The best Ring & Blink deals ahead of October Prime Day

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. 

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. 

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. 

Though you cannot pair it with an existing doorbell chime, you can purchase it in a bundle with a Ring Chime for only $69.

ZDNET is always looking for the best deals so that you don't have to. We take extensive care in checking which products have the best prices but also which ones are most worthy of your hard-earned money. The quality of the product, our personal experience with it, and price history all go into determining which deals are worth sharing with you. 

We'll be checking for Amazon Early Access Deals often leading up to and during the two-day sale event to bring you the best deals as soon as they're available.

Amazon is hosting another sale this year: Prime Early Access Sale, which has come to be popularly known as October Prime Day, as a follow up to its big Prime Day event this past July. 

Though this event isn't technically a Prime Day sale, it's reminiscent of one: it'll last two days, feature a lot of deals --especially on Amazon devices--, and it's exclusive to rime members.
