2026 verdict
Footage that stays in the doorbell, not a cloud plan, is why the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra wins the porch comparison.
It lists internal storage, 5 MP video, color night vision, 5 GHz, Google Home and a chime in the box, with a battery rated at 90 days and a wired option. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is the better reviewed picture: 1536p, color night vision, radar motion and pre-recorded replies, with no local storage. Pick the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra to keep clips in the unit. Pick the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro if you already live in the Ring app and want that radar.

What the differences mean
Local file or a Ring plan
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra lists internal storage, event history and offline events. It has no microSD slot, and 24/7 history is not listed. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro has no internal storage and no microSD slot, so event history is subscription only. Person and package alerts on the Ring also need that plan. Package and familiar-face alerts on the aosu are subscription features too, but ordinary event clips are the part the onboard storage is there for.
Apps and the chime
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra lists Google Home and Alexa, and it includes a chime. Home Assistant is not documented for it. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro lists Alexa and Home Assistant, not Google Home, and the chime is sold separately. Neither lists Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. A Google house that does not want a Ring account has a direct listing on the aosu. A house that already has Echo routines and Home Assistant has that listing on the Ring.
Picture at night
Both list color night vision and black and white night vision, and both list 2K-class video: 5 MP on the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra, 1536p on the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro. The aosu view is 166 degrees diagonal. The Ring view is 150 degrees horizontal and vertical, with privacy zones. HDR is not documented for the aosu and is not supported on the Ring. Field of view aside, the Ring write-up is the one that describes radar 3D motion rather than a basic motion flag.
Power on the jamb
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra lists a rechargeable battery rated at 90 days and a wired connection, at IP65. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro lists a rechargeable battery with wiring optional, and it does not publish a battery-life figure or a weight. It can record an event while mains power is out. The aosu does not list that powerless event history. Both use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, so the radio is not the decider.
Which one to buy if
- you want the clip stored in the doorbell and a chime in the box
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra lists internal storage, an included chime, Google Home and a 90 day battery rating, at 5 MP with color night vision.
- you already pay for Ring and want radar motion on a battery door
The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is the better reviewed of the two, and its write-up describes radar 3D motion plus pre-recorded replies. Saved alerts need the Ring plan.
- the doorbell has to show up in Google Home
Google Home is listed on the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra and not on the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro, which stays with Alexa and Home Assistant.
- a documented Home Assistant integration is required
Home Assistant is listed on the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro. It is not documented for the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra, so that doorbell cannot be promised as a Home Assistant device from this sheet.

What owners say
aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra owners say the reason to buy was local storage and no extra monthly fee, with 5 MP they rate as clean and an install they found simpler than other brands they had tried. Battery life is the shaky part against the 90 day claim, and at least one owner calls human detection poor. Ring Battery Doorbell Pro owners instead praise the sunny 1536p image, color at night, and radar that catches a delivery the older Ring missed, plus a pack that comes off without unmounting. They accept a Ring Protect plan for person and package alerts, and a few report motion detection that got worse over months. The shared point is color night vision. The split is who holds the file.
