Among all the other announcements at the Amazon Event was one crucial tidbit: Band video doorbells are finally getting bundle detection. However, this feature won't be bachelor on all Band video doorbells. Here's what we know about package detection on Ring video doorbells, and when it'due south coming.

As someone who'south reviewed most of the best video doorbells, one feature I've come to prize above most is package detection. As part of my chore, I receive a lot of packages, and since my dwelling house office is in my attic — two flights up from the front door — information technology's squeamish to know if I need to trundle down the stairs to pick up something.

During the pandemic, deliveries have merely increased, further raising the possibility that my packages could be stolen by porch pirates — another reason why this feature has become more than valuable

Both of Google'south video doorbells (the Nest Doorbell and the Nest Hello) have package detection, as does the Arlo Video Doorbell. The Nest even goes one further and notifies you when a bundle has been removed, alerting you to the possibility that something has been swiped.

For the longest time, Ring video doorbells have not had this feature, a curious omission given the visitor's prominence among video doorbell makers.

So, I'k glad to see Ring is finally adding package detection. However, the feature will just be available initially on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro two and Band Video Doorbell (2020); the company says it hopes to make it available on more models side by side year.

Also, in order to utilise the package-detection feature, yous'll take to subscribe to a Band Protect Basic, Plus or Pro program. Here's how Band's plans compare to the all-time security camera storage plans.

We plan to test out packet detection before long enough; one affair we like about the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 is its more vertically oriented image, which lets you see more of your front end stoop closer to your door — where packages are nearly likely to exist dropped.
