Live Black Friday sale updates
During the shopping bonanza, you can benefit from savings across tech, laptops, gaming, home appliances and more, thanks to the likes of Amazon, John Lewis & Partners, Very and Currys slashing the price of big-ticket items. If your main agenda for the sale this year is to upgrade your home security system in a cost-efficient way, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve spotted that the price of a Ring doorbell (was £49.99, now £34.99, Amazon.co.uk) – a go-to brand for security cameras – has been slashed in Amazon’s Black Friday sale, making now the perfect time to invest. Read on for how you can save 30 per cent on the doorbell, plus more stellar savings from one of the best brands in the business.
Ring video doorbell, wired: Was £49.99, now £34.99, Amazon.co.uk
As brands go, Amazon-owned Ring is the one to know when it comes to upgrading your at-home security. And this is one of the cheapest smart doorbells. It’s an entry-level device, making it perfect if you’re just getting started with adding smart tech into your home.
Despite this, it has all the important features you’ll need, including high definition night vision, motion detection, instant notifications, live view, and two-way talk via the app on your phone. Should you have an Echo dot (was £54.99, now £26.99, Amazon.co.uk) too, you can connect the two and hear audio notifications via Alexa.
Ring video doorbell 3: Was £159.99, now £109.99, Amazon.co.uk
Helping you secure your home for less, you can save 30 per cent on the Ring doorbell 3 right now. A very similar model to this one that took top spot in our review of the best video doorbells – in which our writer praised the “quality of the 1,080px HD video, and the clever two-way talk”. The brand claims it’s easy to set up and the built-in motion detection means you’ll receive instant notification if anyone rings the doorbell.
Ring stick up cam battery: Was £89, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re wondering whether this Ring stick up cam can take the stress out of home security, we’ve already put it to the test. And our writer praised it for being “really impressive” thanks to its excellent picture quality and motion detection. You can customise when the camera starts recording, a feature that our tester found “works well”. Connecting your phone to the device is an “easy and hassle-free process”. All in all, if you’re looking to make your home more secure, this is an affordable device to do it with.
Ring video doorbell, 2nd gen: Was £89, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking for a more advanced model than the wired doorbell (was £49, now £34, Amazon.co.uk) we have featured above, then this could be the one for you. While we’re yet to test this exact device, the slightly more advanced Ring video doorbell 3 plus (£109.99, Amazon.co.uk) took the top spot in our guide to the best video doorbells, with our writer noting that “the clarity of the two-way talk was excellent”. A key similarity between the devices is the 1080p HD video – one of the many features our tester praised in their review. Clearly, Ring is a brand to trust, so snap up this deal while you still can.
Ring Chime for video doorbell: Was £29.99, now £25, Argos.co.uk
The chime is a must-have accessory for any Ring doorbell owner. This works much like a regular doorbell chime, sounding when the Ring’s button is pressed, so you’ll be alerted to a visiter when you haven’t got your smartphone with the Ring app nearby. This deal sees the chime reduced from its retail price of £29.99 to £25. The chime simply plugs into a wall socket, then connects to your wifi network and Ring app.
Ring video doorbell wired and Echo dot, 3rd gen: Was £89.99, now £34.99, Amazon.co.uk
This bundle has everything you need to start your smart home. The doorbell has high definition night vision, which features sharp contrast so you never miss a detail, even after dark, and standard features, such as instant notifications, live view and two-way talk. Once the Ring video doorbell is installed, you will receive audio notifications via your Echo dot, which also has the ability to turn on lights, adjust thermostats and more. This really is a corker of a deal.
Ring alarm five-piece kit, 2nd gen: Was £269.98, now £149.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re really looking to upgrade your whole home security system, this five-piece kit has everything you need and more. It includes a base station, keypad, contact sensor, motion detector, a range extender and a Ring indoor camera. As for the brand’s credibility, we can certainly vouch for it being one to trust as we have featured in our reviews of the best video doorbells and best security cameras.
