Ring Battery Doorbell vs Ring Battery Doorbell Plus

The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus edges out the standard model here, costing less while adding Ethernet connectivity, color night vision and powerless video history. The Ring Battery Doorbell remains a solid, well-reviewed alternative if those extras aren't essential.

Connectivity and night vision. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus supports Ethernet in addition to Wi-Fi and adds color night vision, while the Ring Battery Doorbell is Wi-Fi only with black-and-white night vision.

Yes. Both the Ring Battery Doorbell and the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus share the same head-to-toe 150 by 150 degree field of view and a removable, quick-release rechargeable battery pack, so package and full-body visitor coverage is identical.

No, both are cloud-only. Neither the Ring Battery Doorbell nor the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus stores saved video without a Ring Protect subscription, though live view and basic motion alerts work on both without one.

Buyers who want the same Ring install experience and head-to-toe view at the lowest price, and who don't need Ethernet backup or color night vision.

Anyone who wants more stable connectivity via Ethernet, clearer color night footage, and powerless video caching, all while paying less than the standard model.
