“This launch marks an important step forward for Ring across Australia, reflecting our continued focus on innovation and customer choice. With a more versatile lineup spanning 4K video, battery, wired and solar-powered options, we’re enabling customers to tailor their setup to suit their home and lifestyle. It underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable technology that enhances how people stay connected to their homes,” says Mark Fletcher, APAC Managing Director for Ring.

 

Premium 4K Video Clarity

Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is Ring's most advanced battery-powered doorbell to date. It features Retinal 4K video and delivers up to 10x Enhanced Zoom, capturing front-door activity, packages, and other details with greater clarity day or night. 

A redesigned internal architecture powers Ring’s fastest-charging battery to date, helping the device stay up and running while supporting high-resolution video and advanced features. The result is front-door security that installs virtually anywhere without rewiring. 

Ring is also introducing Wired Video Doorbell Elite (2nd Gen), which features Retinal 4K and 10X Enhanced Zoom, true colour video in low light, smarter motion alerts, and remote access control – all with native Power over Ethernet for reliable, always-on connectivity. 

 

Three New 2K Doorbells

Alongside the 4K doorbells, Ring is introducing three new Retinal 2K doorbells at different price points and installation types: 

  • Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) features a Quick Release Battery Pack, making it faster and easier to recharge while delivering sharp 2K video. 
  • Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) offers clear 2K video and up to 6x Enhanced Zoom in a streamlined, rechargeable design. 
  • Wired Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) includes Retinal 2K Video and is designed for homes with existing doorbell wiring. 

Solar Accessories for Continuous Power and Flexible Installation

Ring is also introducing new solar accessories designed to extend battery life and provide more flexible installation options for battery-powered doorbells. Available at launch, these accessories support Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen), Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen), and Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen).

 

Ring Doorbell Solar Charger integrates directly into the mounting design, allowing customers to mount their doorbell on top of the charger. With just 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day, Solar Charger helps keep doorbells charged with minimal maintenance.

 

Ring Doorbell Solar Panel extends the life of the Doorbell battery by delivering continuous power, reducing the need for manual recharging. Designed with higher power output to support more advanced doorbells, Solar Panel helps minimise interruptions to home monitoring. Its flexible installation options – including roof mounting and adjustable angles – enable optimal solar exposure and efficient charging performance. 

 

Get even more from your Doorbell with a Ring Protect 

With a Ring Protect plan, you get access to video recording and enhanced features for your doorbell, offering greater control and visibility over what’s happening at home. 

With a Ring Protect plan, customers can: 

  • Get Video Descriptions that summarise motion activity in plain language, so you can understand what happened without opening your Ring app or watching the full clip. 
  • Access Video Search using keywords like “person,” “package,” or “car” to find specific moments faster. 
  • Review recorded events for longer with up to 180 days of video history, making it easy to revisit important events. 
  • Use Extended Live View to stay connected to what’s happening in real time for longer. 

By pairing high-resolution video with these added capabilities, a Ring subscription helps turn everyday footage into more useful information so customers can stay informed without scrolling through clips.
