Key Features

1) Head-to-Toe HD+ Video (1536p): see visitors and packages

Battery Doorbell Plus uses a taller Head-to-Toe view with 1536p HD+ so you can see more of what’s happening from the doorstep down to the floor—helpful for spotting deliveries placed close to the door.

2) Color Night Vision for clearer nighttime check-ins

When it gets dark, Color Night Vision helps you identify what’s happening at your door with better clarity than standard black-and-white night vision (lighting conditions still matter).

3) Advanced Motion Detection + Custom Motion Zones

You can fine-tune where motion is detected using Customizable Motion Zones, helping reduce unwanted alerts from sidewalks, streets, or moving trees.

4) Two-Way Talk + Quick Replies

Speak to visitors from your phone using Two-Way Talk, and use Quick Replies when you can’t get to the door (Ring notes Quick Replies are English-only in some regions).

5) Person + Package detection (subscription required)

Battery Doorbell Plus supports Person and Package detection, but Ring states a compatible Ring subscription is required (terms apply).

Power Options

(Battery, Hardwiring, Plug-in, Solar)

Battery-powered convenience (removable Quick-Release Battery Pack)

The included Quick-Release Battery Pack is removable—so you can swap/charge without taking the whole doorbell down (great if you keep a spare battery).

Hardwire to existing doorbell wiring (trickle charge + optional chime support)

Ring states you can hardwire battery-powered doorbells to:

receive power / a trickle charge from compatible wiring/transformer, and
trigger a compatible in-home chime when pressed (with compatible setup).

Ring lists transformer requirements for Battery Doorbell Plus as 8–24 VAC, 50/60Hz, 5VA to 40VA when connecting to an existing doorbell system.

Plug-In Adapter option (no battery swapping)

If you prefer always-on power without using your existing chime wiring, Ring supports using a Ring Plug-In Adapter. Ring also notes that when using a plug-in adapter, you should set chime type to No chime / None in the app.

Solar option (compatible models + sunlight requirements)

Battery Doorbell Plus is listed as compatible with Solar Charger for Battery Doorbells (fork connector).
Ring notes that with 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day, a solar charger can help keep a battery doorbell charged longer (placement and sun exposure matter).

Wi-Fi + Performance Requirements

Battery Doorbell Plus connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) (not 5GHz). Ring recommends at least 2.5 Mbps upload for optimal performance (minimum 1 Mbps).

If your doorbell location has weak Wi-Fi, you may see delayed notifications or reduced video performance—so strong signal at the front door is important.
