Amazon’s Prime Day 2024 doesn’t officially kick off until July 16, but the company has already discounted some of its own hardware, including several Ring security gadgets. For a limited time, you can get a Ring Doorbell Camera for $50. Remember, this deal is only available for Amazon Prime members, so if you don’t have a subscription be sure to sign up for a 30-day free trial to take advantage of it.

Ring’s Video Doorbell can record 1080p footage and will send your smartphone a notification each time its motion sensor is triggered. You can review footage or watch a livestream from the camera using the Ring app on your smartphone, computer, and tablet. The doorbell’s speaker and microphone system lets you communicate with the people you see in real-time to let them know you’re away or ask what they’re doing.

Signing up for an optional Ring Protect Plan subscription will save video clips in the cloud, so you can rewatch them later, or send them to the authorities in case of a break-in. This is a wired video doorbell, so you’ll need existing wiring in your home to hook it up. We recommend calling an electrician if you’re afraid of handling the setup yourself. You’ll never have to worry about its battery running out of juice. If you’ve been meaning to beef up your home’s security system on a budget, don’t skip this deal.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
