Ring has announced the new Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, which features innovative 3D Motion Detection with radar, enhanced audio capabilities with an array of microphones, and customisable privacy features.

Combined with a new Head to Toe video, 3D Motion Detection and Bird’s Eye View, it gives homeowners more context about what is happening at their front door.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 uses radar to better detect objects and homeowners can customise which areas of their property they want to monitor by selecting distance thresholds. The radar sensor determines when an object crosses the distance threshold by measuring its specific distance from the camera. The camera only starts recording once that threshold is crossed, and sends homeowners a motion alert.

3D Motion Detection also powers a new Bird’s Eye View feature, which provides an aerial view of the homeowner’s property and a map of where a motion event starts to give you historical context to the nature of the event.

Together, 3D Motion Detection and Bird’s Eye View are the newest way for homeowners to get more control and context about what’s happening in front of their door.

Ring founder and chief inventor Jamies Siminoff says that these are the natural next steps in home security and will set a new standard in motion detection: “With the introduction of these radar-based features, we’re reinventing what our devices can do to give our customers a more precise picture of what is happening at home. We’re excited to add this technology to our most popular product, the doorbell, and to offer customers even more choices for their home security systems.”
