Ring Video Doorbell 2 review: Higher res and easier to recharge, but just as bulky

Ring's second-generation video doorbell adds a quick release rechargeable battery and boosts video resolution from 720p to 1080p. It remains one of the only video doorbells that can provide its own power instead of relying on your home's existing wiring. Like the previous version we tested, we set up the Ring Video Doorbell 2 in its wireless configuration, mounting the unit in the same, somewhat awkward, location outside our front door. While much of the setup process remains the same, one key difference is the addition of a removable lithium ion battery. This means you can physically install the doorbell while waiting for the battery to charge.
