Smart doorbell company Ring has launched an updated basic model in its battery-powered line, the Ring Battery Doorbell, with feature upgrades to match some of the company’s higher-end products at a lower price point. Promising a 23% improvement in battery life over its previous iteration, the Ring Battery Doorbell also includes a new pin-push mount for easier installation and recharging. Featuring Head-to-Toe HD video and color night vision, the device offers vertical visibility and the same motion-detection and real-time alerts as other Ring products, with compatibility with Alexa devices. Available for preorder today for $100, the Ring Battery Doorbell will start shipping on September 4 from both the company’s website and Amazon. Customers can also opt for a subscription package for smart alerts and detailed notifications.
