Amazon Prime Day is here, and one of the best deals you can snag is on the second-generation Ring Video Doorbell. This 1080p video doorbell is currently on sale for only $50, which is half off its original price. It comes equipped with features like motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio, allowing you to communicate with anyone who comes to your door.
What’s great about this Ring model is that it’s battery-powered, making installation a breeze without the need for a complicated wired setup. Simply mount it and connect it to your Wi-Fi network using the Ring app. If you prefer a wired connection, you can still hardwire it to your existing doorbell system to avoid the hassle of occasional recharging.
Once connected to the Ring app, you’ll receive notifications when someone rings the doorbell or triggers its motion sensors. The doorbell is also compatible with Alexa, offering optional announcements when someone arrives at your door. You can even view the live feed or recordings on Echo devices with screens and Fire TV products.
For added convenience, the doorbell features night vision for clearer shots in low light conditions. You can also customize its motion zones to avoid capturing footage of busy areas like streets and sidewalks outside your home.
When you purchase the Ring video doorbell, it comes with a mounting bracket and all the necessary tools for installation. If you’re renting and don’t want to drill holes, consider investing in a third-party mount that attaches to the side of your front door.
In addition to the Ring Video Doorbell, Amazon is offering discounts on other Ring devices and accessories, including bundles with Ring Chime, Ring Stick Up Cam, and more.
