Amazon launches refreshed Ring Battery Doorbell
Ring, a subsidiary of Amazon, today announced the release of its new Ring Battery Doorbell, the latest addition to its smart home security product lineup. This model introduces Head-to-Toe HD video, a feature that was previously available only in the higher-end Doorbell Plus and Pro models, and it boasts up to 23 percent longer battery life compared to its predecessor, based on commonly used settings.
The Battery Doorbell features a 150-degree by 150-degree field of view, which provides users with a comprehensive view from head to toe of anyone at their doorstep. This capability is particularly useful for monitoring package deliveries, offering a 66 percent taller view than the previous generation, the Ring Video Doorbell – 2nd Gen. Additionally, the device includes color night vision to ensure clear visibility in low-light conditions.
