It has also launched three 2K doorbells (two battery-powered and one wired)
All the battery doorbells are compatible with a new Ring Solar Charger

Amazon has just unveiled a battery-powered 4K video doorbell for ultra-sharp images, with no wires. Like the wired version that launched last year, the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) features Retinal 4K video, 10x zoom, improved night vision, and according to Ring, "installs virtually anywhere without rewiring".

It has an extra-fast charging quick-release battery pack, and with a Ring AI Pro subscription, you'll get access to features like AI video descriptions that tell you exactly what's happening before you check the footage, and let you search for specific events rather than scrubbing through recordings. The Wired Video Doorbell Pro has a list price of $249.99 / £219.99 (about AU$360).

There are also three new 2K video doorbells in the mix. If you're looking for something wireless, you can take your pick from the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) and the Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen), which cost $179.99 / £149.99 (about AU$260) and $99.99 / £79.99 (about AU$149) respectively.

If you already have doorbell wiring, there's also a new version of the Ring Wired Video Doorbell, which is the most affordable option at $79.99 / £59.99 (about AU$120).

Three Ring video doorbells mounted on walls

Want a wireless doorbell, but worried about battery life? Ring has also launched a new solar charger, which is compatible with all of its new battery doorbells. The sensibly-named Ring Solar Charger can be mounted anywhere, with the doorbell installed on top, and is priced at $49.99 (about £38 / AU£70).

The new doorbells and charger are available to pre-order now in the US and the UK. I'm hoping to put the new models through their paces very soon to find out whether they deserve a place in TechRadar's roundup of the best video doorbells. Stay tuned for more details.
