It costs less, holds a stronger owner rating, and pairs 5GHz Wi-Fi with Ethernet for a more flexible connection than the 3rd Gen model's Wi-Fi-only setup. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) still has an answer in raw video specs, with retinal 4K resolution, 10x enhanced zoom and a wider 140-degree field of view that outpaces the Battery Doorbell Pro's 1536p image. Buyers who want the better value, better-reviewed and better-connected doorbell should choose the Battery Doorbell Pro, while those chasing the newest, sharpest video hardware will still consider the Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen).
