Ring’s Video Doorbell 2 can run with its internal rechargeable battery pack alone or hardwired to existing doorbell wiring for continuous charging.

The device also sends an alert to the Ring mobile app on your configured smartphone.
When you receive an alert, you can talk with visitors via the Ring’s two-way audio using your phone or via a smart speaker such as the Echo Dot included with this deal. You can also view live video or recorded video on your phone or an Alexa-compatible smart display. It’s not required, but you can also sign up for an optional Ring Protect service to see, save, and share videos and photos for $3 per month.
You can use the third-generation Echo Dot to ask Alexa questions, request music, set timers and alerts, and manage and control a full smart home configuration. The Echo Dot alone is a helpful digital voice assistant, but when you pair it with other smart home devices, such as the Ring Video Doorbell 2, it becomes a key component in your home security system.
Normally $249 if purchased separately at full list price, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and third-generation Echo Dot smart speaker bundle is just $159 for this sale, a 36% savings of $89.
