I bought my first home a few years back and the first thing I did was install the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) . Since then, it’s been reliable at keeping tabs with everything going on around my front door from delivery packages to the occasional critter sneaking its way through my lawn — and even letting me know when my robot lawn mower is slacking off.

Definitely looks a little bit fancier than some of the older Ring doorbells in my opinion.

I had the original Ring Doorbell Pro (Gen 1) and upgraded to the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (Video Doorbell Pro 2) and have no complaints after 5 years. I use the Unofficial Ring Integration & IFTTT for HE motion and doorbell ring -> Integration.

This model has now been supplanted by the Wired Video Doorbell Pro (3rd) gen, which offers 4K video, which delivers a much sharper quality. But, the 2nd-gen model, while on its way out, will give you a good value for the price.
