Ring Battery Doorbell 2K

#2 in AI security camerasBest doorbell
The doorbell I'd buy. It runs on a battery, and with a plan Ring's AI writes what triggered each alert and spots familiar faces.
What’s good
- Battery powered, no wiring needed
- AI text descriptions of each alert
- Head-to-toe 140° x 140° view
Heads-up
- AI features need a plan, $9.99/month and up
- Familiar Faces is unavailable in IL, TX and Portland
