Ring’s video doorbells are among the most advanced on the market. Its existing Video Doorbell Pro already comes with a bunch of features, including a 1080p camera and a built-in infrared sensor. The new generation builds on these and adds additional technology, making it one of the best products in its class.

The company has developed two new features called 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 gauge their distance from the camera. camera. With this, you can customize motion detection alerts so that they are triggered only when a visitor is close enough to your door, preventing you from being notified when a car passes.

The radar sensor also powers the Bird’s Eye View feature, which builds an aerial map of the path someone has taken before coming to your door. This can be viewed live or in your event history if you have a Ring Protect subscription.

On top of that, the new doorbell comes with a 1536p camera, which offers a head-to-toe video format, letting you get a better view of who’s at your doorstep and what they’re potentially carrying, as discussed above. The Video Doorbell Pro 2 also comes with enhanced sound and a networked microphone, allowing you to speak clearly with potential visitors and limit 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 responses.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 can be pre-ordered from Ring.com and Amazon.com for $ 249.99. It will start shipping on March 31. If the new features aren’t your thing, the original price of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro has now dropped to $ 169.99, making it more affordable if you don’t need the radar sensor and improved sound.
