If you’re browsing home security options, Ring has one of the best early Black Friday deals that should be on your radar. Right now, you can add an indoor camera and another one at your front door for less than $65. The Ring Indoor Cam 2K is 58% off at $24.99 (originally $59.99), while the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K is 60% off at $39.99 (originally $99.99)—both at their lowest-ever price.

Both offer features like 2K video and two-way talk, but the indoor cam is the simpler purchase if you mainly want to check on a pet or kids and see what’s happening near an entrance. It plugs into an outlet, so there’s no battery to recharge, and its low-light color video helps preserve detail when lights are off or dimmed. However, since it’s a fixed-view camera, keep in mind that you’ll need to position it carefully.
It also has a removable lens cover to block the camera’s view, which is a nice privacy perk, though closing the cover doesn’t turn off the microphone. For complete audio privacy, you need to disable the microphone in the Ring app.
The Battery Doorbell is the better pick if alerting you to visitors, deliveries, and potential intruders is your priority. It has a 140-degree horizontal and vertical field of view that provides head-to-toe framing, plus up to 6x zoom for better detail. You can install it without wiring, though you’ll need to recharge its built-in battery. It also requires a 2.4GHz wifi network.
The main catch with both devices is the ongoing subscription cost: Live viewing, two-way talk, and basic real-time notifications all work without a subscription, but reviewing saved footage requires a paid plan, starting at $4.99 per month or $49.99 annually for one device; coverage for multiple devices at one location starts at $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually.
At these prices, the Ring Indoor Cam 2K is perfect for occasional live check-ins, while the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K is better suited to monitoring your front entrance. Buying both makes sense if you already have a Ring plan that covers extra devices.
