Ring’s video doorbells are among the most advanced on the market. The existing Video Doorbell Pro already comes with a ton of features, including a 1080p camera and a built-in infrared sensor. The new generation builds on this and adds additional technology, making it one of the best products in its category.
The company has developed two new features, 3D Motion Detection and Bird’s Eye View, which are offered exclusively on the Video Doorbell Pro 2. They use a radar sensor to identify objects and people and accurately estimate their distance from the camera. Thanks to this, you can customize the motion detection alerts so that they are only triggered when a visitor is close enough to your door, so you won’t be warned when a car passes by.
The radar sensor also powers the Bird’s Eye View feature, which creates an aerial map of the path someone took before coming to your door. The latter can be viewed live or in your event history if you have a Ring Protect subscription.
In addition, the new doorbell comes with a 1536p camera, which offers a video format from head to toe, so you can better see who is at your door and what they might be carrying, as shown above. The Video Doorbell Pro 2 also comes with enhanced audio and an array microphone, so you can talk clearly to potential visitors and minimize sound distortion.
The Video Doorbell Pro 2 also comes with the great features of its predecessor such as end-to-end encryption, customizable motion zone detection, Alexa Greetings and Smart Replies.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 can be pre-ordered from Ring.com and Amazon.com for $ 249.99. It will ship on March 31. If the new features aren’t relevant to you, the price of the original Ring Video Doorbell Pro has now dropped to $ 169.99, making it cheaper if you don’t need the radar sensor and enhanced audio.
