Our take on the Ring Video Doorbell 2nd Generation

The Ring Video Doorbell 2nd Generation is a battery-powered 1080p doorbell camera with motion detection, night vision, two-way talk and Alexa support. It is the entry point of Ring's lineup: cheaper in features than the wired Pro models, which add a removable battery and sharper video, and simpler than the Doorbell Plus and Pro with their head-to-toe view. It suits renters and anyone without doorbell wiring who wants a quick, app-based install. Owners like the easy setup and clear daytime video but often complain about false motion alerts and slow app response.
