Unfortunately, package thieves are out there, and every time you get a package delivered to your home, you run the rink of someone seeing it and taking it. Now, the Ring Pro 2 and Ring Video Doorbell (2020) will alert you when a package shows up, so you can take the steps needed to get it inside.
Of course, the big issue Ring doorbells have is the field of view, which this update won’t fix. The Ring Pro 2 can see the ground, but the other cameras lack a wide enough angle to see everything. That means if the package is placed too low, it won’t detect it even with the new feature.

Unfortunately, Custom Alerts aren’t coming to existing RIng devices. Instead, only the Spotlight Cam Battery will get this feature.
If you want to take advantage of either of these new Ring features, you will need to pay $3 per month or $30 per year for a Ring Protect plan.
