Great video. Feels like an incremental upgrade from plus to pro but didn’t know the plus was only 2.5ghz only bit of a shocker! Thanks for taking the time to line them up.
This is my second time here. I really enjoy your laid-back, no weenies presentation. It's clear, concise, and to the darn point. Thank you my friend. You are a friend that shares indeed. ~Cheers, buddy-boy P.S. - @ 2:00 you got butter fingers...hee hee
What they don't tell you. To review recordings after the trial period requires a subscription. If you are paying the subscription you may as well turn up the sensitivity do nothing is missing, no jumps/people disappearing. Once you turn up sensitivity the battery life is greatly decreased, so needs charging more often. To charge it means unscrewing the unit and bringing it indoors to charge for 6hours or more, during that time there's no doorbell, pretty stupid. Why did they opt to change the battery to be non removable?
The batteries are removable on the new ones. On the old model the entire unit was attached to a mounting bracket so you don’t have to unscrew it every time. It just easily pops off.
@@imanilwilliams that was the original plan, discovered the version I have, the battery is non removable. A bit of fine tuning the settings and the official solar panel, the battery can last well over a month - better than it was.
The one thing I don't like on the new ring doorbell compared to my old one is the fish eye view it displays, it's ridiculous! I understand they do that for a wider view, but that's BS because my 2nd gen basic has a very big full range with absolutely no distortion. Not just that, but the pro version displays everything too far away, making it very hard to make out someone face. Overall, I think the Plus version is the best, but like I stated, the fish eye distorts everything which defeats the purpose of identifying someone who might be standing to the side of the camera. It's for this reason why I don't buy the new version. Sorry, but it's a hard pass!
Thanks for explaining that. I was thinking about upgrading from the plus to the pro, but I don't know. What do you think about the 3D motion detection and preroll features?
@@imanilwilliams In my opinion, you’re better of setting the motion to how you need it and forget 3D motion, I think it's nothing more than another gimmick, just sayin'.
no, I like it alot, but is it worth the extra expense, the pro models are alot more expesive so it comes down is it worth the extra expense. if you have a problem with people around your house then I would say yes. it does give you a quick look of everywhere that person has been but each device needs the birds eye view.

@@AdeptusChaoticus the problem with that is that a thief could pilfer the battery 😕
Just buy multiple batteries. And it's better it's not easy to take out for tampering.

great video, thanks. this helped me make my decision on which one to choose
Green doorbell generation two versus generation four

Will it ring your existing door bell chime if the wires are connected???
the plus i know for sure does but you have to enable it in the app, its disabled by default.
yes
Mm. Do you think birds eye is gimmicky???
Bump this comment, looking at plus vs pro
@@PakZa808 so I bought the plus. It’s definitely an improvement over the first battery ring. Better clarity. The ring itself works the same.
no, I like it alot, but is it worth the extra expense, the pro models are alot more expesive so it comes down is it worth the extra expense. if you have a problem with people around your house then I would say yes. it does give you a quick look of everywhere that person has been but each device needs the birds eye view.
@@justadadtips Great information. Thanks for coming back with a reply.
How often do you charge the battery
I charge mine about once a week I can get longer just depends on traffic moving past triggering the motion detection
Thanks mine the first best dad ever 🥇🥇🥇
