The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus delivers crystal-clear 1536p HD video, head-to-toe coverage, and easy wireless setup for instant peace of mind. With customizable motion alerts, two-way talk, and a sleek Venetian Bronze finish, it’s designed for both style and security. Discover why we fell in love with this smart upgrade and see if it’s the right fit for your home.
The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is great for anyone who wants a wider angle of front-door visibility without dealing with wiring. Its head-to-toe video coverage (1536p HD) genuinely makes package monitoring easier. The only drawback is that frequent motion alerts can drain the battery faster than we’d like. Priced around the mid-$150 range, it’s a fair deal for a smart home upgrade that truly adds daily convenience.
We moved into a house where our old wired doorbell was unreliable and out of the way. After missing one too many deliveries, we decided it was time for a smart, battery-powered model that didn’t require drilling or rewiring. We’d tried a cheaper knockoff before, but the video quality and lag were frustrating. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus stood out because of its head-to-toe video feature, battery operation, and easy integration with Alexa. We liked that it came in Venetian Bronze—slightly warmer and less tech-looking for our porch.
After four weeks, the battery dropped to about 45% with moderate daily activity and default motion settings. Recharging via the provided cable takes around six hours. We did notice that extra motion alerts (say, when we had weekend guests) drained it faster, so we adjusted the sensitivity slightly. The faceplate cleans easily with a microfiber cloth, and Ring backs the product with a one-year warranty. No visible wear so far, even after daily handling and a stretch of cold nights.
Tips, tricks, and care
- Charge the battery fully before first use—it extends initial performance.
- Adjust motion zones to just cover walkways, not the street.
- Review settings weekly at first to balance battery life and alert frequency.
- Use the app’s privacy zones if you share a close porch with neighbors.
- Consider adding the solar panel charger if you live in a sunny area.
If you want a smart, wire-free doorbell that pairs high-quality video with an elegant design, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus earns its spot. We’ve enjoyed the simplicity of answering the door from anywhere, and the clear head-to-toe view has genuinely changed how we monitor deliveries. Battery life isn’t its strongest suit, but with settings tweaked to your household, it’s manageable. It’s a smart upgrade we’d keep—and one we’d recommend confidently to most homes looking for security and style in one.
