The Memorial Day sales are currently underway, offering significant discounts for those interested in enhancing their home technology. One noteworthy offer is the updated 2024 Ring Video Doorbell, now priced at $55, which is $45 below its usual cost.
This model operates on a battery, eliminating the need for any complex wiring setup. Recharging the device is straightforward; users simply need to detach it and connect it using a USB-C cable when needed.
The latest version of the Ring Video Doorbell features a head-to-toe view, providing 66% more vertical coverage than previous models. It offers a live view function that streams real-time video to smartphones, tablets, or other compatible devices. Additionally, a two-way talk feature enables communication with visitors from any location.
Users receive real-time alerts on their phones when movement is detected by the doorbell’s motion sensor. However, to access more precise alerts—such as distinguishing between a visitor, a package delivery, or other events—a subscription to a Ring Home plan, starting at $5 per month, is required. The subscription also includes access to a 180-day video event history, with a premium tier available for $20 per month that provides 24/7 recording for all compatible devices.
Other Ring products are also discounted for Memorial Day. The pan-and-tilt Ring Indoor Cam is available for $60, reflecting a 25% discount. Similarly, a five-piece Ring Alarm Kit can be purchased for $150, also at a 25% discount.
