A clever, easy-to-install battery doorbell with useful pre-roll and head-to-toe video, recommended despite a questionable Bird's Eye View and an old charging port.

What do critics say about the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro?
Homes and Gardens83est.
Excellent video, audio and battery life after a month of use, but expensive and barely better than the Plus, so the reviewer would often pick the cheaper model.
T383est.
A strong flagship battery doorbell with sharp video, great night vision and clearer audio that justifies its price, though Ring's protection plan is costly.
TechRadar77est.
Performs excellently and reliably, with better motion detection than the Plus, but the reviewer finds the small upgrades not worth the higher price and the best features sit behind a subscription.
