The latest version of the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro is a huge step up, and easy to recommend if you don't mind the subscription

The second-generation Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus is a step up rather than a token refresh. The jump to 2K Retinal resolution, HDR, 6x Enhanced Zoom and true-colour low-light sight sharpens what Ring already did better than most: the head-to-toe view that frames a courier and parcel in one shot. Add a quick-release battery that takes the misery out of recharging, and it's one of the easiest premium doorbells to live with. Familiar caveats apply: the best features need a subscription, and buying into Ring means buying into Amazon's wider surveillance ecosystem. Accept both, and it's an excellent front-door upgrade.
