What if we told you that you could score an amazing deal on a Ring video doorbell as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event? You might say “yeah, I was expecting that,” and we wouldn’t blame you, as Amazon owns Ring after all. But what if we told you that you could take home a regular Ring Video Doorbell for only $50? For years, Ring has been a tried and true name in the DIY home security business, and the Ring Video Doorbell is a fantastic surveillance product. It’s also $50 less than it usually costs, and it’s one of the best Prime Day security camera deals we’ve found for less than $100.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell

Keeping tabs on life near and outside your doors is exactly what the Ring Video Doorbell was designed for. Once installed, the camera captures up to 1080p HD footage, and we’re a big fan of the quality. You can expect bright and color visuals, which comes in handy for identifying facial features and hard-to-see license plates. Whenever motion is detected, the Ring doorbell automatically pings your device with notifications. 

Of course, we don’t want to get an alert every time a squirrel darts across the yard. This is why we love the many settings and customizations you’ll be able to use as part of the Ring app. Better yet, when you subscribe to a Ring Protect Plan, the app will store up to 180 days of footage that you can share with others. Once 180 days has been reached, the Video Doorbell will start recording over the oldest clips.

As for power, you’ll have the option of using the built-in rechargeable battery, or you can connect the doorbell to your existing doorbell wiring. It’s only a matter of time before this excellent Ring cam goes back to full price, so buy it now while the deal is still good:

That’s the Ring Video Doorbell for only $50 when you buy through Amazon. And on your way out, you should check out our big list of other Prime Day deals, as well as our Amazon deals post!

I used CamelCamelCamel to check if these are the best deal prices for Black Friday (they are)
CamelCamelCamel in the desert giving you a smug unsatisfied look.

You may or may not know this, but certain online retailers and various small brands will actually increase prices before a huge sale, like early Black Friday sales, actual Black Friday, or even Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. Let's say, for example, they discount the product by $20. Weeks before, they might raise the price by $30 to make the discount look bigger. So, the reality is you're not actually getting a great deal -- they trick you. There is a way to combat this and find the best early Black Friday deals and beyond. There's a tool I use called CamelCamelCamel, which works wonders to help you find the real deals and steals. Well, anyway, I used the tool to find the best deal prices for Black Friday, and the holiday discounts. Let's take a closer look at some of those deals. Spoiler: They're so, so good.

For example, say you participate in one of these Cyber Week TV deals; you might want to wall-mount it. Then, say you grab an easy coffee maker from Keurig's Cyber Week deals.
