1440p HD Head-to-Toe (1:1 Square)

1440 × 1440 square sensor with 150° horizontal and vertical viewing angles — head-to-toe video that captures both visitor face and ground-level package zone in one shot.

USB-C Charging + Optional Wiring

Integrated battery recharges via standard USB-C (the cleanest charging interface across the Ring battery line) or wires to 16-24V transformer for continuous operation. Six to 12 months between charges in typical use.

Full Ring App + Echo Hub Integration

Live View, Two-Way Talk, Motion Alerts, Quick Replies, and Ring Alarm integration — the same core Ring app feature set as the premium Battery Doorbell Pro at a third of the price.

Do you think Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2024) deserves the #9 spot in Best Smart Doorbells?

Global Critique

Easy, flexible, priced right — Ring's entry-level battery doorbell is great value at $100.

PCWorld

A great budget buy — the sub-$100 entry point to the Ring ecosystem with the full Ring app feature set intact.

Trusted Reviews

Everything you need in a video doorbell — the 1440p resolution and 1:1 square aspect ratio capture more useful head-to-toe framing than the older 1080p models.

T3

USB-C charging is a meaningful upgrade — Ring buyers can use the same charger as their phone rather than the proprietary connectors on older models.
