Ring says the new product is an easy-to-use, affordable solution that connects to existing doorbell wiring and includes everything needed to provide peace of mind for home owners. Standard features on Ring Video Doorbell Wired include 1080p HD video with night vision and two-way audio with noise cancellation. The camera offers a clear field of view and the ability to see and speak with visitors from anywhere, the company says.

The unit also allows user to do Customizable Motion Zones, creating specific zones to trigger alerts and Privacy Zones can be set to eliminate areas a homeowner does not want to monitor. With those zones set, Advanced Motion Detection activates recording when movement is detected within a certain distance of Ring Video Doorbell Wired, sending an alert to the Ring app.

“Once installed, Ring Video Doorbell Wired is easy to use and customers have complete control over their experience within the Ring app,” the company says. “Customers can set their notification preferences, create their Customizable Motion and Privacy Zones, and also quickly connect other Ring cameras, Ring Chimes, their Ring Alarm and Ring Smart Lights to create an integrated whole-home security system and monitor what’s happening from anywhere.”

Other features include People Only Mode, a refined motion alert sent only when human beings are detected, and Rich Notifications, which show a snapshot preview to see what’s happening in real time before opening the Ring app.
