Overview
- Ring has opened pre-orders for the Peephole Cam 2K at about $99 with two color options listed at an additional $10, and the company says units will ship in mid-to-late August.
- The new model upgrades video from 1080p to 2K, adds tracking improvements and a 140-degree field of view to better capture and follow visitors at the door.
- The device keeps a two-part design that replaces a door’s peephole, removes the interior preview screen, and uses a removable battery that Ring estimates will last roughly 120 days between charges.
- Out-of-the-box features include real-time motion alerts and region-based motion settings, while longer event storage and package-detection alerts are only available through the paid Ring Protect plan.
- The Peephole Cam 2K revives Ring’s renter-friendly peephole form factor after the earlier Door View Cam was discontinued and aims to offer easy, no-drill installation and a lower upfront price for tenants and casual users.
