Features

Overview: The Ring Battery Doorbell (model 5F97F2) 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 Battery Doorbell has a built-in camera that streams "head-to-toe" HD video via Wi-Fi, and two-way audio to let you speak with your visitor. The Battery Doorbell is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery, or can be hardwired to an existing doorbell system. The Battery Doorbell has a Venetian Bronze finish, and is covered by a 1-year limited warranty, and lifetime theft protection.

Camera: The Battery Doorbell has a lens with a 150° (horizontal) x 150° (vertical) field of view. The camera produces bright 1440 x 1440 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 color night vision after the sun goes down.

Head-to-Toe HD Video: The camera in Battery Doorbell offers a taller Head-to-Toe field of view compared to previous generations. Rather than a wide angle view, the camera gives you a 1:1 aspect ratio, allowing you to see as much from top-to-bottom as you can side-to-side. The camera lets you get a full view of visitors, as well as packages on your porch or pets at your door.

Wi-Fi: The Ring Battery Doorbell operates on an 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connection on the 2.4 GHz band. It requires a minimum upload speed of 1 Mbps, however, 2.5 Mbps is recommended for best streaming performance.

Quick Replies: Quick Replies is a feature of the Battery Doorbell which allows your visitors to interact with your Ring doorbell, even if you don't answer the door. When the feature is enabled, and someone rings your doorbell, the visitor will hear a pre-selected message. The visitor can leave a message, as well, like a answering machine for your door. The Quick Replies messages show up on the Ring App timeline as an individual event.

Package Alerts: With the Package Alert feature, you'll be instantly notified when packages are delivered to your door or in a specified Package Zone. The zone can be set up in the Ring App where packages are typically left by mail carriers or parcel delivery personnel. A special algorithm in the app recognizes packages when they are left in this zone, triggering a notification that a package has been detected. Package Alerts are available to subscribers to Ring Home Standard or Premium.

Weather Resistant: The Battery Doorbell has a water resistance rating of IPX5, and is resistant to inclement weather and temperature extremes from -5°F to 122°F.

Installation: The Ring Battery Doorbell surface mounts to a flat surface with the included mounting bracket and hardware. It is powered by its built-in rechargeable battery. When the battery needs charging, you'll receive notification in the Ring app on your smartphone. To charge the battery, simply remove the unit with the included removal tool, and connect it to a USB wall charger via the included USB cable (USB-A to USB-C). You can also hardwire the doorbell into your existing doorbell wiring (8 to 24 volts AC, 40 VA max, 50/60Hz), if desired.

Chime Compatibility: The Ring Battery Doorbell works with the Ring Chime (2nd Gen) and Ring Chime Pro (both sold separately) to let you hear real-time notifications anywhere in your home. Chime Pro can also be used to extend your Wi-Fi range.

Ring App: The free Ring - Always Home app (Android 9.0+, iOS 15.0+) 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 Desktop App is no longer available, however, you can access your devices on Ring.com.

Works with Alexa: When paired with your Alexa-enabled device, you can enjoy enhanced features of the Battery Doorbell. You can ask Alexa to show you the view from your Video Doorbell on the Echo Show device. If you have a visitor at your door, you can enjoy two-way communications hands-free with your Echo Dot.
