The holidays are upon us, but retailers have not yet stopped rolling out discounts for different kinds of smart home devices, including Ring doorbell deals. If you’re planning to invest in a video doorbell, you should take a look at Amazon’s offer for the Ring Video Doorbell Pro that slashes $80 off its price, bringing it down to just $170 from its original price of $250.

Buy Now

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro, which utilizes existing doorbell wiring for installation and non-stop power, is equipped with a 1080p HD camera for a clear view of who or what is outside your front door. You can also communicate with people outside your door from smartphones, tablets, PCs, and select Echo devices through the Ring app.

You can set up the app to notify you if someone comes up to your door, or if motion is detected in the zones that you have selected. You can also link your Ring account to Amazon’s Alexa, to enable hands-free monitoring with doorbell notifications on Echo devices and a live view of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro’s camera if your Echo device has a screen.

When comparing the Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Ring Video Doorbell Pro, the main advantage of the latter is Advanced Pre-Roll, which automatically records six seconds of full color, high-definition video with full sound before a motion event is triggered. The extra security provided by this feature is invaluable, even if you need to sign up for a Ring Protect subscription in order to gain access to it. The subscription also stores videos for up to 60 days, in case you need to look back on previously recorded footage.

With features that will provide you both convenience and peace of mind, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro already provides great value at its original price of $250. However, Amazon is selling the video doorbell with an $80 discount to lower its price to $170, in a deal that’s hard to ignore. It’s unclear how long the offer will last, so even if you won’t get the Ring Video Doorbell Pro by Christmas, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can for the chance to get it during the holiday season.

Haier is putting AI to work on the chores you barely think about

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Haier

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe wants its new doorbell to stop porch pirates, not just record them
SimpliSafe’s new $200 doorbell can yell at package thieves and call the police
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what does around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.

Apple’s new AI camera features come with a bizarre iCloud storage tax
HomeKit Secure Video footage doesn’t count against iCloud storage, yet adding Apple Intelligence to more cameras means buying increasingly massive storage plans
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple is making HomeKit Secure Video a lot smarter. Its new Apple Intelligence features can describe recorded activity and let you search camera footage using natural language instead of digging through clips yourself.

Getting those features across several cameras is where things get weird. The 2TB iCloud Plus plan supports Apple Intelligence on one camera. Two cameras require 6TB, while five require the 12TB tier. All that extra storage is required even though HomeKit Secure Video recordings don’t count against your iCloud allowance.
