It also allows users to answer the door via phone with a video call, reducing the need to actually get up for checking duties (should one actually want to do that, of course).

Further features include night video capture and the optional subscription-based storage of up to 6 months of video on the cloud. As mentioned earlier the Pro provides configurable motion detection zones, with the companion app allowing users to "draw" zones the doorbell should monitor most closely.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro ships from May 2016.
