With Halloween and Amazon’s fall Prime Day just around the corner, now’s a great time to grab a video doorbell. They make it easy to watch over trick-or-treaters and keep tabs on Prime Day deliveries and right now, one of our favorites — the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus — is on sale for $79.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date.
Ring Battery Doorbell Plus
Where to Buy:
