Amazon offering up to 40% off best-selling Ring doorbells and cameras

Amazon is offering deals on some of its bestselling gadgets this week with up to 40% off a range of devices.

Shoppers have the chance to snap up a selection of products from popular security brand Ring at reduced prices, including doorbells and cameras. There are dozens of the devices included in the Amazon sale, with prices starting from £39.99.

Ring products work by using your home Wi-Fi to connect to the free Ring app, which you can download onto your phone or tablet and check up on your home in real time. With a Ring doorbell, for example, you can use the Ring app to see who's at your door and even talk to them, while Ring security cameras send an alert to your phone when they detect activity to help protect your home from intruders.

The cheapest device included in the Amazon deal is the Ring Indoor Cam, which currently has a price tag of just £39.99 with 20% off. The compact WiFi-enabled camera can be placed anywhere in your home to keep an eye on things when you're away, and has over 3,000 five-star reviews on Amazon from impressed shoppers.

The Ring Outdoor Cam is also in the sale with a third off, priced at £59.99. This wireless weather-resistant device can be mounted "almost anywhere" outside your home and allows you to see, hear and speak to visitors, with a rating of 4.6 out of five stars on Amazon based on more than 16,000 reviews.

The popular second-generation Ring Video Doorbell is also on offer for £59.99, a third off its usual price of £89.99. The doorbell comes with a built-in security camera that offers 1080p HD video footage which you can watch live from your phone or tablet, and is the number one bestseller on Amazon's DIY section.

Features such as viewing footage live, talking to people at your door and receiving instant notifications via the Ring app are all included in the price, but there is the option to subscribe to Ring's Protect Plan from £3.49 per month per device which allows you to view recordings back.

With nearly 50,000 five-star ratings from shoppers, the video doorbell - which can be connected to Alexa devices - has been praised as a low-cost option for keeping your home safe and secure. One reviewer hailed it as "the best doorbell camera by a landslide", while others praised it as "brilliant" and fantastic".

"I've tried for the past year one of the cheaper unnamed doorbells and to be honest it was awful. Spotted Ring had discounted this and the difference is huge," another shopper said. "Crystal clear display, better actual recordings, love the auto response and battery life very good."

"After having a burglary recently I decided to buy this Ring doorbell. It’s absolutely the best thing I've ever bought and I would highly recommend," a third Amazon customer said.
