Ring's least expensive battery-powered video doorbell is now 50% off. It has head-to-toe video, connects to Wi-Fi using 5GHz as well as the 2.4GHz band, and runs on either battery power or household current. Unlike the Battery Doorbell Plus and Battery Doorbell Pro, you can't remove the battery from this model, so it's a bit harder to recharge.

This is the Ring video doorbell I recommend to most people. It offers head-to-toe video, has a removable battery, and is reasonably priced — especially now, when you can get it for $70 off. In our Ring Battery Doorbell Plus review, we named it the best model for most people.

While the Wired Doorbell Pro has to be wired to get power, it has a slim design, excellent video quality, and great motion detection, plus head-to-toe video. It doesn't have as high a resolution as the 3rd-gen model, but it still works well, which is why we rated it so highly in our Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (2nd gen) review.

And, its newer processor means it can identify familiar faces and even deliver custom greetings, thanks to Alexa+.

Ring Video Doorbell deals: What to look for

Ring Video Doorbell 2nd generation

As I mentioned in the intro, most of the Ring doorbell deals so far have been for its previous generation of devices, which aren't bad, but don't have as high a resolution as the models it introduced this year.

While Amazon has labeled a lot of Ring's products as "newest model," the ones that are truly new will have the word "Retinal" in their titles.

The good news is that all of the last-gen models (as well as the newest ones) all support person and package detection, so you'll know when someone leaves something at your door. However, you will need to sign up for a Ring subscription, which starts at $4.99/month.

As we get closer to Black Friday itself, Amazon is most likely going to bundle Ring video doorbells with other devices, such as an indoor or outdoor security camera, or an Alexa-enabled smart display, like the Amazon Echo Show 5. It's a good way to get both items on sale, and you can use the Echo Show 5 (as well as any other Amazon smart display) to view live video from the Ring doorbell, and talk with the person at your door.
