Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (newest model), Home or business security, Retinal 4K with wide-angle video, 10x Enhanced Zoom, and Low-Light Sight, Deep Silver

Nice upgrade over my 2019 pro model
I have had my original Ring doorbell Pro since 2019 and have loved it. Never any issues at all during those years.I recently decided to upgrade to the new 3rd gen Pro, there was a $50 off promo so I decided why not.The new Pro 4k is s noticeable improvement for sure. The video quality is a huge jump, I would not compare the 4k quality to real 4k at all though. The quality was a really big jump still. I have a yellow porch light and at night with the new camera it may as well be day light. The low light capability is a huge jump over my previous camera.Install was simple, it used the same screw holes as my previous camera mount. Just had to attach 2 new wires, the new camera came with blade fittings and nuts vs using bare wire like the previous camera. The app walks you through everything once the camera is mounted, 10 min job.I did upgrade my transformer with the Ring brand one the day after installing the new camera. It also made a huge difference. I honestly didn’t even think about my transformer as my house is not too old. However after checking my original transformer was only 16v 10va. The new transformer is 16v 30va, so clearly a lot more power being offered to the camera. That was also very simple to upgrade.After upgrading the transformer the wifi connection was stronger by a small amount -30 to -25. Ring app power level went from 2 to 1. The video went from 1.3 a 1.8 mbps to 5-8 mbps. Double check your transformer before upgrading cameras for sure.

Very Disappointing Downgrade Disguised As An Upgrade!
I replaced a Ring Video Doorbell Pro (1st gen), expecting equal or better performance. The new model removed pixel‑based motion detection and relies on radar and infrared, which caps detection distance to ~20–30 ft. It misses events my old doorbell caught effortlessly (such as someone at my mailbox or walking up my driveway, both more than 30 ft away from the doorbell). The extremely wide-angle camera lens probably doesn’t help, reducing objects at a distance to fewer image pixels to analyze. Ring’s marketing implies improved detection, but doesn’t disclose the reduced range or the removal of camera‑based motion detection. The recommended 56‑inch mounting height is impossible for most homes with existing wiring. This is a downgrade disguised as an upgrade.Simple Comparison: Old Ring Pro vs. New Ring Pro (3rd Gen)1. What the old Pro did well• Detected anything moving in the camera view — people, cars, packages, you name it• Let you draw motion zones that actually worked• “People Only” mode filtered out almost all false alerts• Caught motion far down the driveway or sidewalk2. What the new Pro does instead• Only detects motion inside a short bubble in front of the door• Often misses people until they’re very close• Motion Zones don’t help if the doorbell never detects motion in the first place• Recommended mounting height doesn’t match where most doorbells are wired3. Bottom lineThe older Pro detected more, detected earlier, and filtered better.The new Pro detects less, detects later, and hides the downgrade behind marketing terms.Ring could fix this by processing video uploads at the server level and restoring pixel-motion analysis AI-based detection. I recommend you don’t buy this Ring doorbell until they do. Yes, the image sharpness and the improved night vision are fantastic. Love that. But detecting anything outside the 20 to 30 ft bubble sucks big time. I feel like I wasted $250. 🙁

Easy installation… great picture!
Very easy to install. I am a homemaker who loves to save money. You Don’t Need To Hire an Electrician! I did have to replace the doorbell transformer, easy to change. The picture quality is amazing!!
