Ring Video Doorbell 3 – Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus
The new Ring Video Doorbell 3 – Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus will be better at letting you know who’s coming to your door
The rumors were true: Ring announced two new video doorbells, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 and the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus, which look like its predecessor, but come with a few new features that will make it easier to connect to your home network, see people as they approach your house, and cut down on false alerts.
Ring Video Doorbell 3: New features
The Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus have the same design as the Ring Video Doorbell 2, as well as the same 1080p camera resolution and field of view. However, both of the new models will have dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi, which should help with video transmission.
We’ve seen from experience that the places you’d want to install a video doorbell aren’t always in a place with a strong Wi-Fi signal. While Ring does sell a Wi-Fi extender Chime Pro (which it’s also updating), having a better radio in the video doorbell itself would help.
Both new video doorbells have a new “near” motion zone that works from 5 to 15 feet in front of your door. The biggest annoyance with any video doorbell is a false alert — getting a notification that someone’s out front, when in reality the video doorbell saw a car drive by. If you live on a busy street, you often have to dial down the motion sensitivity pretty far. Hopefully, this new up-close motion zone will go a long way in eliminating this hassle.
