- Ring released a wireless version of its premium 4K video doorbell
- It also launched three 2K doorbells (two battery-powered and one wired)
- All battery doorbells are compatible with a new Ring solar charger
Amazon has just unveiled a battery-powered 4K video doorbell for ultra-sharp images, wirelessly. Like the wired version launched last year, the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd generation) offers Retinal 4K video, 10x zoom, enhanced night vision and, according to Ring, “installs virtually anywhere without rewiring.”
It has a fast-charging, quick-release battery, and with a Ring AI Pro subscription you’ll have access to features like AI video descriptions that tell you exactly what’s happening before checking footage and let you search for specific events rather than skimming through recordings. The Wired Video Doorbell Pro has a list price of $249.99 / £219.99 (around AU$360).
There are also three new 2K video doorbells in the mix. If you’re looking for something wireless, you can choose from the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Generation) and the Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Generation), which cost $179.99 / £149.99 (around AU$260) and $99.99 / £79.99 (around AU$149), respectively.

If you already have doorbell wiring, there’s also a new version of the Ring Wired Video Doorbell, which is the most affordable option at $79.99 / £59.99 (around AU$120).
Want a wireless doorbell, but worried about battery life? Ring also launched a new solar charger, compatible with all of its new battery doorbells. The aptly named Ring Solar Charger can be mounted anywhere, with the doorbell installed on top, and is priced at $49.99 (around £38 / AU£70).
The new doorbells and chargers are available for pre-order now in the US and UK. I hope to put the new models through their paces very soon to see if they deserve a spot on TechRadar’s ranking of the best video doorbells. Stay tuned for more details.
