Motioncam Vs Ring

Despite both being created to fulfil a similar purpose in similar markets. There are a number of differences in hardware and functionality that show exactly why AJAX solidifies itself as professional security and Ring Doorbell as a casual security camera.

The main difference is that Ring’s primary use is as the name suggests, to be a doorbell. It acts as eyes and ears and a voice for people approaching your property. And whilst it does act as a deterrent by just being there, the Ring Doorbell does not have any specific properties pertaining to scaring away intruders.

The MotionCam on the other hand is designed specially as a security system to act as a deterrent, capture live images and link to security alarms to scare away intruders. It can be paired with a siren to alert yourself inside the house (HomeSiren) and one to scare intruders outside (StreetSiren).

Another distinct difference that shows the gap between professional and casual security is MotionCam’s anti-sabotage measures. This means that if somebody attempts to remove the device, or cover it up you’ll get an instant notification. AJAX firmware also prevents signal jamming and digital forgery.

Lastly, MotionCam has a number of handy features to make life and security easier. For instance, pets and swaying trees can both be ignored therefore reducing false alarms. And AJAX scenarios help you to build automation into your security system.

So what are the similarities? Well, both can capture live video, are controllable from smart devices and both link to a hub inside of your house via WiFi. However, MotionCam can also operate via ethernet, LTE and 2G cellular systems, making it perfect for domestic and commercial security.
