I just want to say thank you. I recently bought the argus lumus and waiting on the argus 3 pro once they restock. But you brought back safety into my home. I truly cant thank you enough! Been having car robberies, drug dealers, and other sketchy things happening, but now i see it all. Installing my ring tomorrow! Keep up the great content and thank you for making a difference for my family and I. As well as other people needing security

Fantastic job covering all of the features. This camera really captures your front porch well. The 6 second preview is definitely a plus. This looks like a home run for many people. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

This is by far the most thorough review of the Ring Pro 2. Great job!

The wired Ring doorbells (as well as wired Nest Hello doorbells) are great products. HOWEVER, they don't tell you upfront that these wired doorbells all have an internal non-user-serviceable battery. IF you will be using the doorbell with a mechanical chime, just be aware that at some point, the battery inside will fail.

The internal battery on these units are used to provide temporary voltage to the doorbell unit when a mechanical chime is used. When someone presses the doorbell button, power is temporarily routed away from the doorbell to the chime inside the house. The battery keeps the doorbell powered for the 1-2 seconds while this happens. Over time, this small battery will be unable to deal with the voltage drop and your doorbell will lose power and reboot itself. If you don't rely on a mechanical chime or if you use the Ring wireless chime, than it won't be an issue. If you do use a mechanical chime, depending on your environment (which includes usage rate, weather, temperature, etc.), the doorbell will stop function properly at some point in time. For most users, it seems to be somewhere between 1-3 years.

I can definitely say the 3d motion works as intended, as I changed the ring 2 pro doorbell to well be just a doorbell-cam only and only motion jingle if someone is actually walking up the path and is a person (I enabled the 3d motion set the angle and range to 6m so people walking past the front of the house on pavement (7m) don't set it off and adjusted the motion zone to only cover the path and the whole entrance only so motion detection is not been set off by next door neighbour and the 3d motion ignores anything past the entrance

I noticed at the end of your video you mentioned it not very useful, so if you set it to say 6m anything beyond 6m is completely ignored if you say live 7m from kerb (as I do) with foot traffic it will reduce activations to zero (just from my ring Pro 2 cam alone it works definitely as intended) as you have objects blocking your main road 3d motion probably isn't as useful for you (but in most other user cases it be road facing and removes all incorrect motion recordings/jingles), , but useful for figuring out what rogue activations motion is setting off a motion recording because it'll tell you where it was with that dot map (as it shows the dot for people and motion movements ) as without it you have to just look at the screen for movement without it or just give up and drop the sensitivity down a notch

The only one problem I have with the motion zones you can add, as what are you supposed to do with extra zones as you can't configure what the other zones do (like only detect and record motion as I want the second zone to record motion but not notified you can't do that)

it's what has made me modify my doorbell cam to be completely not annoying now (3d zone range + path zone only) as I permanently turned off notifications until I did that

and look at now getting the indoor cams to point outside front and back for general motion recording but no notifications (and to keep eye on the dog so probably a 3rd one) I am assuming the stick up cams are still at an disadvantage (even when powered) vs indoor one

Thank you for the video! I’m debating whether or not I should upgrade from the Pro to the Pro 2. I’ll wait until your comparison video to make my final decision. Take care!

[mattbesenfelder]

I upgraded from pro 1 to pro 2. I love LOVE the new speaker it has. Its so load and clear now! That's the biggest upgrade in my opinion minus a much better field of vision. Worth the upgrade for me? Oh yeah!

[Nrion]

Excellent review, although I disagree with your unboxing impression. It's nice to get 3 faceplates and the wedges included, but those must have generated a ton of plastic waste since most people stick with 1 color faceplate, and many people don't need the wedges or retrofit.

I think the coupon makes up for it since I can pick exactly 1 faceplate with the color I want, and not have to toss 3 of them into the recycling.

[ladyfirehorse]

Thanks for the thorough review. I'm thinking of getting the new Ring but wanted to know more about it.. As for the minimalist packaging, that is how every business should be packaging their products so as to minimize packaging waste. Companies who do this are doing their part for the environment. Using recyclable materials would be an added plus.

Ring just released the FLOODLIGHT CAM PRO! You need to check it out!!!!

[xavierthompson]

I agree with you... For the price, the video should be 2K and have a siren. Maybe even a small battery as an anti theft feature to go with the siren. But I guess they are ok with theft since I recall that they will replace it for free when stolen. I am also somewhat disappointed that they still won't offer local storage of some type. I won't upgrade bc of the price. Maybe if they offer a trade in or really big discount for current subscribers.

[shane_pacheco]

The faceplates make sense a lot of waste by providing them all in each box. You only use 1 color typically anyways for the life of the product so it prevents e waste. Plus you’re still getting it for free with the coupon

[Frankr]

AS ALWAYS....GREAT REVIEW!! Not certain I am going to upgrade my Ring Door Pro to the RDP 2....not enough features to justify spending $250.... Thanks again for doing a great job with the review.

[jacobmarley]

Best review video ive seen so far, love how extensive you were in testing the camera at different light levels.

Keep up the good work sir

[PKDN]

I got the regular video doorbell but it couldn't handle Canadian winters. The battery wouldn't hold a charge even though it's hard wired. Your review has my interest peaked!

[dannyjuang]

looking forward to your future review on the new floodlight pros that just got announced!

[escape]

I have been debating whether to get this or the Google Nest. What a great video! You helped me decide whether I want to buy this or not. I'm disappointed that it does not come with any accessories, which is fine if you already had the original Pro but this is my first purchase and I could really use the wedge mount. You touched on things that I never would have thought of and I enjoyed the different visuals.

[looeyt]

LH, you did a pretty thorough review without having a VERY long video...good job bro...thanx a lot...best of luck
