Here’s how to pre-order Ring’s newest video doorbell
A new Ring doorbell is coming, and you can pre-order it starting today, March 8, for $179.99. The latest model, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, is one of Ring’s most impressive battery-operated video doorbells yet, with better battery life, 1536p resolution (the highest of any Ring battery doorbell yet), and a 1:1 aspect ratio offering a full head-to-toe view of who is your front door. It will ship starting on Wednesday, April 5.

Ring says the new Battery Doorbell Plus conserves the battery life when not in use. Energy-saving features like People Only Mode, Motion Zones, and Advanced Motion Detection are available on this doorbell and work to only tap into the battery power when events are detected.

The new Ring doorbell claims to have three times the battery life of the first Ring Video Doorbell, however the battery life largely depends on usage (i.e. the number of events the camera captures).
It’s worth noting that the Battery Doorbell Plus supports hardwiring to any existing doorbell wires you may have, offering a trickle-like effect to keep the battery going.
Additionally, the new Ring doorbell comes with a removable and rechargeable battery that is accessible by triggering the quick-release button on the camera’s exterior.

Some video doorbells need to come down to recharge, so the removable battery is a plus, allowing you to give the appearance your video doorbell is still recording even if the battery is indoors on the charger.
If you don’t have existing doorbell wiring in place, one option is to purchase an additional removable battery to swap in when the internal battery dies.
The Ring Battery Plus works with Alexa, and she can announce when someone is at the door via an Echo speaker or show you a live view of who is there via an Echo Show smart display. The Battery Doorbell Plus supports package detection and alerts, as well as pre-recorded quick reply messages if you can't get to the door.
We’ve tested other Ring video doorbells that run on battery power, like the feature-filled Ring Video Doorbell 4 and the $100 Ring Video Doorbell (second-gen), both of which performed well and we recommend.
We’ll be checking out the Ring Battery Plus Video Doorbell to see how it stacks up against the rest of our top-rated video doorbells.
