With its increased vertical coverage, this doorbell camera makes it easy to see when your packages arrive. It also lets you see your pets and other small animals that previous generations of video doorbells would have left out of viewing range. The clear HD live view and two-way talk gives you the ability to connect with visitors at your door, no matter if you’re busy in the kitchen or out of town. You can also set up “Smart Alerts” to your mobile device so you’re notified anytime there is motion detected at your door.

One of the best features of this camera is that it’s easy to install. Since it’s battery powered, you can set it up in minutes, and it only requires you to charge it with the convenient USB-C port. You then wirelessly connect it to your smart device, and you’re done. And if you’ve got Amazon’s Alexa, you can easily connect and receive notifications on your other devices. It’s also compatible with the Echo Dot and Echo Show.

The Ring Home subscription, which is sold separately ($9.99/mo), lets you video record 24/7, rewind video and get instant alerts for visitors and package drop-offs. Many customers find these features helpful. One reviewer explains, “It seamlessly connects to live feed and records all motion detected videos without a hitch.” Another reviewer says, “It’s practical, convenient and a great way to add security to my home without the stress of installation.”

The Ring video doorbell is ideal for anyone who is new to smart doorbell technology or who just doesn’t want the hassle of a wired doorbell because of its ease of setup, wider viewing range and compatibility with many other smart home devices. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s 40% off on Amazon right now, making it a record low price. So grab this great deal on smart home security while you can.
