Preorders open now for a late‑April release, bringing higher‑resolution video to homes that prefer wire‑free installs.

Overview

  • Ring’s refreshed doorbell lineup, announced Wednesday, is available for pre‑order now with an April 29 release date.
  • The new Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) records in 4K with up to 10x enhanced zoom and uses a removable, rechargeable battery.
  • Three 2K options round out the range: Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) with a quick‑release battery, Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) with a built‑in battery, and a Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen) for existing chimes.
  • U.S. prices are set at $249.99 for the 4K Pro, $179.99 for the Battery Doorbell Plus, $99.99 for the Battery Doorbell, and $79.99 for the Wired Doorbell.
