It keeps 24/7 footage on a card or a Reolink NVR, ships with a chime, carries a two-year warranty, offers RTSP and works with Google Home as well as Alexa and Home Assistant. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is the better fit when there is no wiring at all: it runs on a removable battery, adds colour night vision and radar-based 3D motion detection, but saved video and person and package alerts need a Ring subscription. Choose the Reolink Doorbell WiFi to own your footage on a wired porch, and the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro for a wire-free install in an Alexa home.

What the differences mean

Power

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi is wired-only and needs a 12 to 24V supply. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro runs on a removable battery with wiring optional, so it is the one for a door with no doorbell wires.

Storage and subscription

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi records 24/7 to microSD or a Reolink NVR for free. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro has no local storage, so saved clips and person and package alerts depend on a Ring subscription.

Night vision and motion sensing

The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro sees in colour at night and uses radar-based 3D motion detection with a bird's-eye view. The Reolink Doorbell WiFi is black and white at night and relies on its own person and package detection.

Chime, warranty and platforms

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi includes a chime, has a two-year warranty against one year and adds Google Home and RTSP. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro sells its chime separately and works with Alexa and Home Assistant only.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise a sharp head-to-toe image and clear two-way audio. Reolink Doorbell WiFi owners, many of them leaving Ring and Arlo plans behind, single out weeks of footage on a single microSD card, clean integration with Reolink recorders and Home Assistant, and support that replaced units fairly; they warn that it needs 12 to 24V so common 8V transformers will not run it, that the QR-code Wi-Fi setup is awkward and that the app does not open the live view when someone rings. Ring Battery Doorbell Pro owners single out radar motion detection that catches fast delivery drivers, loud Audio+ talk and a battery that comes out without dismounting the doorbell. They complain about the subscription, motion detection that degrades over months for a minority, a tiny security screw that is easy to lose and weak 5 GHz for some.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
