And they're also a great way to see who is turning up at your door before you open it.
But one of the problems with Ring doorbells is that you fit them flat to the doorframe, which means parts of your garden might be cut off.
So frustrated Ring doorbell owners are turning to a gadget on that lets you tilt the doorbell.

And it's reversible so you can have it tilt to the left or the right depending on what you need.

“Without it most of the view was one of the side walls. It was so quick and easy to fit and adjust securely and is sturdy and fit for purpose.”
Another wrote: “Solid, easy to install and doesn't feel like it can be broken easily.
“We've periodically had a few random people knocking the door over the last 33 years and after the most recent one, they came back twice in two days which is very unusual for round here.
” I needed a doorbell but I needed it angled so it would catch anyone coming through the main gate.”
And one added: “Easy to install and fits my Ring Doorbell perfectly, giving me a much better and wider view than without it.”
