“At Ring, we are continuously pushing the boundaries to bring the most innovative devices and features to our customers,” Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff says.
“While features similar to Pre-Roll have been available on our wired devices, we believe it is important to also offer this feature to users with a battery-powered video doorbell, so that no one ever misses a moment at their doorstep.
“With Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus, we’re excited to continue bringing customers even more home security options, while keeping user privacy and control front and centre.”
The new doorbells build upon the previous Ring Video Doorbell 2 versions with a new adjustable motion zone, called a near zone, which detects motion within 1.5 to 4.5m of the front door. It also comes equipped with enhanced dual-band 2.4Ghz/5Ghz WiFi for improved connectivity.
Ring’s Doorbell 3 range includes a new Privacy Zone which lets users exclude certain areas of from the cameras field of view from recording. It adds an additional layer of privacy to the doorbells as users can also toggle all recording on/off.
