• 155° Field of View , Much Wider than Before Pro2 has much wider 155° field of view (FoV) than it did when we owned an old Arlo or Wyze Camera. Before Arlo connected to WiFi in a circuitous manner with much parts that did not look or work very reliable, but still sold thousands of units are pretty amazed by the FoV Pro2 provides building two cameras around the back of our house. 
• Head-to-Toe Viewing: Head-to-ToeViewingFor more safety and comfort, the Pro 2 can view the visitors from head to toe, which offers a bigger angle and more facial details for accurate face recognition. Sometimes, it is that extra detail that could help you notice a suspicious individual or a dear friend. Sure that no detail will miss your eyes now.
• Smart Motion Detection: The motion detection built into the Pro 2 is not at all basic, by the way – its high-tech sensor manages to distinguish objects so you get notified of people and packages only, or whatever combination you’d like (you can set up your motion detectors so that the Pro 2 specifically picks up on humans only, packages only, or a combination of both). So you will now be notified, as much as you like, about what matters.
• Bird’s Eye View: Enable bird’s eye view with the Ring Chime Pro 2 accessory; now see extra areas with a panoramic view of your surroundings without the visibility of your camera. Experience an additional set of eyes for unrivalled awareness and security – including advance notice before people arrive at your door.
• Color Night Vision: You see a lot. You see a whole lot. You do a whole lot. This camera even has Color Night Vision so that even when it is pitch black outside, you can still see exactly what you are doing because it will show you in color, not with horrible grainy black and white photos. No matter what time of day it is or night it is, you will never miss a detail and you will have peace of mind.
• Two-Way Audio: Not all alarm systems allow two-way audio communication with visitors to your door, but with verified entry, the Pro 2 does. This means you can speak to visitors at your door – both in person, whether they’re already on the front porch or out in the front yard – and virtually, through your smartphone. 
• Improved Security: The Pro 2 comes with world-class security built into its DNA. For example, your video feed is encrypted to make it as secure as possible, while two-factor authentication monitors unauthorised access to your account, so you can worry less about your data and privacy. Ring cares about your security, with multiple layers of protection in place to keep the data secure and protect your privacy.
• Alexa voice control integration: The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 can be integrated with Alexa. That means that within your existing smart home setup, you can control your doorbell entirely through your voice. In addition to all the convenience that smart homes promise, you can now ask Alexa to display the feed from the doorbell on any Echo device in your home, or to initiate a two-way conversation with whoever are at your door.
