Ring Battery Doorbell Plus – Review 2023

The latest addition to Ring’s growing stable of video doorbells, the Battery Doorbell Plus ($179.99), is the company’s most advanced battery-powered model yet. It offers a wider, higher-resolution (1536p) view than its predecessor, and includes features such as color night vision and intelligent motion detection.
