Features

Overview: The Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) instantly alerts you on your smartphone, tablet, or computer when someone approaches your front door or rings your doorbell, and lets you see and hear who it is before you answer. The Video Doorbell has a built-in camera that streams HD video via Wi-Fi, and two-way audio to let you speak with your visitor. It features Advanced Motion Detection with customizable motion zones, and enhanced Wi-Fi. The Ring Video Doorbell has a built-in rechargeable battery with a hardwire option. Installation takes about 5 minutes, with the included hardware and tools.

Camera: The Video Doorbell has a wide-angle lens with a 155° field of view. The camera produces bright 1080p HD video in a Live View that you can watch on your phone, tablet, or computer. When motion is detected, a notification will be sent to your smart device or computer through the Ring app, allowing you to view the live video stream. Built-in infrared LEDs enable night vision after the sun goes down.

Motion Zones: Motion Zones allow you to define specific areas that you want the Ring Doorbell to monitor for movement. You can determine the size and shape of the Motion Zone in the Ring app by "drawing" the box in the app. Other zones, where there is frequent activity that causes false alerts, can be designated as non-active. Other Motion Settings include scheduling and sensitivity. You can schedule brief interruption in coverage to avoid triggering alerts caused by expected activity. A slider in the app menu lets you fine tune the sensitivity from "People Only" motion to "All Activity.

Weather Resistant: The Video Doorbell is water resistant, so it performs well in inclement weather and temperature extremes (-5°F to 120°F).

Installation: The 2nd generation Ring Video Doorbell is designed to replace an existing doorbell, and is compatible with most AC-powered door chimes (8-24 volts). Even if you don't have an existing doorbell, you can install the Video Doorbell and power it for months with the built-in rechargeable battery. The new Video Doorbell has a new mounting bracket that makes installation easier, and provides for quick removal of the battery for charging.

Wi-Fi: The Ring Video Doorbell operates on an 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. It requires a minimum upload speed of 1 Mbps, however, 2 Mbps is recommended for best streaming performance.

Works With Alexa: The Ring Video Doorbell lets you enjoy hands-free monitoring with select Alexa-enabled devices. You can view live video from the video doorbell on your Echo Show, or use it to watch recorded video. The Echo Dot can be used to hear custom notifications and for two-way talk.

Ring App: The free Ring - Almost Home app pulls together all of your Ring devices, including Video Doorbells and Security Cameras. The app sends you an instant alert when someone triggers a motion sensor, or rings your Ring Video Doorbell. You'll be able to see, hear, and speak to anyone on your property using your smart device. In addition, the app lets you create a virtual Neighborhood Watch and receive alerts from your neighbors. In the app, you can zoom and pan for a better look, customize the Motion Zones, times for receiving (or not receiving) alerts, and how often to be notified for motion events. The Ring App is available for Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 10.0 or later, and for Android devices running version 5.0 and up. The app also works with Windows 10 and Mac OS.
