Package theft remains a growing problem, with over 119 million deliveries stolen in 2023 alone. It’s no surprise that video doorbells have become one of the most popular smart home gadgets of 2024. 63% of smart home device owners say security was the main reason they invested in devices like smart locks and video doorbells.
If you’re ready to join the smart security crowd or want a better way to monitor your front door, the Ring Battery Doorbell (2024 model) is a great place to start. It’s currently available for $49.99, 50% off the everyday price. The wire-free setup makes this a wise choice for renters, homeowners, and anyone who wants peace of mind without a complicated install.
This latest Ring model builds on previous generations with Head-to-Toe HD+ video (1440 × 1440 resolution), allowing you to see visitors from head to toe, plus packages at your doorstep. It offers color night vision for improved visibility after dark and two-way talk with noise reduction for conversations between the doorbell and your phone.
One of the best things about this doorbell is its flexibility. It’s fully battery-powered, so you don’t need existing wiring to get started. The rechargeable battery charges via USB-C and lasts several weeks on a full charge, depending on usage.
You’ll get real-time alerts on your phone through the Ring app when motion is detected, and you can customize motion zones to focus only on key areas, like your porch or walkway. Pair it with Alexa to get announcements on Echo devices or use voice commands to check the live feed.
Keep in mind: to access features like video recording, rich notifications, and package detection, you’ll need a Ring Home subscription (starting at $4.99/month). Still, many essential features, such as live view, two-way talk, and instant alerts, work without a plan.
If you want reliable front-door monitoring without going overboard, this one is worth grabbing while the deal lasts.
