Video Quality
The Ring Video Doorbell (2020) camera has been improved to offer quality video. This video doorbell features 1920 x 1080 video, night vision functionality for visibility at night and in low-light conditions, and a 160° field of view.
It has adjustable motion sensors that allow you to select the setting you desire for your home from the comfort of your mobile device via the free Ring app. A built-in microphone and speakers with noise cancellation allow you to listen and respond to those at your front door. It uses infrared LEDs to capture black-and-white night video.
The devices have a night vision feature that allows you to see through the camera in low light conditions. By using infrared light, the camera can create a black and white image that is then beamed to the Live View in your app.
By turning the color night vision feature on, the camera will use whatever ambient light is available to try and create a “false color” image in your Live View. This lets you get a better sense of what’s happening in the image by creating a false sense of color depth.
