Save $30 on the Ring Video Doorbell and get a free Echo Dot

Do you ever watch home invasion films (a Hush or The Strangers type of deal) and immediately think of how much easier it would have been if the victims had security cameras? Is that thought too 2019?

Maybe, but it’s still smart: Whether you’re dealing with a serial package stealer or are just really paranoid of someone getting in at night, the extra eyes that a home security system or a video doorbell can offer are kind of unmatched. 

At the very least, Amazon wants to make sure your precious Prime packages are getting to you: Today’s Deal of the Day is offering up to 24% off home surveillance, and our favorite deal saves you $30 on a Ring Video Doorbell and throws in a free Echo Dot (a total savings of $79.99).

Aside from regular doorbell stuff, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 syncs with your phone via the Ring app to provide a live feed of activity at your front door. The Ring’s motion sensors will send a notification any time movement is sensed. (For extra protection and 24/7 police monitoring, you can grab the 5-piece Ring Alarm also on sale for $169 today.)

Two-way talk through the app also allows you to talk to the person at the door without having to get up, and makes it possible to accept packages when you’re not home.

You’re also getting a free Echo Dot: The third generation Dot adds Alexa to any room and is complete with better sound and microphones than earlier ones. Control your Ring or smart lights, set reminders and alarms, or order pizza. (And then use your Ring app to talk to the delivery person at the door.)

Regularly $199 for the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and $49.99 for the Echo Dot, you can save $79.99 total and get the bundle for $169.
