Amazon to launch battery-powered ring video doorbell pro
Technology
The device features 3D motion detection, higher-quality microphones and colour night vision
(Web Desk) - If you’ve been put off from investing in Amazon’s most premium Ring video doorbell due to the fact you have to get a professional to hardwire it in, we’ve got good news.
The online giant is launching a new battery-powered Ring video doorbell pro that is cheaper and easier to install.
The battery-powered Ring video doorbell pro is Amazon’s smartest battery-enabled video doorbell to date and will be released on 20 March.
Just as powerful as the hardwired Ring video doorbell pro 2 (£219.99, Amazon.co.uk) – with a chunkier design – it features an HD camera with a 1,536px resolution, as well as colour night vision.
It’s also more precise, compared with Ring’s other battery-powered doorbells, with 3D radar detecting distances of objects and people, so you get fewer false alarms.
Keep reading for all the details on the upcoming battery-powered Ring Video Doorbell Pro, including price and features.
It also features full-colour pre-roll footage, so you can clearly see who’s coming up to your door before motion is detected, with higher-quality microphones and speakers for clearer two-way talk.
The battery-powered video doorbell pro also supports dual-band wifi, as well as other useful standard Ring features, such as customisable motion zones and Alexa smart speaker compatibility.
You can also set up package alerts and person alerts with a Ring protect plan.
Amazon hasn’t stated how long the battery will last, but Ring’s battery-powered doorbells usually last anywhere between six and 12 months before needing a recharge.
The design of the doorbell doesn’t look as nice or as slim as the hardwired model (it does need to fit in a battery, after all), so keep that in mind.
