- Homes where the 5 GHz band reaches the door better than 2.4 GHz

- Homes with doorbell wiring who would rather never charge a battery (see the Wired 2K Plus)
Key Details
What the Plus Adds
Three upgrades over the standard model are worth paying for if they apply to you. The battery slides out, so you charge it inside while the doorbell stays mounted, and a spare pack means no downtime. The camera adds HDR and Ring's true-color low-light mode, which keeps color in dim light before switching to black-and-white night vision. And it connects on Wi-Fi 6 at 2.4 or 5 GHz, where the standard model is 2.4 GHz only.
It is also IP55 rated and ships with a corner kit for angling the camera toward a walkway.

Bottom Line
