Ring today announced the launch of its new outdoor home security product, the second-generation Ring Video Doorbell. It’s the company’s flagship product and according to Ring, the most popular video doorbell on the market today. The new Ring Video Doorbell brings a handful of improvements, the chief being its ability to record video in full 1080p HD.
“Over 1 million users, who we call ‘Ring Neighbors’, trust our innovative and industry-first security products to reduce neighborhood crime in a meaningful way,” said Jamie Siminoff, who is the founder and chief inventor of Ring.
The second-generation Ring Video Doorbell can record video in 1080p. It also features a removable, rechargeable battery, improved night vision, interchangeable faceplates, and more in the same sleek design.
Much like the original Ring Video Doorbell, the new version offers two-way audio and motion detection. It can connect to existing wired doorbells as well.
The camera inside the doorbell has a 160 degree field of view and a 180 degree horizontal motion detection angle. It’s compatible with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi networks.
The second-generation Ring Video Doorbell is available for purchase starting today from more than 15,000 retail locations across the country, including Best Buy and Home Depot stores. It’s also being sold at ring.com for $199.
