Ring Battery Doorbell vs Ring Battery Doorbell Pro

The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro comes out on top, adding dual-band Wi-Fi with Ethernet, color night vision and radar-based motion detection that the standard model lacks. The Ring Battery Doorbell remains the more affordable pick if those upgrades aren't essential.

Connectivity is the clearest gap: the Pro adds 5GHz Wi-Fi and Ethernet alongside 2.4GHz, while the standard Ring Battery Doorbell is limited to 2.4GHz only. The Pro also swaps in radar-based 3D Motion Detection instead of the base model's simpler motion sensing.

The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro, which adds color night vision on top of black-and-white, giving a clearer picture after dark than the standard Ring Battery Doorbell's black-and-white-only night image.

Yes, both the Ring Battery Doorbell and the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro use the same 150 by 150 degree head-to-toe framing, so both catch full-body visitors and packages on the ground equally well.

Shoppers who want Ring's wireless, no-drilling install at the lowest possible price and don't need 5GHz Wi-Fi, color night vision, or advanced radar motion detection.

Buyers who want the strongest possible Wi-Fi connection with Ethernet backup, sharper color night vision, and more accurate, false-alert-reducing motion detection, and are willing to pay more for it.
