If you’ve been holding off on a video doorbell because it usually costs too much, now’s a good time to reconsider. The Ring Battery Doorbell, in satin nickel or Venetian bronze, is currently $59.99 (down from $99.99)—the lowest it’s ever been, according to price trackers.
This model runs on an internal (rechargeable) battery, so you don’t have to deal with wiring—unless you want to, in which case it has terminals for existing doorbell wiring. When the battery runs low, you just need to pop the unit off the door and charge it via USB-C.
As for the camera, it records in 1,440 x 1,440 resolution with a 150-degree field of view, which means you’ll get a full, head-to-toe view of whoever is at your door. It starts recording both when someone presses the button and when motion is detected, but you’ll need a Ring Home subscription ($4.99/month) to actually access those recordings. Without it, you’ll only get live views and notifications. On the bright side, notifications are fast, and if you can’t answer right away, you can set the Quick Replies feature to let the doorbell respond for you. Additionally, its daytime video looks sharp and colorful, and black-and-white night vision is crisp, though its color night vision tends to look a little washed out, notes this PCMag review.
It integrates well with Amazon Alexa and supports IFTTT, meaning you can connect it to other compatible smart home gadgets. However, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit aren’t supported, so if you’re deep in those ecosystems, this might not be the best fit for you. You can manage and control the doorbell through the Ring app, where you can adjust motion settings, use the two-way audio, review saved videos, and access live view. You can also set up Quick Replies, switch between security modes, connect to other Ring devices, and more via the app.
If you’re considering alternatives, the Arlo Video Doorbell is worth checking out at $59.99 (originally $129.99).
