Very easy to install, Rechargeable battery is a useful alternative to hardwiring, Shoots pretty crisp 1080p video (if at low frame-rate), Works nicely with Alexa and the Echo Show
Video can be quite blocky and jerky, Needs a strong Wi-Fi signal (or the additional Chime Pro), No free video storage option
If you regularly miss visitors or courier deliveries and want to add an extra layer of security to your home, then the Video Doorbell 2 is a potentially worthy buy – particularly if you want to avoid hardwiring it into your wall. But its performance and...

easy to install and set up, solid app, great as basic doorbell, great as a camera from your door, attractive, no wiring required, lots of accessories and options
battery needs charging once a month, can't use local storage for video, quite large for some door frames, expensive for a doorbell
The Ring Video Doorbell 2 is one of those rare smart home devices that just works and works at least as well as the “dumb” equivalent, but with much more capability.It acts as another barrier between you and the outside world, and works perfectly well sim...

Very easy to install, Works perfectly, Excellent 1080P video quality
Doorbell ringtones still can't be adjusted, Doorbell won't always reconnect to Wi-Fi after power cut, Video recording features require paid subscription
Is the Ring 2 Video Doorbell worth buying?The Ring Video Doorbell 2 at £179 adds to what was an already superb product with the original Ring via the addition of 1080P video and a removable battery pack. If you are looking to beef up your home security or...
Removable battery is a necessary addition, camera footage is vibrant and clear, additional mounts/fascias included for unusual doorways
Slight delay in motion/ring alerts, needs to be fairly close to router, no in-home chime/ring without buying Chime Pro
The original Ring Doorbell was the market-leader in smart video doorbells. The second-generation looks to keep up this success by improving on a number of areas - a removable battery, 1080p capture and included mounts/fascias - but there's no significant...
