Updated September 2026

It keeps 24/7 video on a microSD card or a Reolink NVR for free, includes a chime, carries a two-year warranty against one, streams over RTSP and adds Google Home to the Alexa and Home Assistant support both share. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is the sharper camera, with 4K video, colour night vision, a square 140 by 140 degree view and a choice of finishes, but saved video and person and package alerts need a Ring plan. Both are wired and both connect on 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Pick the Reolink Doorbell WiFi to own your footage, and the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) for the best image in an Alexa home already paying for Ring.

What the differences mean

Storage and subscription

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi records around the clock to microSD or an NVR at no cost. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) has no local storage, so every saved clip, and its person and package alerts, depend on a Ring subscription.

Image

The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) records 4K in a square 140 by 140 degree view with colour night vision. The Reolink Doorbell WiFi records 2K in a tall 3:4 frame and is black and white at night.

Platforms and streams

Both work with Alexa and Home Assistant. The Reolink Doorbell WiFi adds Google Home and an RTSP stream for local recorders; the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) has neither.

Chime and warranty

The Reolink Doorbell WiFi includes a plug-in chime and a two-year warranty. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) sells its chime separately and has a one-year warranty.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Reolink Doorbell WiFi owners come back to one theme: no monthly fees and full local control. Many dropped Ring and Arlo plans and now keep weeks or months of footage on one microSD card, recorded alongside Reolink NVRs and Home Assistant. They call the 2K image sharp day and night, the audio clear over the included chime, and support responsive, including fair replacements. Their warnings are about power and setup: it needs 12 to 24V, so common 8V doorbell transformers will not run it, the QR-code Wi-Fi setup is awkward, a weak signal at the door means slow loading, the app does not open the live view when someone rings, and the tall 3:4 view is narrow from side to side.

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.
