August Home initially announced its new Doorbell Cam Pro a few weeks back, but as of today, it's now shipping. Whether you pre-ordered one after the announcement, or you're only just starting to consider a smart doorbell, now you won't have to wait to pick one up. This new 'Pro' model also has a few new features worth considering over the original Doorbell Cam.The Doorbell Cam Pro has an integrated flood light to better capture video at night, which can be used as a deterrent via motion detection. It has a new feature called HindSight, which records video before people approach as well as after, even if they don't end up pressing the doorbell.

August Video Recording via the August app allows you to replay, download, and share recordings made by the Doorbell Cam Pro. The new model even has improved video quality, as well as the two-way audio and one-way video you expect. So the next time someone rings your doorbell, you can see if it's a package that needs to be signed for or a friend that's come by to hang out, all from the convenience of your phone. If you'll be a few minutes, you can even let them know. It also integrates with the August Smart Lock Pro and August Smart Lock over Bluetooth low energy, so you can effortlessly unlock and lock the door remotely, too.

The August Doorbell Cam Pro is available for immediate purchase at retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and August.com. Keep in mind, if you pick one up, that you'll likely need to sign up for August Video Recording for $4.99 a month, or $49.99 for a one-year plan.
