What if we told you that you could score an amazing deal on a Ring video doorbell as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event? You might say “yeah, I was expecting that,” and we wouldn’t blame you, as Amazon owns Ring after all. But what if we told you that you could take home a regular Ring Video Doorbell for only $50? For years, Ring has been a tried and true name in the DIY home security business, and the Ring Video Doorbell is a fantastic surveillance product. It’s also $50 less than it usually costs, and it’s one of the best Prime Day security camera deals we’ve found for less than $100.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell

Keeping tabs on life near and outside your doors is exactly what the Ring Video Doorbell was designed for. Once installed, the camera captures up to 1080p HD footage, and we’re a big fan of the quality. You can expect bright and color visuals, which comes in handy for identifying facial features and hard-to-see license plates. Whenever motion is detected, the Ring doorbell automatically pings your device with notifications. 

Of course, we don’t want to get an alert every time a squirrel darts across the yard. This is why we love the many settings and customizations you’ll be able to use as part of the Ring app. Better yet, when you subscribe to a Ring Protect Plan, the app will store up to 180 days of footage that you can share with others. Once 180 days has been reached, the Video Doorbell will start recording over the oldest clips.

As for power, you’ll have the option of using the built-in rechargeable battery, or you can connect the doorbell to your existing doorbell wiring. It’s only a matter of time before this excellent Ring cam goes back to full price, so buy it now while the deal is still good:

That’s the Ring Video Doorbell for only $50 when you buy through Amazon. And on your way out, you should check out our big list of other Prime Day deals, as well as our Amazon deals post!

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating
Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.
