In the UK, Ring sells this battery doorbell as the Battery Video Doorbell 2K. It records 2K video, connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with no hub, and runs on a rechargeable battery, and Ring says it can also be hardwired. Alexa is the one ecosystem Ring documents, with announcements, two-way talk and live view on Echo Show. Saved video needs a Ring Protect plan.
