. Ring doorbells require a standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection (some models support 5 GHz as well, like the Ring Pro 2), which both Irish broadband providers offer.

Can Ring Notify Both Me and My Partner’s phone?

Absolutely, and it’s very easy to set up. When you install the Ring app, you simply add Shared Users by inviting your partner (or anyone else you trust) via email. They can get the same notifications, view live video, talk to visitors, and even manage settings, depending on the permissions you give them.

What Happens if My Wi-Fi Goes Down?

If your internet connection drops, your Ring doorbell will still record motion events locally for a short time if you have a subscription, but you won’t get live notifications or be able to view real-time footage until Wi-Fi returns.

Is There Irish-Based Customer Support?

Ring does offer dedicated customer support for Ireland, though it’s routed through their broader EU help centres. When you contact Ring support, you'll typically be directed to an English-speaking representative familiar with Irish shipping, subscription plans, and warranty replacements. However, with CCTV Wise, you won’t have to wait for your turn!
