Looking to upgrade your home security? Smart doorbells are getting smarter – and more affordable. And they can make sure you never have to leave your couch when you’re most comfortable, unless you really want to go open the door or look through that peephole.
Ring’s popular Battery Doorbell Plus is currently on sale for $100, down from its regular price of $150 – that’s a solid 33% discount saving you $50. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your front door security, this might be the perfect time to make the move.

Upgrade your privacy and security for less
What sets this doorbell apart is its expanded field of view with what Ring calls Head-to-Toe HD+ Video. Instead of just getting a cropped view of whoever’s at your door, you can see the full picture – from their face all the way down to any packages they might be carrying. This wider view makes a real difference in everyday use, whether you’re checking on deliveries or seeing who’s stopping by.
The color night vision is particularly impressive, giving you clear footage even in low light conditions. No more grainy, hard-to-make-out black and white footage when someone comes calling after dark. The motion detection is smart enough to be useful without being annoying, and you can set up privacy zones to avoid getting alerts from areas you don’t want to monitor.
One of the standout features is the Package Alert system, though you’ll need a Ring Home subscription to use it. It’ll let you know specifically when packages are delivered to a designated area, which is super handy if you do a lot of online shopping. The subscription also lets you save recordings for up to 180 days, so you can go back and check footage if needed.
Power management is thoughtfully designed with a Quick Release Battery Pack that makes recharging simple. No need to take down the whole doorbell – just pop out the battery pack when it needs a charge. Installation is straightforward too; just connect it to your WiFi through the Ring app and mount it using the included tools.
If you’re into smart home integration, it works seamlessly with Alexa. You can hear motion alerts through your Echo devices, watch live footage on your Echo Show or Fire TV, and even talk to visitors through Alexa – just say “Alexa, talk to the front door.” It’s this kind of integration that makes it more than just a doorbell camera; it becomes part of your whole home security system.
For $100, you’re getting a well-rounded package that brings together security, convenience, and smart home features. And if you value peace of mind at home, you’ll be well-covered there.
