Ring Video Doorbell 2 with free Amazon Echo Show 5  — $200

The Ring Video Doorbell 2 runs on a battery but can be hooked up to an existing doorbell wiring. The included rechargeable battery pack connects to a power source through a mini-USB cable, although you’ll need to find your own power adapter. A single full charge takes a few hours and will last between six months and a year.

Setting up the doorbell is simple both for iOS and Android devices. When the doorbell button is pressed, it will send an immediate notification to your phone and will activate a shrill chime from its speaker. When the motion detector senses a movement, it will begin recording a Full HD 1080p video. Sensitivity can be adjusted to tweak motion zones and to reduce false alerts. Alerts can be scheduled or disabled.

With easy installation, versatile configuration, and simple app control, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 makes a great first line of defense in your home. You can order this smart doorbell with a free Amazon Echo Show 5 tossed in for only $200 on Best Buy or $199 from Amazon.

Ring Video Doorbell Pro with free Amazon Echo Show 5  — $250

With the Video Doorbell Pro, Ring expands upon the functionalities of the original Video Doorbell to deliver a more premium experience. It’s also 20% thinner than the Video Doorbell 2, but the tradeoff for this slimmer design is that it requires hardline power.

The Pro model excels in the imaging front. Its 1080p camera has a 160 x 100-degree field of view which covers entryways well. Images are crisp for both daytime and nighttime, even within 10 feet of the lens. It’s also equipped with advanced motion detection that allows you to specify areas to monitor the camera’s field of view.

A true smart doorbell, the Video Doorbell Pro integrates with Alexa. Images can be displayed through a Fire TV or Echo Show device. You can even answer the door via the Echo Show. Best Buy’s offer is especially perfect as you no longer have to buy a separate Echo device to enjoy this feature. Purchase the Ring Video Doorbell Pro for only $250 from Best Buy or $249 from Amazon and get a free bundled Amazon Echo Show 5.

In addition to installing home security cameras, you can protect your family by equipping your front door with a second-generation Ring Video Doorbell. The device, originally $100, is on sale from Best Buy with a $45 discount that nearly halves it price to just $55. It's a sound investment for your peace of mind, but if you want to get the video doorbell for this cheap, you're going to have to act fast. We're not sure when the bargain will end, so it's highly recommended that you complete the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen)
The second-generation Ring Video Doorbell is in our list of the best video doorbells as the top entry-level choice because it's affordable but packed with security features. After a quick and easy installation process, you'll be able to see through its camera through the Ring app, receive alerts whenever it detects someone outside your front door, and talk to them with two-way audio. It's a major upgrade to the first-generation Ring Video Doorbell, according to our Ring Video Doorbell buying guide, with an upgraded camera resolution to 1080p from 720p, motion zones that are easier to customize, improved night vision functions, and a noise-canceling microphone for clearer conversations with visitors and delivery people.

Best Camera Deals: Save on Canon, Panasonic, Nikon, and GoPro
fujifilm x t4 review set 2 dm 1

Whether you're looking for the best digital cameras or the best travel cameras, there are a ton of options out there, sometimes too many options, especially for those who aren't familiar with the photography world. Luckily, we've done a lot of legwork for you and collected a range of great camera deals across the spectrum, so even if you want something more sports-oriented, like a GoPro, there are a couple of deals for those too. So, let's jump right into it.
Today's Best Camera Deals
One of our favorite deals is the Canon EOS Rebel T7 going for $400, as it's one of the better DSLR cameras on the market, and it has a reasonably budget-friendly price on it, making it a great starter camera. Of course, if you've been in the game for a while and are looking for a powerful upgrade, the Sony Alpha 7R IV is one of the best full-frame cameras on the market, and while it still costs a hefty $3,200, that's still $300 off the usual $3,500 price tag. That said, if you're looking for something more portable and action-oriented, you can't go wrong with the GoPro HERO11 Black Mini, although if you're a professional content creator, the GoPro HERO9 Black 5K is probably the one to go for instead.

Do I Need a DSLR or a Mirrorless Camera?
Like most things, this really depends on what you're trying to do. Mirrorless cameras have fewer internal moving parts, which generally means they can capture images quicker, so if you're taking pictures of action-packed stuff like sports or animals in the wilderness, a mirrorless camera is a great option. On the other hand, DSLR cameras are great for low-light conditions and are great for anything from portraits to landscapes. DSLRs are also cheaper and have much better battery life, as well as having a decade or two worth of lenses to choose from.

Best security camera deals: Get a single camera for $30 and more
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera

Whether you're working at home or still going to an office, having security cameras around your has can offer you peace of mind, but what might not give you as much peace of mind is finding the right one. Luckily, the best security cameras usually have some form of deal on them, and we've collected some of the best here for you to save you the trouble. So, whether you need a whole-house setup or just a single camera, there are deals for every need.
Today's Best Security Camera Deals
While there are a lot of great deals, our favorite is probably the Swann Enforcer bundle, with four 1080p cameras and local storage. That last bit is important if you have choppy internet and can't rely on cloud storage; plus, you don't have to deal with annoying subscription services, which is always a big plus. The downside is that it's a wired system, so you'll have to run cabling, and not everybody is willing to do that. On the other hand, if you want a wireless system, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle is a great option since it comes with a charging station and costs $300 for three cameras, so essentially $100 per camera for 2k and a bunch of other functions.

Of course, if you only need one camera, the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and the eufy Security SoloCam L40 are both great options. Which one you go for depends wholly on whether you feel the need for 2k resolution or not, although if you're doing it for an indoor space that isn't too big, it might not be worth going for 2k, especially if you only need a pet camera.
