This is the most expensive smart doorbell we tested, costing around $250, about $75 more than average. Unlike Ring's cheaper doorbells, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro doesn't have a battery backup, which means you need to connect it to a traditional doorbell or other compatible power source within your home. As with Ring's other doorbells, you can get excellent smart home options and cloud video storage for as low as $3 a month.
