Ring's second-gen battery doorbell upgrades to 2K video

The new Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus adds higher resolution and faster response, but still hinges on a paid subscription for full features.

Ring's second-gen battery doorbell upgrades to 2K video

Ring has rolled out a second‑generation Battery Video Doorbell Plus that finally records in 2K.

The device keeps the wireless, battery‑powered design but upgrades the camera sensor, adds a faster processor, and offers a slightly larger field of view. Installers still mount it yourself, and the unit runs on the same rechargeable battery pack. Ring’s optional subscription is unchanged – it still unlocks motion‑zone alerts, video storage, and advanced AI filters.

Higher resolution means clearer faces at the front door and better evidence if something goes wrong. For users already in the Ring ecosystem, the step up feels more like a new product than a cosmetic refresh.

If you were hoping for a subscription‑free model, the price tag and ongoing fees keep Ring in the same business‑as‑usual lane.
