Overview
- Ring expanded its lineup Wednesday with three second‑generation battery doorbells and a refreshed wired model, with prices at $249.99 for Pro, $179.99 for Plus, $99.99 for Battery, and $79.99 for Wired.
- The Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd gen) records in 4K with 10x zoom and a removable battery that promises longer gaps between charges.
- The Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd gen) and Battery Doorbell (2nd gen) step up to 2K video with 6x zoom, and only the Plus includes a quick‑release battery for faster swaps.
- New power add‑ons aim to cut downtime, including a $50 Solar Charger that is built into the mount and a larger $60 Solar Panel for more flexible placement.
- Ring also updated its entry wired model to 2K for $79 and said it now works with existing doorbell chimes, while saving recorded clips still requires a paid Ring plan unlike options from Nest, Wyze, or Eufy.
