Ring Video Doorbell (2nd gen) at $59 — see and speak to anyone at your door from anywhere

Amazon has the Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) at $59 — exactly half its regular $100 price. This deal has appeared briefly a few times this year and tends to sell out within a day or two. If you’ve been thinking about one, now is the time.

Why it’s worth having

The practical value is straightforward: you can see who’s at the front door without getting up, and you can speak to them through your phone whether you’re in the bedroom, the backyard, or hundreds of miles away visiting family. For anyone with mobility challenges, or for anyone living alone, that’s a meaningful quality-of-life improvement.

The motion alerts also let you know when packages are delivered — or if someone is lingering near your door when they shouldn’t be.

Setup

Ring’s setup is done through the Ring app and takes about 20 minutes. The doorbell runs on a rechargeable battery (no wiring required) that lasts 6–12 months depending on how much motion activity it records. When the battery needs charging, the app notifies you and the battery pops out for indoor charging — no electrician needed.

The subscription question

Ring works without a subscription — you can see live video and speak to visitors for free. The optional Ring Protect plan ($3.99/month) adds recorded video history (30 days) and person detection alerts. Whether you need it depends on whether reviewing past footage matters to you. Most people find the free features sufficient.

This deal expires soon

Based on past patterns, this pricing typically lasts 24–48 hours. We’ll update this post when it reverts to full price.
