Ring makes some of the top video doorbells around — and many of them regularly land on our CNET expert’s picks for best security cameras. If you’ve been thinking about adding an extra layer of security to your home but don’t want to jump into a full system just yet, we spotted a deal that makes it easy to start small. Right now, you can grab the all-new Ring Battery Doorbell bundled with the 2nd-gen Ring Indoor Cam for just $80 (down from $140).
The updated battery doorbell has 66% more vertical coverage than the previous model, so you can see everything from head to toe. It’s great for keeping an eye on visitors and deliveries. It also has features like live view and two-way talk, real-time alerts and motion detection.
Pair all this with the included compact Ring indoor cam, and you will be able to monitor the insides of your home just as well. Both devices work with the Ring app and are Alexa-compatible, so you can ask your Echo Show to pull up the front door view with a simple voice command.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Setup is straightforward as well; connect your doorbell to the Ring app and mount it. It is also easily removable for when you want to charge it. For more advanced features, you might want to consider subscribing to the Ring Protect plan (sold separately). This unlocks extras like person and package alerts and 180-day video history.
