With the introduction of new 2K and 4K video doorbells, Ring is taking the image quality of its smart home devices to a new level. The focus is on the manufacturer’s first battery-powered 4K video doorbell, which enables razor-sharp recordings without the need for complex installation. At the same time, the high-resolution video technology is being extended to other devices – a step that should improve both convenience and security in everyday life.
- First battery-powered 4K video doorbell with 10x zoom
- New 2K models for different applications and budgets
- Optional solar accessories for longer battery life
- Expansion of the 4K portfolio with additional security camera
Ring 4K video doorbell sets new standards in image quality and flexibility
With the Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd gen.), Ring is presenting a battery-powered video doorbell with 4K resolution for the first time. This provides significantly more detail than previous models and, thanks to its optimized 10x zoom, enables precise detection of people, parcels or movements in the entrance area. The higher resolution can be crucial in security-relevant situations in particular, as even small details remain clearly visible.
A key advantage is the wireless installation. As no fixed cabling is required, the doorbell can be installed flexibly in almost any entrance area. At the same time, a fast-charging battery ensures that the higher resolution is not at the expense of usability. This combination of performance and simple installation makes the device particularly interesting for rented apartments or buildings without an existing infrastructure.
In addition to the rechargeable version, Ring is also expanding its range to include a wired solution. The Wired Video Doorbell Elite relies on Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which means that both power and data are transmitted via a single cable. This ensures a particularly stable connection and continuous power supply – an advantage for users who want maximum reliability.
The line-up is complemented by several new 2K models that cover different requirements. From the entry-level model to the extended version with a removable battery, Ring offers a wide selection without compromising on modern features such as improved zoom functions or optimized video quality.
More efficiency through solar and expansion of the 4K ecosystem
In addition to image quality, there is also a greater focus on energy supply. The new solar accessories enable an almost continuous power supply for the battery-operated models. The integration of the solar charger directly into the mount is particularly practical, allowing installation and power supply to be combined. Flexible mounting options ensure that the devices can be optimally aligned with the sun.
At the same time, Ring is expanding its portfolio of high-resolution security cameras. With the new Spotlight Cam Pro, 4K technology is also being extended to other areas of the smart home. This creates a unified ecosystem in which multiple devices work together seamlessly and enable continuous high-resolution video surveillance.
Overall, there is a clear trend: higher resolutions are increasingly becoming the standard, while installation is simplified and energy efficiency is improved. Ring is thus continuing to position itself strongly in the smart home security market and is responding to the increasing demands for image quality and user-friendliness.
Conclusion
With the first battery-powered Ring 4K video doorbell and new 2K alternatives, the manufacturer is expanding its portfolio in a meaningful way. The combination of high resolution, flexible installation and optional solar power supply is well thought-out and practical. The prices of the new models start at 79.99 euros, while the top 4K version is priced at 249.99 euros. The devices are now available for pre-order and are expected to be delivered in the coming weeks.
