There are a lot of reasons to invest in something that can help keep watch on your front door, especially with the holiday season approaching. One concern is deterring porch pirates from snatching packages off your doorstep (67% of Americans experience package theft, per Wakefield Research data, reported by Forbes.)

You might also just be leaving town for a while and could use some extra security. And if you have precious kiddos, guests or pets at home, maybe you simply want to keep an eye on things for peace of mind.

That’s why it’s an excellent time to invest in the latest version of the famed Ring video doorbell, which is 40% off right now for a limited time.

The Ring lets you see, hear and speak to anyone at your doorstep right from your phone, tablet or computer, so you can keep a live eye on your door wherever you are, including at nighttime. It also gives you mobile notifications when it detects motion or when someone presses the doorbell, so you’ll never a miss a person or a package. And with the newest model, the camera captures 66% more vertical coverage compared to earlier ones!

It connects easily to Wi-Fi, is powered by a rechargeable battery (though you can also hook it up to your regular doorbell wiring for constant power) and is compatible with Alexa. It’s on sale in both a Venetian bronze and satin nickel finish.

Plus, this version is updated to include enhanced privacy and security features, like audio privacy, video encryption and restricted device access that you can control through the Ring app (you can read more about its privacy options).

Amazon reviewers rave about this find, calling it a win for peace of mind even for those who don’t consider themselves tech-savvy. Check out what they have to say below.

“I love this ring doorbell! For what I paid for it, I am very happy with the results and will only use ring brand for now on. I have so many pros to this camera and very little cons, my only concern is that the live feed is very slow unless it is my internet. Other than that this camera is great! I love the motion detection feature as well as battery life. It comes half charged and it lasted a long time. Most features can run your battery down faster but it’s much needed if you’re needing a lot of protection for your home. When setting up my ring doorbell, it was very easy to connect to the WiFi and my app. It went through step by step how to set up the camera and how to install the brackets on the door. Once you have finished, it will show you how to work the app and what options you can customize to make your experience even better. The camera quality is absolutely amazing for a little camera and you can see everything pretty clearly. I think what I paid for is definitely worth it. I recommend 100%” — Michelle

“Previously installed Wyze cameras at my mother in laws which have been pretty decent so we decided to go with them for our new home. Instant regret. The doorbell was a total bust from the beginning. I had to go through all sorts of hoops and hurdles to get it going including having my husband install a chime to the existing chime!? All this only to have it go offline within the first few days. Literally some kind of firmware malfunction that Wyze is well aware of, has no solution for yet still has them on the shelf! Returned within a week, got this doorbell instead from Ring. I had it ready and installed myself within a good 15 minutes. Works well, picks up on motion and no lagging. Great all around. Truly recommend this product!” — Tita Elias

“I’m so glad I upgraded to this doorbell camera! It has so many cool features that make my life easier, the video and sound quality is incredible, and it’s easy to connect to my phone. And the battery life has been great so far. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich doorbell camera.” — Rudy

“I recently upgraded to the new Ring camera, and it has exceeded my expectations. The video quality is incredibly clear, both day and night. The motion detection is highly responsive and customizable, allowing me to receive alerts only when needed. The setup was quick and straightforward, taking less than 15 minutes to get everything up and running. The camera integrates seamlessly with my Ring app, making it easy to monitor my home from anywhere. I also appreciate the two-way audio feature, which allows me to communicate with anyone at my door, even when I’m not home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their home security system!” — Trevor Gallagher

“I saw on Reddit that using a Ring doorbell to serve as a call bell was super helpful as they watched over their loved one. It works like a dream!! I put the settings to only alert me if the button is pressed. Since the doorbell only has the one button, it was super easy for my loved one with dementia to work. Also, because it is Ring, it connected to my other devices with ease. Now, no matter where I am , I can receive the alerts as well as speak and watch my loved one in real time. Way to go Reddit user for this great idea!! It has saved me countless hours of frustration and worry!” — Kathy Grubb
