Best Buy drops prices for Ring Video Doorbell Pro bundles with Chime Pro

Video doorbells that alert homeowners to visitors, delivery personnel, and intruders remain one of the most common smart home configurations, but most devices lack a traditional doorbell’s indoor chime. Best Buy dropped its prices on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro with a Ring Chime Pro to $200 ($100 off) and the Ring Video Doorbell Pro with a Ring Chime Pro and an Echo Dot to $250 ($100 off).

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is a premium product in the Ring Video Doorbell lineup. The Pro model is hard-wired only and is easily connected to existing doorbell wiring. The Pro captures 1080p Full HD video with a 160-degree horizontal and 90-degree vertical field of view. Advanced motion fine-tunes the monitored area within the camera’s field of view to avoid alarms from passing cars or people on sidewalks. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro supports two-way talk with visitors and works day and night with infrared LEDs for nighttime use. Unlike the lessor-featured Ring Video Doorbells, the Pro supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi for a more consistent connection.

The Ring Chime Pro has two functions. Like the Ring Chime, the Chime Pro sounds alerts when signaled by a Ring Video Doorbell. Even if you have an existing doorbell chime, the Ring Chime adds to the audio alert. The Chime Pro also includes a Wi-Fi extender to increase the range of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity. If you have Ring Security Cameras in addition to or instead of a Ring Video Doorbell, the Chime Pro boosts the network signal to reach further in and around your home.

You can install the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and Ring Chime Pro by connecting the devices to your home Wi-Fi network and then receive alerts and control the system with the Ring mobile app. If you already have Amazon Echo devices in your home, you can pair the Video Doorbell Pro to work with smart speakers or smart displays and then use Alexa voice commands to manage Video Doorbell Pro. Normally priced $300, Best Buy bundled the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and Ring Chime Pro for $200 until February 29. My Best Buy members can get another $10 discount, for a final $190 price. This bundle is an excellent deal for a premium video doorbell with an indoor chime and a range extender.

Get a Ring Video Doorbell and Echo Dot for $40 today (save $65)
Two people saying hi with a Ring Video Doorbell Wired.

Today is the second and final day of Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale, the second mega sales event of the year following the traditional Prime Day in July. We're calling it Prime Day October 2022 and it's certainly replete with compelling Prime Day deals. One of the most outrageously appealing deals today is an Amazon smart home bundle that includes the Ring Video Doorbell (wired) and Echo Dot (Gen 3) for a just $40 a of $65 from the normal combined $105 price.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell  and Echo Dot (Gen 3)
Ring, which is an Amazon-owned brand, isn't the only video doorbell company but it's the most well-known. There are other compelling Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals, but when you can pick up a Ring doorbell with an Echo Dot smart speaker for just $40, it could be hard to justify spending more on fancier models. The Ring Video Doorbell Wired includes all the features most people seek, including 1080p HD video with night vision, two-way talk, and motion detection to alert you to visitors before they ring your bell (or if they don't). Everything you need to install the Ring Video Doorbell Wired including tools comes in the package. Note that even though this Ring model connects to existing home doorbell wiring, it won't ring an existing doorbell chime, so you'll need to buy a Ring chime if you want a traditional doorbell ring. Otherwise, you can set the Ring software to send alerts to your smartphone or to an Alexa device such as the bundled Echo Dot Gen 3 smart speaker. if you want to view previously recorded videos, the Ring Protect Plan, sold separately, stores your recordings for up to 180 days.
