We have been ripped off by a Bomber sponsor.
In April, Bomber sponsor Ring offered a 50% discount on their products to Members. Seemed like a good deal and we replaced our front door bell and camera plus got another outdoor camera. Price seemed OK, but I found that the same deals were offered all over the place so it was actually nothing special.
Anyway items arrived and I installed them. It came with a 30 day access to the Ring cloud storage, so you could have recording of everything the cameras saw 24/7 or so it said ! After the 30 days we took out the yearly cloud subscription.
We were away for a month and I could look at everytime the doorbell rang or someone stepped into the view of the camera. All good so far.
This morning a car was stolen from outside our house owned by a Teacher from the school next door. I was asked if our camera had any footage, so I checked to find that there were views of the car at 10:15 am, but the next view was 11:15 am and car was gone. I contacted Ring to ask how I could view the video history that I was now paying to store in the Cloud to be told that the unit I had purchased did not record 24/7, only for āeventsā. So they let me pay for a subscription to store 24/7 for 180 days, but didnāt tell me that the camera doesnāt handle it.
Police came to investigate and the cop laughed as he had heard the same story before and said that Ring is the last product that they would recommend. I am not so sure the Club will care.

Turning on the computer to find thereās no internet connection and trying all the usual tricks to get it going again. Phone the ISP help line and be stuck in a queue for so long (~45 minutes) that your phone runs out of minutes and cuts off before you get to speak to anybody.

Pre-paid dumb phone. $44 for six months with a cap on call minutes and number of texts.
This is the one and only time Iāve ever gone over the limit.
As you may have guessed, I donāt need to use a phone very often.

I canāt believe anyone uses bread clips after the original opening.
Give it a twirl and tuck it under the bag, done.
