This version of the Ring Video Doorbell provides a head-to-toe view of the person who’s on your doorstep, as it offers 66 percent more vertical coverage than the previous model. The live view feature delivers a real-time feed from the camera to your phone, tablet or other compatible device. There’s a two-way talk function as well, so you can chat with the person at your door no matter where you are.
You can receive real-time alerts on your phone whenever the Ring Video Doorbell picks up movement through its motion-detection function. However, you’ll need to pony up for a Ring Home plan (starting at $5 per month) to get more detailed alerts, such as whether the motion alert was due to a person ringing your doorbell, a package delivery and so on. The subscription includes features like access to 180 days of event video history. If you opt for the $20 per month premium tier, you’ll get 24/7 recording for every compatible doorbell and camera in your home.
A few other Ring devices are on sale for Memorial Day as well. The pan-and-tilt Ring Indoor cam is 25 percent off and down to $60, and you can snag a five-piece Ring Alarm Kit for only $150, or 25 percent less than usual.
