Its excellent video quality shows enough detail day and night, even though it didn't perform as well as some competitors in our testing. The removable battery pack is easier to charge than the original Ring's battery, which required removing the entire unit from the wall. Aside from hardware differences between the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and its predecessor, both products work the same on the software side, though the Ring mobile app reacts more quickly to the Ring 2. While there's no free video storage option like the ones from August and SkyBell, Ring's cloud storage prices are the lowest in our comparison, starting at $3 a month per doorbell camera. However, if you choose Ring's most expensive plan, you get a lifetime warranty and can store footage from an unlimited number of cameras. The Ring Video Doorbell 2 doesn't let you silence your doorbell chime like with Ring Pro, August, Nest and SkyBell.
