There are many reasons to invest in something that can help you monitor your front door, especially as we approach the holiday season. One concern is deterring porch pirates from stealing packages from your door (67% of Americans are victims of package theft, according to data from Wakefield Research, reported by Forbes.)

You could also leave the city for a while and benefit from extra security. And if you have precious children, guests or pets at home, you may just want to keep an eye on everything for peace of mind.

That’s why now is the perfect time to invest in the latest version of the popular Ring video doorbell, which is 40% off now for a limited time.

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

It connects easily to Wi-Fi, is powered by a rechargeable battery (although you can also connect it to your regular doorbell wiring for constant power), and is compatible with Alexa. It is for sale in a Venetian Bronze and Satin Nickel finish.

Additionally, this version is updated to include enhanced privacy and security features, such as audio privacy, video encryption, and restricted access to devices that you can control through the Ring app (you can learn more about its privacy options).

Amazon reviewers are thrilled with the discovery, calling it a win for peace of mind, even for those who don’t consider themselves tech-savvy. Check out what they had to say below.

“I love this doorbell! For what I paid I am very happy with the results and will only use the ring brand for now. I have so many pros to this camera and very few cons, my only concern is that the live feed is very slow unless it’s my internet. Other than that, this camera is awesome! I love the motion detection feature as well as the battery life. It arrives half charged and lasted a long time. Most features can drain your battery faster, but they’re a must-have if you need a lot of protection for your home. When setting up my doorbell, it was very easy to connect to WiFi and my app. He explained step by step how to configure the camera and how to install the brackets on the door. Once you’re done, it will show you how to use the app and what options you can customize to make your experience even better. The camera quality is absolutely amazing for a small camera and you can see everything quite clearly. I think what I paid is definitely worth it. I recommend 100%“-Michelle

“I’ve already installed Wyze cameras at my mother-in-law’s house, which were pretty decent, so we decided to use them for our new house. Instant regret. The doorbell was a total failure from the start. I had to jump through all kinds of hoops and hoops to achieve this, including asking my husband to install a chime on top of the existing chime!? All this to then take it offline in the first few days. Literally some sort of firmware malfunction that Wyze is well aware of, has no fix for and still has on the shelf! Back in the week, I received this doorbell from Ring instead. I had it ready and installed myself in a good 15 minutes. Works well, picks up movements and doesn’t lag. Great all around. I really recommend this product!»-Tita Elias

“I’m so glad I went with this doorbell camera! It has a lot of great features that make my life easier, the video and sound quality is amazing, 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, feature-rich doorbell camera. -Rudy

“I recently upgraded to the new Ring camera and it has exceeded my expectations. Video quality is incredibly clear, day or night. Motion detection is highly responsive and customizable, allowing me to receive alerts only when needed. Setup was quick and simple, 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 like the two-way audio feature, which allows me to communicate with anyone at my door, even when I’m not home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home security system!“-Trevor Gallagher

“I saw on Reddit that using a Ring doorbell as a call bell was very useful for checking on their loved one. It works like a dream!! I set the settings to only alert me if the button is pressed. Since the doorbell only has one button, it was very easy for my loved one with dementia to work. Plus, since it’s Ring, it connects easily to my other devices. Now, wherever I am, I can receive alerts as well as talk to and monitor my loved one in real time. Well done Reddit user for this great idea!! This has saved me countless hours of frustration and worry! » -Kathy Grubb
