About

What it is.

Video Doorbell Pro 4 is a battery-powered smart doorbell in Ring's lineup, positioned above the standard Video Doorbell models as its most feature-complete offering. It records in Retinal 4K resolution with Enhanced Zoom for capturing detail at range, and pairs radar-based 3D Motion Detection with color night vision that shifts to black-and-white once light drops off entirely.

The Quick Release Ultra Battery Pack lets it mount away from existing wiring and swap batteries quickly for charging. Two-Way Talk runs through Ring's Audio+ for clearer conversation at the door, and the doorbell works with Amazon Alexa for voice announcements and viewing. It ships in several finishes, including Polished Mocha and Deep Silver, and suits households that want a recognizable, established brand behind their entry security rather than a newer or unproven alternative.
