Just swapped my Ring Pro for the new Ring Pro 2. I swapped the power adapter and installed the doorbell. Fairly easy install. The video quality is absolute garbage. It’s pixelated, delayed, dropped frames. Had no problems with the quality on the 1st gen. Signal is good since I have an Orbi 3 station set up and Ring alarm with a range extender nearby. Device health shows RSSI -57. Checked internet bandwidth, 316Mbps down, 10Mbps up.

I’ve had similar issues with pixelated images as well as connectivity issues. Coming from a Ring Pro that’s been functioning perfectly for the last year, the new Ring Pro 2 has given me nothing but a headache, so it’s being returned. Not impressed.

I received my new doorbell pro 2 yesterday and I was unable to activate. After calling ring support they informed me that ring is not supporting installations until later April. Why will Amazon sell the doorbell and ring not supporting the install. I am missing something? I have the latest app and when I scan the code it gives an error so I installed and then try to activate also with an error.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Ring App when installing. I was able to install mine ok. The issues I have seen so far with the Pro 2 are the LED light around the button is no where near bright enough. I had a battery powered Ring before this and the light when pressed was MUCH brighter. I could hardly see it on the Pro 2 when installing to see if it was in setup mode etc. Also on the Pro 2 the LED glows at night but again its just not bright enough. I don't think it as bright as it was in the Pro 1. I have a neighbour with the Pro 1 and it seems MUCH brighter at night. I have also had issues with live view not connecting but I have noticed some other threads with similar and think this is an app issue more than a doorbell issue. I suspect there will be firmware releases soon for the Pro 2 to iron out any bugs with video quality.

Same issue as the poster above; the new LED light on the Pro 2 is really dim in the sunlight. Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer the protect subscription from my old doorbell to the new Pro 2? I only have one device and would prefer not to be forced up to the Plus plan.

Installed mine and unfortunately be returning it and swapping back to my original Pro Positives - bigger field of view is great, the pre-roll for motion also great Negatives - the night time vision is incredibly poor, unable to setup 3D Motion due to the Satellite picture being that blurred I can't even make out anything in the picture, LEDs as others mentioned too dim, video quality seems worse than the original
