Wired Doorbell Pro

This doorbell must be hardwired to your home's electrical system.

Wired doorbells require drilling as part of their installation.

Ring doorbells store video recordings on the cloud, which requires a subscription. They can technically also store recordings locally, but it still requires a subscription (the highest Ring Protect tier), which removes one of the main benefits of using local storage. This option also requires a Ring Alarm Pro base station. You can't do both local and cloud storage, so if you choose local, your recordings are not backed up on the cloud.

Using radar technology, this doorbell offers "Bird's Eye View," which maps out the precise path that a visitor took when triggering your doorbell and allows you to see their path overlaid on a satellite image of your home.

Pre-recording shows you several seconds before the start of a motion event so you can see what set off the motion detector.

This doorbell streams and records video in 1536x1536 resolution. Ring calls this "1536p," which isn't an established resolution like 1080p. This doorbell's aspect ratio is 1:1, which means that what Ring refers to as 1536p is 1536x1536.
