Ring has announced that it is updating its original Ring Video Doorbell, and the new model comes with a range of upgrades over the original.
The new Ring Video Doorbell does video in 1080p and it comes with a range of modes and also a new range of privacy zones.
With the next generation Ring Video Doorbell, you get even more security features — from enhanced audio quality and crisper night vision, to Snapshot Capture that takes still snapshots at certain intervals throughout the day. This allows you to review on your timeline what’s happened in front of your doorbell in-between recorded events and Live View. The adjustable motion zones now come with an additional near zone, that helps you only receive alerts you care about most. And to make it even easier to remove the battery for charging, we have revamped the mounting system, as well.
Enhanced Security Features
The new Ring Video Doorbell is designed to provide homeowners with a comprehensive security solution. The 1080p video resolution ensures that you get a clear and detailed view of anyone who approaches your door. This is a significant upgrade from the original model, which only supported 720p video. The enhanced audio quality means that you can communicate more effectively with visitors, whether you’re at home or away. The crisper night vision ensures that you can see clearly even in low-light conditions, making it easier to identify visitors or potential intruders at night.
One of the standout features of the new Ring Video Doorbell is the Snapshot Capture. This feature takes still snapshots at regular intervals throughout the day, allowing you to see what has happened in front of your doorbell between recorded events and Live View sessions. This can be particularly useful for keeping an eye on package deliveries or monitoring any unusual activity.
Customizable Motion Zones and Privacy Features
The new Ring Video Doorbell also comes with adjustable motion zones, including an additional near zone. This allows you to customize the areas where you want to receive motion alerts, helping to reduce false alarms from passing cars or pedestrians. By focusing on the areas that matter most, you can ensure that you only receive alerts for activity that is relevant to your home security.
Privacy is a key concern for many homeowners, and the new Ring Video Doorbell addresses this with a range of privacy zones. These zones allow you to exclude certain areas from video recording, ensuring that you respect the privacy of your neighbors or other areas that you do not wish to monitor. This feature is particularly useful for homes in densely populated areas where cameras may inadvertently capture footage of neighboring properties.
Improved Usability and Installation
In addition to the enhanced security and privacy features, the new Ring Video Doorbell has also been designed with usability in mind. The revamped mounting system makes it easier to remove the battery for charging, ensuring that your doorbell is always powered and ready to use. This is a welcome improvement over the original model, which could be more challenging to install and maintain.
The new Ring Video Doorbell is now available to preorder in the US for $99.99. This competitive price point makes it an attractive option for homeowners looking to upgrade their home security without breaking the bank.
