Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2

Pros

• Design aesthetics ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
  Reviews describe the Pro 2 as a modern, low profile doorbell with a chrome edged, glossy black faceplate that blends neatly into most door frames rather than drawing attention to itself.
• Peace of mind ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
  Reviewers frequently frame the Pro 2 as a major boost to peace of mind, letting them see visitors, deliveries, and potential intruders in clear detail before opening the door or even when they are away, which helps many users feel safer at home.
• Size & form factor ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
• Motion detection performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.8
  3D radar based motion detection is a standout strength, letting owners draw precise distance limits on a satellite map and then reliably track where movement starts and ends, so motion alerts feel more accurate and informative than on Ring’s simpler doorbells.
• Video resolution & detail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.8
• Complete kit in box ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.7
  Most buyers report that the Pro 2’s box includes all the essentials for installation, such as screws, a screwdriver, mounting hardware, and an angle bracket, so separate tools or extra parts are rarely needed.
• Pre-roll buffer ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.7
  The Pro 2’s pre roll buffer records several seconds of video before motion is officially detected, so clips include the lead up to an event and are less likely to miss crucial action compared with cameras that only start recording the moment motion triggers.
• Field of view & framing ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.6
• App, software & firmware ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
• Upgrade value vs previous model ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
  Upgrade oriented reviews highlight that compared with the original Ring Pro, the Pro 2 offers taller, sharper video along with 3D motion and Birds Eye View mapping, so many existing Ring owners see it as a meaningful improvement that can justify paying more.
• Zones & activity areas ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
• Snapshot capture ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  With a Ring Protect subscription the Pro 2 can take periodic snapshots between motion events, and reviewers say these still images make it easier to follow what happened on the doorstep when scrolling through the event history.
• Color options ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Ring offers several different faceplate colours for the Pro 2, allowing buyers to better match the doorbell to their trim or exterior and, thanks to the included coupon, experiment with at least one alternate colour at no extra cost.
• Faceplate/accessory inclusion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The Pro 2 ships with a satin nickel faceplate and, after setup, the Ring app provides a coupon for one free additional faceplate in an alternate colour, so many owners can customise the look without paying extra for a second plate.
• Recommendation for new buyers ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  Overall recommendations are strong, with reviewers viewing the Pro 2 as a feature rich upgrade over the original Ring Pro and a top choice among premium video doorbells for buyers who can justify the higher price, and this review further stresses that its much clearer, taller video and extras like 3D motion and Birds Eye View make it the preferred pick over Ring’s wired budget model for homes already invested in Ring or Alexa, while Nest remains better for Google centric households.
• Installation & Mounting ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
• Motion-detection customization ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Reviews note that owners can set distance limits, draw motion zones, and tweak how the Pro 2 reports activity so alerts focus on key walkways while reducing unnecessary notifications from less important areas.
• Chime ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  The Pro 2 can chime through a separate Ring Chime unit or announce visitors on Echo devices, and it supports existing mechanical chimes in the US, but UK owners cannot use traditional chimes and may need to rely on Ring’s own accessories for audible alerts inside the home.
• Delivery package monitoring ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Reviewers note that the Pro 2’s tall video framing makes it easy to confirm when parcels have been dropped off and keep an eye out for potential porch pirates without constantly guessing what happened on the doorstep, though at least one review points out that there is no dedicated package detection alert so monitoring still relies on general motion notifications and manual checks.
• Quick-reply / pre-recorded message usefulness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Alexa powered greetings and quick reply style features on the Pro 2 let the doorbell automatically speak to visitors, and while some reviewers regard them as convenient ways to handle deliveries or missed visitors and others see them as slightly gimmicky or rarely used in practice, this review emphasizes how futuristic and genuinely useful it feels to have Alexa answer the door and take messages when you cannot.
• Low-light & Night vision ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.1
• Smart-home integration (Alexa, Google, Siri, HomeKit, Matter, Thread) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.1
  Reviews describe the Pro 2 as an excellent fit for homes already invested in Ring and Amazon Alexa, with tight integration into Echo smart displays, Alexa announcements, and other Ring cameras, while Google centric households are usually steered toward Nest instead, and several reviewers note that there is still no native Apple HomeKit support, which may disappoint iPhone focused smart homes.
• Bird's eye view feature utility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.0
  Birds Eye View overlays motion paths on an aerial map to show where visitors came from and went, and while some owners find the picture in picture map adds only modest extra information or even feels gimmicky on simple, single path doorsteps, others like seeing a glanceable trail when people move around the property, though the satellite imagery itself can still look low resolution and the overlay is only visible inside the Ring app.
• Wi-Fi range & stability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  The Pro 2 supports both 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi, giving more flexibility for placement and helping users take advantage of faster, less congested networks compared with 2.4 gigahertz only Ring models.
• Community feature usefulness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Ring’s Neighbors feed is often praised for sharing nearby users’ posts about animals, suspicious noises, thefts, and other incidents, giving owners extra situational awareness about what is happening around their street beyond their own camera view.
• Notifications ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Owners typically receive rich motion or ring notifications within a couple of seconds and appreciate seeing a preview and being able to snooze alerts for short periods, though reviews also mention that notifications can sometimes arrive more slowly than expected.
• Ongoing ownership costs ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Owners typically pay a low monthly Ring Protect fee of roughly a few dollars per camera to unlock recording and advanced features, and most reviews view this ongoing cost as affordable but essentially unavoidable if you want the full Pro 2 experience.
• Theft & Tamper ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
• Audio ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  Most reviewers find the Pro 2’s audio acceptable for two way talk, but some side by side comparisons suggest that Ring’s cheaper wired model can sound slightly clearer, so expectations for a big audio upgrade over budget Ring doorbells should be modest, even though this review notes that the new microphone array makes spoken responses easier to understand.
• Recording ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
