It records 24/7 to a microSD card or a Reolink NVR with no subscription, flags people, packages, animals and vehicles without a plan, shoots 2K, offers RTSP, ships with a chime and carries a 2-year warranty, and it adds Google Home to the Alexa and Home Assistant support both share. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro is the better reviewed of these two wired video doorbells and brings color night vision, a taller square 150 by 150 degree view and 3D motion detection, but saved video and person or package alerts need a Ring plan. Pick the Reolink Doorbell WiFi to own your footage, and the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro for an Alexa home that already pays for Ring.

What the differences mean

Storage and subscription

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi records 24/7 to a microSD card or a Reolink NVR for free and exposes RTSP for other recorders. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro has no local storage and no RTSP, so keeping video means paying for Ring's plan.

Smart alerts

The Reolink detects people, packages, animals and vehicles without a plan. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro offers person and package alerts with a subscription and no animal or vehicle alerts.

Night vision and view

The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro adds color night vision and a square 150 by 150 degree view that shows more of the ground. The Reolink stays black and white at night, with a 135 by 100 degree view that still covers a visitor head to toe.

Chime and warranty

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi includes a plug-in chime and a 2-year warranty. The Ring's indoor chime is sold separately and its warranty is one year, although owners say it rings an existing mechanical chime.

Motion detection

The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro lists 3D motion detection with a documented range of 9 m, which owners use to draw zones over a bird's-eye map. The Reolink offers motion zones too, without a published range.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both wired doorbells praise a sharp image and dependable dual-band Wi-Fi, and both groups warn about power: the Reolink Doorbell WiFi needs a 12 to 24V supply, and Ring Wired Doorbell Pro owners often had to fit a 16 to 24V transformer. Reolink owners single out dropping their Ring and Arlo subscriptions, weeks of footage on one microSD card and a clean fit with Reolink NVRs and Home Assistant, and complain about a fiddly QR-code setup and an app that does not open live view when someone rings. Ring Wired Doorbell Pro owners talk about a head-to-toe view that shows parcels, very accurate 3D motion zones, Echo Show announcements and a built-in siren, and their complaints are the subscription and a button that will not ring the chime again for about thirty seconds.

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.
