The best Ring & Blink deals on Amazon for October Prime Day
The top three deals are below, but we've listed additional Amazon deals worth checking out further down the page, and we've highlighted other great finds at non-Amazon retailers, such as Target and Best Buy, too.
THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE RING AND BLINK DEALS BELOW.
Ring's wired video doorbell is the most budget-friendly option the company offers, as well as the second-most popular video doorbell. It's a small, compact device that is easily installed with your home's existing doorbell wiring, so it doesn't have a battery-operated option.
This video doorbell features 1080p HD video, along with night vision, two-way talk, and motion detection. At only $39, this is the lowest price this doorbell has ever been sold for, so it's definitely the best deal on it right now, and you can get it with a free 3rd Generation Echo Dot as well.
Though you cannot pair it with an existing doorbell chime, you can purchase it in a bundle with a Ring Chime for only $69.
This deal includes two Blink Mini cameras for less than the price of one: just $29 for both. Blink Mini cameras are, like its name says, compact indoor cameras that pack a punch: with 1080p video quality, plus real-time motion notifications, and two-way audio.
We keep ours as a pet cam pointed to our dog's bed and it's really helpful when we're out of the house, so we can check in on our pup from anywhere by using our phones and get motion alerts.
If you have a Blink video doorbell, one of these cameras can also double as a chime for it.
This second-generation Ring Alarm bundle is an 8-piece security system for anyone looking to get started on a Ring smart home. This kit includes a base station, keypad, four contact sensors, a motion sensor, and a range extender.
For the DIYers, this kit makes smart home security highly customizable with little work. Just install the different sensors where you need them and set up your account. After that, if you wanted to add any other devices to your security system, you can get more Ring-brand products or any others with the "Works with Ring" tag.
To unlock the full potential of this home security system, a Ring Protect subscription is required. With one, you can get 24/7 professional monitoring, video recording, 24/7 backup internet, and emergency police, fire, and medical response.
It's also worth noting the other Ring Alarm kits that are on sale as part of the Prime Early Access event:
5-Piece kit is $139 (Save $60)14-Piece kit is $229 (Save $100)This is Ring's most popular video doorbell: the 2020-release, battery-operated model. Featuring 1080p HD video, Alexa voice control, two-way talk, night vision, and advanced motion detection, this video doorbell is at the lowest price we've ever seen it before -- even lower than during Amazon's July Prime Day Sale.
The built-in rechargeable battery makes for an easy installation, since there is no wiring involved, making it a perfect fit for anyone looking to upgrade their current doorbell setup. However, if you prefer a wired installation, this doorbell is also equipped for installation using your existing doorbell's wiring.
