Amazon slashes prices on Blink and Ring video doorbells amid rising demand for budget-friendly home security

Amazon has launched a significant sale on Blink and Ring video doorbells, with discounts of up to 69%, offering affordable options for homeowners seeking basic front-door security.

Amazon is selling a range of video doorbells at sharply reduced prices, with discounts of as much as 69% on Blink and Ring models. According to Tom’s Guide, the standout offer is the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+, which is down to $47 and is being pitched as a strong budget option for shoppers who want basic front-door security without spending heavily.

The Blink side of the sale includes the standard Blink Video Doorbell at $35 and a bundle pairing the doorbell with the Blink Outdoor 4 camera for $43. Blink says the original doorbell can run for up to two years on lithium AA batteries under default settings, and it can be installed wired or wire-free. Its technical specifications list 1080p HD colour video, night vision and a 135-degree horizontal field of view. Review coverage from Android Central says the device is a low-cost choice for straightforward security, although it lacks some more advanced motion features and its app is dated in places.

Ring is also discounting its newer battery-powered doorbells. Amazon has the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K at $69 and the Battery Doorbell 2K Plus at $119. Ring says the latest model uses Retinal 2K video, offers head-to-toe framing and 6x zoom, and includes a built-in rechargeable battery. Tom’s Guide notes that the Plus version is the better buy for users who want a removable battery, since it avoids taking the whole unit down for charging. For shoppers comparing the two brands, the choice comes down to whether they want the cheapest possible entry point or a more capable camera with higher-resolution video and package detection.
