Ring Video Doorbell Pro review: For some, its performance will justify its higher price tag

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is a smaller and smarter member of Ring's popular video doorbell family. It's $50 more expensive than Ring's second-generation battery-powered device, but this additional investment could considerably cut down on the number of false alerts you receive and leave you a much more satisfied owner. That's what happened to me when I swapped out the Ring Video Doorbell 2 for the Pro version. The secret to the Pro's porch success at my house is its more complex detection zone setup. The Ring Video Doorbell 2's motion detection is based on passive infrared sensors that look for moving heat sources, such as humans, animals, and cars.
