Ring's Video Doorbell Wired Just Hit $39 at Amazon - CNET

You don't have to spend a fortune to upgrade from an old-school doorbell to something smarter in 2023. And with today's sale on the Ring Video Doorbell Wired, it's an even less expensive endeavor. It's on sale for just $39 at Amazon right now, dropping it back down to the lowest price we've seen for it to date. The budget doorbell cam is already one of our top picks for the best cheap video doorbells at its retail price of $65 and today's 40% discount makes now the perfect time to pick one up if you've been on the fence.

With the security of a Ring doorbell, you'll always have the heads-up when someone is approaching. You can see, hear and even talk to whoever's on the other side of your door from the convenience of your phone. This wired model supports 1080p video and has night vision built in.

You'll need to have existing doorbell wiring to connect this wired Ring Video Doorbell, though the convenience of having 24/7 power rather than having to periodically recharge a battery can't be overstated. As well as alerts on your phone, you can have your Alexa devices throughout your home notify you of activity at your door or pick up the compatible Ring Chime for that more traditional chime experience. Fortunately, bundles featuring this doorbell and the Ring Chime are also discounted today.

As with all Ring products, you'll need to make sure you're comfortable with the company's evolving relationship with law enforcement before you buy. Keep in mind you can opt out of some of Ring devices' data-sharing if you opt for this smart home deal.
