Features and design
The doorbell features Retinal 2K Video and 6X zoom, providing crisp clarity and the ability to capture details such as faces at a distance. It also includes a low-light feature for clearer night-time footage. The wireless camera offers Live View and Two-Way Talk, allowing homeowners to see, hear, and speak with visitors in real time through the Ring app, which sends real-time notifications when motion is detected.
The deal includes a 30-day trial of the Ring Subscription Plan, which enables video and rings to be recorded and saved for up to 180 days, along with alerts when people are detected at the door. The new generation model has a wider lens, offering a complete top-to-bottom view, unlike older models' 1080p horizontal landscape view.
