Ring Battery Doorbell drops to a new all-time low price

Ring Battery Doorbell

If you’ve been looking to get a smart doorbell, right now is your chance to get one at a record-low price. It’s a pretty good one, too. The Ring Battery Doorbell is cheaper than ever at $54.99. That is a 45% discount on the full $99.99 retail price.

Get the Ring Battery Doorbell for just $54.99 ($45 off)

This offer is available directly from Amazon, which owns the Ring brand. It is part of the online retailer’s “Big Spring Deal” sale, which ends on March 31, 2025. We can only assume this discount will go away then. The unit is available in Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze; both are at the same discounted price.

I actually own this exact same model and got it for $59.99, so joke’s on the deals guy! You can get the Ring Battery Doorbell for $5 bucks less than I did, which happens to be the cheapest price we’ve ever seen this camera go for.

For this price, the Ring Battery Doorbell is quite a nice doorbell, even if it’s the cheapest available from the brand. It has a pretty nice 1,440p resolution. While that is less than the Doorbell Plus’ and Pro’s 1,536p resolution, the difference isn’t huge, and you’re saving a nice chunk of change with this one.

It also has a 150-degree field of view. According to Ring, this gives you a “head-to-toe” view of whoever approaches your front door, back door, or wherever you put it. Thanks to the night vision feature, the camera can also shoot at night, so this is good for any time of the day.

The Ring Battery Doorbell has many other features, including two-way audio, motion alerts, quick replies, package alerts, and Alexa support.

The one thing I have a bit of an issue with is that it doesn’t have a removable battery. This means I have to remove the Ring Battery Doorbell to charge it. That said, that’s just me being picky because, honestly, the battery life is impressive at about 6-12 months. So it isn’t something you really have to worry about very often.

Also, you have to keep in mind that most features require a Ring Home subscription, and plans start at $4.99 per month. Without one, the only main features you get are live view and motion alerts. Things like cloud storage, custom notification zones, and other capabilities require a plan. Learn more about Ring Home plans here.

Again, this is a record-low price, so if you’re signing up for this deal, you probably want to act quickly. These all-time low prices don’t commonly last long.

Extra deal: Pick up a security camera on the cheap

Remember the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery? Well, Amazon decided to change its name to the Ring Outdoor Cam, and I am still getting used to the change, but it is really the same device. It’s a pretty good security camera, too, and right now, you can get it for just $59.99. It’s certainly a nice addition if you’re getting into the Ring ecosystem.

While the Ring Battery Doorbell can keep an eye on your door, the Ring Outdoor Cam can be placed anywhere else as long as it’s within Wi-Fi range. It can record at 1,080p resolution and has a 130-degree field of view. I personally use a few of these, and that’s more than enough to cover the areas I need to keep an eye on. I’ve never had any issues with resolution or the field of view.

You’ll get a nice set of features, too. It also has two-way audio, as well as motion detection, motion alerts, real-time notifications, night vision, and Alexa support. It’s weather-resistant, so it won’t get ruined by rain or snow. The installation is pretty simple, too, as it doesn’t require wiring.

This one does have a removable battery, which usually lasts 6-12 months on a full charge. I just invested in an extra battery I keep charged at home, and then I swap them around to avoid downtime. Regardless, you won’t need to worry about charging it often.

Deal: eufy Security SoloCam S220 with solar charging is 50% off!

Eufy Security SoloCam S220 Promo Image

Are you looking for a good smart security camera? You’re probably looking at the big players, but there are some less-known brands that make excellent security cameras with innovative features. For example, the eufy Security SoloCam S220 has an integrated little solar panel! It’s also 50% off right now, slashing the price down to $64.99.

Get the eufy Security SoloCam S220 for just $64.99 ($65 off)

This offer is available from Amazon as a “Big Spring Deal.” This sale event ends on March 31, 2025, so we can only assume this deal will end then.

The eufy Security SoloCam S220 is a very special camera for one main reason: it has a solar panel. As you can see in the image above, it’s pretty tiny.

While many of you might be doubting it will move the needle at all, remember these smart security cameras are very battery efficient. They can usually last months, so you don’t need much energy to run them. With that in mind, eufy claims only three hours of direct sunlight will provide enough energy to power the camera for a full day. You will likely get more than that on normal sunny days. Even if the sun takes a day off, the battery would still last about three months on its own.

Pretty nice, right? If you live in a place with enough sunlight, you might not ever need to worry about charging it! What about the rest of the camera? Well, this is actually a pretty nice offering.

The camera records at 2K resolution and has a 135-degree field of view. It has night vision, and Smart AI can detect both humans and pets. You’ll also get two-way audio, zone customizations, and support for both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It also gets an IP67 rating, so it will be safe from the elements outdoors.

What’s even better, eufy makes it easy to avoid subscriptions, thanks to local storage support. You’ll even get all the features without the fee, which is rare in the world of security cameras. That said, some features, like face recognition, require a eufy HomeBase 3. If you do want cloud storage, you can sign up for a eufy Cloud Storage plan. They start at $2.99 monthly. If you want some extra protection, eufy also offers some Protection Plan options that offer advanced security monitoring, dispatch, etc. All that said, these are extras! You could just pay nothing per month and keep it all local.

By the way, this is an Anker-owned brand. Just in case you were worried about purchasing from an unknown manufacturer. We know buying from random brands can be a bit worrisome, as they can have horrible customer support or make it really hard to claim warranty, etc.

If you want in on this deal, make sure to act quickly. It’s a Big Spring Deal, and it’s ending relatively soon. Also, there is always a chance stock will run out.

Extra deal: The eufy Security eufyCam 3 is much better, and also on sale

If you like the idea of a security camera with a solar panel, and easy local storage without subscriptions, but need something higher-end, this is it. The eufy Security eufyCam 3 is a great upgrade. It’s also 43% off right now, bringing the price down to $124.99.

Because it is bigger, it can fit a bigger battery, which has an estimated battery life of up to one year. Additionally, the solar panel on top is also bigger, which means it needs only two hours of direct sunlight to give it enough juice to run the camera a whole day.

Of course, there are other upgrades. It has a 4K resolution, for starters. Other features stay the same. You still get night vision, two-way audio, local storage support, AI face recognition, and more. The one downside is that this one requires a eufy HomeBase 3. The SoloCam S220 can connect directly to your Wi-Fi.
