Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2

Pros

• Multi-user sharing ease ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
• Motion detection performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.8
• Peace of mind ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
• 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.
• Motion-detection customization ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.6
• Video resolution & detail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.6
  Reviewers consistently praise the Pro 2’s 1536p HDR video as a major strength, delivering very clear, detailed, and smooth footage with a taller view than 1080p models so it is easy to see visitors and zoom in when needed, and side by side tests show it clearly outclasses Ring’s budget wired doorbell for outright image quality.

• Snapshot capture ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
• Field of view & framing ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.4
  A very wide, square field of view shows a broad slice of the doorstep, capturing visitors from head to toe as well as packages, animals, and nearby activity, and this review highlights that it reveals noticeably more of the top and bottom of the scene than Ring’s wired budget model, even though a few competing doorbells now offer slightly wider framing.
• App, software & firmware ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
• Design aesthetics ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
• Faceplate/accessory inclusion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
• Recommendation for new buyers ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
  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.
• Smart-home integration (Alexa, Google, Siri, HomeKit, Matter, Thread) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.3
• Wi-Fi range & stability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  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.
• Notifications ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2
• Bird's eye view feature utility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.0
  Birds Eye View overlays motion paths on an aerial map to give a quick top down look at where visitors or animals came from and went, and while some users find the picture in picture map and motion history timeline a handy, glanceable way to understand how movement flowed around the door, this review adds that it can feel a bit gimmicky and is most useful when there are multiple approaches to the doorstep.
• Installation & Mounting ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
• Size & form factor ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
• Delivery package monitoring ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
• Community feature usefulness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
• Low-light & Night vision ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.9
  Low light and night vision performance on the Pro 2 is generally strong, combining HDR with Ring’s pseudo colour night vision to give a better sense of what is happening after dark than many rivals, but detail still drops off and this reviewer notes that the color night vision mode mainly adds yellow highlights without true colour, so faces can be harder to recognise and owners should temper expectations.
• 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.
• Quick-reply / pre-recorded message usefulness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  Alexa powered greetings and quick reply style features on the Pro 2 let the doorbell automatically speak to visitors, but this reviewer and others often regard them as gimmicky or rarely used in practice because most delivery people do not wait at the door long enough to justify the interaction.
• Chime ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
  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.
