Before you get smart cameras or other smart tech, most people start with a smart doorbell. They’re better than ever, with exceptional coverage of the area in front of your door, night vision, high quality video, and AI features. You can see who is at your door (and decide if you want to actually answer it), know when packages are delivered, and interact with those at the door when you’re not home using two-way video.

The brand everyone knows is “Ring” and there’s a good reason. They make the best doorbells, an assessment I can make after testing 15-20 of them. Ring has built an entire ecosystem around their doorbells. Once you’re subscribed (its not required, but the doorbell loses almost all functionality except live view without it), you get access to the Ring network. It’s like a version of NextDoor, just for Ring users, and it has proven useful in finding lost dogs and alerting people to power outages. And right now, the Ring doorbell is $49.99 (that’s 50% off) for Prime Day.

Subscriptions will run you $4.99 a month or $49.99 for the year, and with it, you’re able to access 180 days of video history for your doorbell. You receive alerts and notifications, which are customizable, and you’ll get video preview alerts, which you can click on to view the whole clip.

Obviously, video quality is important, and this model offers 1440 x 1440 resolution. You can hear everything at your front door, and also use the doorbell as a two way speaker, having whole conversations with no lag time. Ring is tied into every smart home system out there, including Google and Alexa.

This is the battery model of the Ring, and I recommend picking up a second battery, so you can swap them out. Even the process to recharge is easy: Pull the silver plate away, take the battery out, and recharge it using a micro-USB cord that comes included. If you have a spare, you don’t have doorbell downtime while charging.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

• Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off . It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

• Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online . It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

• Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own . It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.
