What customers say about "Key Specs"
August AB-R2 Doorbell Cam Pro 2nd generation
- Works well most of the time. I'm not happy with the time delay to access the video as it is uploading to the server.
- Works with existing doorbell transformer and setup was super easy, so no real complaints here.
- The video field of view isn't as wide as the Ring but the August Doorbell camera video isn't as distorted either.
- Lastly, connectivity has been improving since I first started using the doorbell.

Ring Video Doorbell Pro
- Everything works flawlessly and the speaker sounds great. Images and video during day and night are clear.
- I find the video quality to be great and I can easily identify who is at the door night and day.
- he video quality is good if you have a very strong wifi connection but even then can still be choppy at times when on live view and the two way audio lags and can be choppy.
- Only as good as your internet connection. Sunrise and sunset motion detects. Sound quality is useless in my experience.
- The video was running in 780p (when it worked properly) and it was fantastic to adjust the motion settings and set zones so that not every passing car or falling leaves would trigger an alert/recording event.

What customers say about "Features"
August AB-R2 Doorbell Cam Pro 2nd generation
- Build Quality - no concerns there. I like the styling a lot and the wedge feature to mount the doorbell however you feel is appropriate for your front door space.
- The 2nd generation just includes additional features that improve upon the previous version. Installation is better with the addition of a docking station for joining wifi.
- My favorite feature is the motion activated LED that turns on when you walk up to your door.
- The motion detection only worked up to about five feet.
- Every time someone rings my bell it takes forever for the live feature and it’s always going offline.
Ring Video Doorbell Pro
- It has some useful features such as the motion sensor and a slightly serviceable live feed
- There is the standard light/sound unavoidable physics-type delay with the audio using the Talk feature, but it doesn't impede normal conversational flow.
- I like the motion area setup. You've got digital fences to move around to direct where to trigger on motion (walkway) and where not (street).
- Installation. Easy, no problems. I installed the doorbell myself in place of an existing doorbell and chime, and it went smoothly. The instructions were clear and adequate.
- I’ve also noticed our voice connection is VERY quiet. As in, the person at the door can barely hear the person on the phone, so I consider that feature a bit useless.
