Ring's new police data policy
Ring is reintroducing a policy to enable local law enforcement to request footage directly from Ring users. Whether to invest in Ring products depends on your comfort with this arrangement.
Up to fifty percent off this month
Ring is running a deal all month long with up to fifty percent off different products and bundles. You can get Ring cameras, doorbells, and outdoor cameras at a variety of discounts.
Starter Pro Kit: save one hundred fifty dollars
Ring's Starter Pro Kit, which includes the Wired Doorbell Pro and Floodlight Cam, is discounted one hundred fifty dollars off the set. It gives you camera feeds at your doorstep and over your garage.
Whole Home Basic Kit: save fifty nine dollars
Ring's Whole Home Basic Kit is discounted fifty nine dollars off. It includes the Outdoor Cam Plus Battery, Battery Doorbell, and Alarm Security Kit for video surveillance and interior sensors.
Pet package: fifty percent off with tag
Ring's pet package is fifty percent off right now. You get the Indoor Cam and Pet Tag, which has a QR code that lets anyone who finds your pet scan it and contact you.
Outdoor Cam bundle: thirty dollars off
The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus Battery and Battery Doorbell bundle is discounted thirty dollars, now one hundred sixty dollars. It includes a free thirty day trial of Ring Protect two.
You need a subscription to view footage
Ring has no option to locally store video footage. You need a subscription plan to play back video and see what set off the camera or who was at the door.
The bottom line
Ring is offering up to fifty percent off cameras and security products this month, though its policy allowing police to request footage directly from users may concern buyers.
