Ring home security deals – and a free Dot

This is the top deal we’ve found: if you buy the Ring Video Doorbell 2 from AO‘s website, where it’s reduced to £119, you’ll get a free Amazon Echo Dot. The Doorbell 2 is usually £179, so even without the Dot, this is the deepest discount, with £60 off. Use the code FREEDOT to get the Dot as well.

You can also get the Doorbell 2 at the discount price from  the Ring site,  Amazon or  John Lewis. As Ring is an Amazon company, its products can be integrated with the Alexa, the Echo and Fire tablets and TV.

We reviewed it last year and gave it four out of five stars, recommending it highly.

The outstanding improvement over the original Ring doorbell is the removable battery. The original Ring doorbell required you to unscrew the entire unit for recharging. The new version has a battery beneath the face plate that you can simply pop out, take indoors and recharge.  

As well as this, the Doorbell 2 comes with all the features you’d hope for: 1080p HD video, improved night vision, two-way conversation and motion detection. It can also connect to existing doorbells.

The Ring Door View Cam is equally discounted, also  now £119, down from £179 – that’s 30% off. Essentially, the Door View Cam acts as an upgrade to your peephole. It’s a fifth generation Ring product, with features including motion detection, privacy zones and night vision, as well as two-way conversation, 1080p HD video, and a removable and rechargeable battery. The camera will also alert you to a knock at the door. 

Unsurprisingly, parent company Amazon is matching this deal. 

There’s £50 off the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. It’s currently priced at £179, down from £229. This is another product that got a four-star rating from us. We think it’s a significant upgrade from the Ring Doorbell and well worth the extra investment.

The Doorbell Pro is a slimmer design and can be wired to your existing doorbell. It features 1080p HD video, two-way audio and customisable motion sensors. It also comes with four different face plates.

You can get it from Ring itself but for the same price, Amazon is selling it in a bundle with the Chime, a wireless notification device that’ll connect to all of your Ring products and allow you to hear alerts when you’re away from your phone.      

The Ring Alarm is also now discounted by £50. It’s on sale for £199, down from £249. This is another Ring product that we really rated. We called it “affordable, expandable, easy to install” and pointed out that one of its key advantages is that it’s not reliant on a paid subscription. Nor does it require professional installation.

It’s a five-piece kit that includes a base station, a keypad, a contact sensor, a motion sensor and a range extender. It functions either as an effective standalone alarm or it can be integrated with your other Ring products.  

You can get it at the discounted price from Ring or Amazon.

There are also deals on various Ring Stick Up Cams. There’s £20 off the Stick Up Cam Battery and the Stick Up Cam Plug-in, dropping the price from £89 to £69. There’s £30 off the new Solar Stick Up Cam, taking the price down to £99 from £129. And finally, there’s £40 off the Stick Up Cam Elite, which means it’s now on sale for £139, down from £179.

You can get most of the same deals from Amazon, although its price for the solar isn’t as good. John Lewis is also matching the discounts on the battery and plug-in.
