I was equally impressed by the Pros video quality.

It was only when I started zooming in that this key in of blockiness started occurring.
Two-way audio worked well on all the devices I tested it on.
The Pros internal mic did a nice job of filtering out wind noise and other distracting sounds.

The second clip is what the Pro sounds like outside, complete with cars and passersby.
I highly recommend doing so, because this feature is amazing.
Birds Eye Zones use aerial radar to capture movement info on subjects that cross into your detection zones.

Any motion that falls outside a Birds Eye Zone is ignored.
One of my favorite parts of the app is how it organizes recordings on an easy-to-use timeline.
I also thought the playback controls were intuitive, and loved having the ability to skip between clips.

Another cool feature was the Event Summary page.
Additional customizations can be found on the main controls page for the Battery Doorbell Pro.
Just tap the little gear icon in the top-right of the live view thumbnail.

If motion fell outside the scheduled alerts window, it wouldnt be detected or recorded.
This is also where youll be able to customize privacy, notification, and general tweaks.
I run an Alexa-powered smart home and was able to add the Battery Doorbell Pro to the Alexa app.

The Pro is compatible with IFTTT applets too.
I wanted to create an Alexa Routine to see if the doorbell could carry out a simple automation.
Alexa would also automatically open a live view on my Echo Show 5 when the bell was rung.
