Among other announcements at the Amazon event was one important piece of information: the Ring video doorbell will finally feature package detection However, this feature is not available on all Ring video doorbells Below is what we know about the Ring video doorbell's luggage detection and when it will be available

As someone who has reviewed most of the best video doorbells, one of the features I have come to appreciate the most is luggage detection I receive a lot of packages in the course of my work, but my home office is in the attic, which is two stories higher than the front door

During the pandemic, deliveries only increased, further increasing the likelihood of my packages being stolen by balcony pirates - another reason this feature became more valuable

Google's video doorbells (Nest Doorbell and Nest Hello) have the Arlo Video Doorbell, as well as the Doorbell, have a luggage detection feature Nest goes further and notifies when luggage has been removed, alerting the user to the possibility that something has been stolen

For a long time, Ring's video doorbells have lacked this feature, a curious omission given the company's prominence among video doorbell manufacturers

Therefore, it is gratifying that Ring has finally added a package detection feature However, this feature will initially only be available on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 and Ring Video Doorbell (2020), and the company says it hopes to make it available on more models in the coming year

In addition, to use the package detection feature, users must subscribe to a Ring Protect Basic, Plus, or Pro plan Below is a comparison of Ring's plans to Best Security Camera Storage Plans
