Best Buy added three deals on Ring security cameras and lights to its early Memorial Day sales. Whether you are looking for security cameras for indoors or outdoors, with or without lights, Ring has you covered, and Best Buy has three of the best Ring models on sale.

Ring Stick Up Security Camera — $85, was $100

Ring

Every family has different security needs and preferences. The Ring Stick Up Cam Battery model is an excellent choice for most home security configurations. You can use it indoors or outdoors, and it doesn’t need to plug it in for either network connectivity or power. The battery-operated Stick Up Cam Battery lasts six months to a year on a fully charged battery, and recharging takes four to six hours. You can wall-mount the camera or use it in freestanding mode.

The Ring Stick Up Cam records 1080p full HD video with a 130-degree horizontal field of view when its motion detector senses movement. You can configure the camera to send an alert to your smartphone so you can talk to whoever is in range via the camera’s two-way audio feature. The camera is Alexa-compatible, so you can see live video or view recorded video clips stored in the cloud with any Amazon Echo-compatible smart display.

Normally $100, the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery is on sale for $85 at Best Buy and includes a free third-generation Amazon Echo Dot.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system
TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV
Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.
