The basic design of the video doorbell 3 hardly differs from its predecessor, but Zatz reports that the front plate of the new model is easier to remove. It has a motion sensor nearby to reduce false alarms. and it will have 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (only 2.4 GHz is available on video doorbell 2).
It is not clear when Video Doorbell 3 will be available, and Zatz notes that no product support for Ring’s Sidewalk network standard or Apple HomeKit support was mentioned on the product page (which does not mean that it does not included, except that neither was mentioned). .
