Overview

A hardwired video doorbell with Retinal 2K video and up to 6x zoom, built for a permanent installation on a door that already has doorbell wiring. It comes in a Speckled Gray finish and includes Two-Way Talk.

Running on house power instead of a battery is the core distinction from Ring's battery doorbells: no charging or battery swaps, at the cost of needing existing low-voltage wiring at the door. Rating and review pattern are close to the 2K Plus battery model, suggesting similar core video performance across the two.

  • Hardwired for continuous power
  • Retinal 2K video
  • Up to 6x Enhanced Zoom
  • Works with Alexa-enabled devices

Who it's for

Best for a homeowner with existing doorbell wiring who wants to avoid battery maintenance entirely. Not an option for a rental or a door without wiring already run.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Continuous power, no battery to charge or swap
  • Retinal 2K video with up to 6x zoom
  • Two-Way Talk and Live View built in
Cons
  • Requires existing doorbell wiring to install
  • Full video history needs a Ring Protect plan
  • Less flexible placement than a battery model

Performance notes

Wired power means the camera stays on and ready without the battery cycles that come with cordless models. Retinal 2K video with up to 6x zoom covers the porch, and real-time motion alerts reach your phone as soon as someone approaches.
