Ring Prime Day Deals

It’s 2020. Are you still asking who’s at the door? With Ring video doorbells, their flagship product, we know exactly who’s at the door even if we’re not home through Ring’s mobile application. And because the cameras have speakers and microphones, we can even greet our guests, or tell them to keep walking. Regardless of the guest, if you’re looking to buy a Ring video doorbell, a good time to buy is on Prime Day, which is technically two days, October 13th and the 14th. Well, we’re here to break down the savings you can get on Ring video doorbells on Prime Day, which to us is the happiest day of the year.

Pricing

Before we go into the savings you can get on Prime Day, we wanted to show you what Ring video doorbells’ pricing looks like on any other day; then, you have a jumping-off point for calculating discounts. Let’s start with the doorbell cameras themselves.

Doorbell Cameras and Packages

Ring certainly isn’t shy about releasing new video doorbells; in total, they have seven video doorbells to choose from, which you can read more about in our Ring video doorbells review. Prices range from just $99 with their original device, all the way up to $349.99 with the Elite. They also have bundles that include not only the video doorbells but also accessories like solar chargers, chimes, mounting kits and even smart locks.

Of course, Prime Day will make these doorbell cameras and packages even cheaper, but we’ll get to that in a second.

Doorbell Camera Accessories

Ring also offers a number of accessories for its doorbell cameras, including spare parts, faceplates, mounts, and various cables. While none of these are strictly necessary, we like that Ring let us customize our home security.

Ring Video Doorbell Fun Facts

Even though Ring is now under the umbrella of tech giant Amazon, which sells literally everything, they have a pretty interesting backstory themselves. Here are a few fun facts:

• In 2018, Amazon acquired Ring, bringing their original doorbell camera’s price down to $99.99.1
• To find out how effective the Ring video doorbells were at preventing burglaries, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) placed them in one neighborhood and compared burglary rates to a neighborhood without the devices. The former neighborhood had a 50 percent decrease in burglaries, while the latter had no reduction.2
• Ring’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, pitched the Ring video doorbell, then called the Doorbot, on the hit TV show Shark Tank in 2013. He asked for $700,000 for a 10 percent stake and walked away without a deal.3 By 2018 when Amazon purchased it, the company was worth $1 billion, although Mark Cuban said he’d still pass on the investment.4
