If you’re looking for a way to protect yourself from porch pirates, it’s a good idea to invest in a solid smart video doorbell. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is one of the best on the market, and is available at an all-time low price of $149.99 ($80 off) at Woot until February 1st at 12:59AM ET.
The snappy battery-powered video doorbell is packed with a number of features that provide peace of mind. Its high-resolution 1536p video features a square aspect ratio, which is helpful as it allows you to get a complete view of your entire porch. The doorbell also supports motion detection using three sensors — radar, video analysis, and passive — for an impressive level of accuracy. Other standout features include good color night vision, dual-band Wi-Fi, and smart responses so you can talk to your visitor. The doorbell also integrates well with Amazon devices, allowing you to do things like pull up a live feed of your front door on an Echo Show or Fire TV-enabled television.
The downside is some features are paywalled. So if you want smart alerts for people and packages or recorded footage, you’ll have to fork out at least $4.99 a month (or $49.99 a year) for a subscription. But if you don’t mind that, the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is an excellent video doorbell that’s particularly ideal for those embedded in Amazon’s ecosystem.
