Today we're looking at the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus — the video doorbell that put the whole category on the map. But is it worth it? Let's be honest.
It's a wire-free, battery-powered video doorbell with a tall head-to-toe view, motion alerts, two-way talk, and a genuinely easy install that anyone can do without an electrician.
The genuine strength is convenience and coverage. The head-to-toe field of view shows packages on the step, the battery means no wiring, and the app alerts and two-way talk are reliably useful day to day.
The honest caveat is the subscription: most of the good stuff — saved recordings, richer alerts — lives behind Ring Protect, and the always-recording front door raises real privacy questions worth thinking through.
This is for renters and homeowners who want an easy package-and-visitor camera without hardwiring. Clean and family-safe, with meaningful subscription and privacy trade-offs.
My verdict? Worth it — eighty-four out of a hundred. The easiest doorbell cam to live with, subscription and all. That's Penny's take. See you at the next one.
