March 5, 2025-4 min read
A video doorbell is your first line of defence when it comes to boosting your home security but which one is best? The best models let you see who’s knocking without getting off the couch; have the safety perks of a high-definition camera; and give you the peace of mind that you’ll be alerted to deliveries and visitors from wherever your busy day takes you. Introducing Ring’s next-gen battery-powered video doorbell – the easy-to-install Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro.
Ideal for home owners and renters alike, this latest Ring doorbell offers cordless convenience, groundbreaking camera and sensor tech and innovative audio functions to make it a top choice for any secure smart home set-up. We’ve done a deep dive on Ring’s latest video doorbell to unpack all the must-have features that will help you simplify your home security to protect your loved ones and prized possessions. Here’s what’ll ring your bell…
1. Next-Level Video Monitoring
Whether it’s your lunch order, one of your children or an unwanted late-night visitor arriving at your front door, you’ll see every detail with the upgraded and expanded field of view on the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro. Covering high, low and wide angles in 1536p HD, the latest Ring doorbell camera can capture everything from the logo on a delivery driver’s shirt to the parcel they just placed on your door mat.

2. Vision Beyond Your Front Step
It’s one thing to keep a close eye on your front door, but it’s quite another – and even more useful – to track visitors as they approach. Radar 3D Motion Detection with Bird’s Eye View provides an aerial view of any significant movement around your home. It can be programmed to pinpoint movement in a precise area – for example, around your car in the driveway or at your letterbox. Clever radar tech in the Ring camera also reduces false alarms, only alerting you when someone approaches rather than when a jogger passes by.

3. Two-Way Communication
A doorbell camera with two-way audio adds an extra layer of protection for your home. The Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro is fitted with a microphone and speaker enhanced with Audio+ for better sound quality. Just talk into your phone, tablet or smart speaker through the Ring app and your voice will beam from the doorbell speaker.
“Adding two-way audio to your home security camera set-up can be one of the biggest deterrents to porch pirates and potential home invaders,” says David Linehan, The Good Guys Buyer – Home Security.
“Having this feature built into your video doorbell means you can interact in real time with anyone arriving on your doorstep, making it appear that you’re home even if you’re not. It’s also a great way to relay instructions for any important deliveries being made while you’re out.”

4. Day-And-Night Protection
Low light? No worries – the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro does some of its most important work after dark. Not only can it record flawless footage in any light, but it can also film in colour for improved clarity and motion detection. Colour Night Vision helps to better identify any unwanted visitors, especially if you need to provide information to police such as what colour clothing potential intruders were wearing.
5. Seamless Smart Home Integration
Picture this: You’re cooking dinner while the kids are doing homework at the dining table. The bolognese is bubbling, the pasta is on the boil and someone is yelling for help with their long division. Then the doorbell rings. Ring to the rescue! When synced, you can use voice commands through your compatible smart home speaker and screen to quickly respond to the world outside. “Alexa, show my front door.” Then, a quick “No thank you!” through the two-way audio and unwanted doorknockers will be on their way, and you can have dinner on the table sooner. Genius.
How To Install A Ring Doorbell
It’s simple – especially with the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro. It comes with a Quick Release Battery Pack, so you don’t have to worry about fussing with wires during installation. Just mount the doorbell with the included kit to a wall about 1.2m off the ground near your front door.
