Ring Battery Doorbell (2024) is a battery-powered 1080p video doorbell with a 155° field of view and two-way audio. It ships with a white Chime (2024) for local alerts and notification routing. Video is cloud-stored (requires Ring Protect subscription for recording beyond 24-hour snapshots); smart detection (person, package, familiar faces) is cloud-based and subscription-gated. Works with Alexa and Fire devices. IP54-rated for weather resistance. No local storage option, and core recording/smart features require a paid plan (~$4/month). The battery lasts 6–12 months depending on activity and climate. Best for existing Alexa ecosystems and households willing to subscribe for full feature access.
