Ring says this new model is its “most advanced battery-powered doorbell” yet, and it’s packed with features. even surpassing his wired doorbells. It boasts 3D motion detection powered by the company’s included radar Stick Up Cam Pro. Otherwise called “Bird’s View,” this technology follows the path of an object through the camera’s field of view, so you can track where visitors are going and the route they took to get there.

Ring says the doorbell’s dynamic image processing and high-efficiency compression deliver “vibrant color and sharpness, whether you’re watching Wired View or video from the night before.” To that last point, there’s a new tool called Low-Light Vision that provides “clear color” videos even in the dark.
The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro also includes a noise cancellation algorithm so you can hear who’s at the door, not just a truck. As the name suggests, it runs on a rechargeable battery rather than plugging into your home’s electrical system. The Ring is owned by Amazon, so you get Alexa functionality and Echo Show integration.
