Our verdict

The Pro 2's 3D radar-based motion detection is genuinely effective at cutting false alerts, and 1536p is the sharpest video in this comparison. What independent reviewers flag consistently is the subscription: most of what makes a Ring smart — not just clips, but the features people actually buy it for — sits behind Ring Protect, adding roughly $240 a year on top of the $250 hardware price. Budget for the subscription before you budget for the doorbell.
