We recently "upgraded" to this Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 and we are AMAZED! We loved our initial Ring and were really anticipating our upgrade! Initially we noticed that the width was slightly less (we love this) and it remains super streamlined with a very clean presenting faceplate! The picture quality is stellar and the audio clear and crisp! The 3D motion detector really is amazing! Installati Allyrio · ring.com
