Ring Pro is very easy to install, though a little more complicated than Ring Video Doorbell 2. It's the only Ring doorbell we tested with people detection features and fully customizable motion detection zones. It also has the best video quality of the smart doorbells we tested, though it's not so much better than the competition that it's worth the higher price. This is the most expensive smart doorbell we tested, costing around $250, about $75 more than average. Unlike Ring's cheaper doorbells, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro doesn't have a battery backup, which means you need to connect it to a traditional doorbell or other compatible power source within your home. As with Ring's other doorbells, you can get excellent smart home options and cloud video storage for as low as $3 a month.

Of course, you would also want a recording angle that’s wide enough for a better coverage. If you’re getting a camera with revolving lens, get one with a 360 degree viewing angle. Otherwise, 120 degrees should suffice for a fixed lens. Other things to consider include the weather proof rating of the camera, connectivity, and storage solution. But more than anything, never compromise your security by choosing a cheap camera that falls below your expectations.
