The wireless doorbell marks the first time Ring is giving consumers a 'Pro' battery-powered video doorbell, bundling advanced surveillance capabilities in a package that is hopefully easy to install and swap batteries on. In its announcement, Ring stated that 78% of its customers are using a battery doorbell.
Ring also says the Battery Doorbell Pro has Low-Light Sight, a color night vision technology that lets it capture footage in color during the night, even when the light conditions are at their lowest. Right now, many security and doorbell cameras need a nearby light source to capture night vision in color and/or resort to IR night vision when there's not enough luminance to capture detail.
