- Ring has released a wireless version of its premium 4K video doorbell
- It has also launched three 2K doorbells (two battery operated 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 without wires. Like the wired version launched last year, the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) features Retinal 4K video, 10x zoom, improved night vision and, according to Ring, “installs virtually anywhere without rewiring”.
It has an extra-fast charging quick-release battery pack, and with a Ring AI Pro subscription you get access to features like AI video descriptions that tell you exactly what’s happening before you check the footage and let you search for specific events instead of scrubbing through footage. The Wired Video Doorbell Pro has a list price of $249.99 / £219.99 (approx. AU$360).
There are also three new 2K video doorbells in the mix. If you’re looking for something wireless, you can choose between the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) and the Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen), which cost $179.99 / £149.99 (about AU$260) and $99.99 / £79.99 (about AU$149) respectively.

If you already have doorbell wires, there’s also a new version of the Ring Wired Video Doorbell, which is the most affordable option at $79.99 / £59.99 (about AU$120).
Want a wireless doorbell but worried about battery life? Ring has also launched a new solar charger which is compatible with all 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 (approx £38 / AU£70).
The new doorbells and charger 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 list of the best video doorbells. Stay tuned for more details.
