Ring Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) – Retinal 4K Video, 10× Zoom, Battery Powered
The top of the 2026 lineup. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is the first battery-powered Ring doorbell to shoot Retinal 4K video. Previous Ring doorbells maxed out at 1080p or 2K — this jumps straight to 4K without requiring hardwired power.
Enhanced Zoom goes up to 10×, letting users crop into specific details like faces, package labels, or licence plates from recorded footage. The internal architecture has been redesigned from the ground up to handle 4K capture on battery power.
Motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts through the Ring app are all onboard.
Price: $249.99
Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) – Retinal 2K Video, Quick Release Battery
Sitting one step below the Pro, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) records in Retinal 2K video. The key addition here is the Quick Release Battery Pack — the battery detaches faster for recharging, so the doorbell spends less time offline.
Motion detection, night vision, and Ring app alerts carry over from the rest of the lineup.
Price: $179.99
Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) – 2K Video, 6× Zoom, Rechargeable
The mid-range option. The Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) captures 2K video with up to 6× Enhanced Zoom. It’s a streamlined, rechargeable design — no Quick Release Battery on this one, but the price drops accordingly.
All the core features are here: motion detection, night vision, and real-time Ring app alerts.
Price: $99.99
Ring Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen) – Retinal 2K Video, Hardwired Installation
For homes with existing doorbell wiring, the Ring Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen) offers Retinal 2K video at the lowest price in the lineup. No battery to charge — it draws power from the existing doorbell circuit.
Motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts are included.
Price: $79.99
Ring AI Pro – Video Descriptions, Keyword Search, 180-Day History
Every 2026 Ring doorbell ships with a free Ring AI Pro trial. The subscription adds AI-driven features on top of the standard Ring app:
- Video Descriptions — AI-generated text summaries of motion events, so you can skim activity without watching every clip
- Video Search — search through recorded footage using keywords like “person”, “package”, or “car”
- Up to 180 days of video history storage
- Extended Live View for longer real-time monitoring sessions
Ring AI Pro requires a paid subscription after the trial period ends.
Ring Solar Charger, Solar Panel, Faceplate, Chime Plus – 2026 Accessories
Two solar accessories launch alongside the doorbells:
- Ring Solar Charger ($49.99) — integrates directly into the doorbell’s mounting design, with the doorbell sitting on top of the charger. Keeps the battery topped up with ambient light. Compatible with Battery Doorbell, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro (newest models).
- Ring Solar Panel ($59.99) — a separate panel with higher power output, flexible mounting options (including roof mounting and adjustable angles), and compatibility with the Quick Release Battery Pack for extended battery life. Compatible with Battery Doorbell, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro (newest models).
Additional accessories:
- Ring Interchangeable Faceplate — compatible with Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) and Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen), allowing users to swap the front cover to match their door or home exterior.
- Ring Chime Plus — an indoor chime that plays doorbell alerts and notifications through the home, extending the Ring system beyond phone notifications.
The Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is the only model with 4K video and 10× zoom. The Plus (2nd Gen) and Wired (2nd Gen) both use “Retinal 2K” branding, while the standard Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) records in 2K without the Retinal label. The Quick Release Battery Pack is exclusive to the Plus model.
