Amazon Father’s Day sale: Blink and Ring security camera systems get price cuts

Father’s Day is just around the corner and Amazon is slashing prices on Echo, Ring, Blink, and Fire TV devices for the occasion. Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, but more often than not, a practical piece of technology can make a great gift for any discerning family man. With discounts on so many Amazon devices going on now, it’s the perfect time to pick up a present for your father before Sunday, June 16.

Security cameras and alarm systems, in particular, are a great way to give dad a little extra peace of mind around the home. Ring security kits are getting some of the best discounts from Amazon right now, but you can also pick up the more affordable Blink home system for just $64. We’ve also found some pretty great deals on 4K TVs for Father’s Day if that’s more your dad’s style.

If you’re not to keep your home security simple, this indoor kit is a great option. With Amazon Alexa compatibility, it will work great with an existing smart home setup — though you don’t need an Echo to use it. It comes with a built-in motion detector, allowing for smartphone notifications to be sent to you via WiFi. This connectivity also allows you to easily control your camera from pretty much anywhere with a decent internet connection. Additionally, Blink offers free cloud storage, so you won’t need to pay monthly fees to store videos.

Normally priced at $80, this Blink security kit has been discounted to a nice $64 for a limited time. This 20% discount can also be applied to the 2-camera and 3-camera systems.

Ring Video Doorbell 2

— $159


Normally $199, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 has dropped down to just $159 during this sale. This model is the least expensive with 1080p full HD video, because do you really need 4K security footage? The Ring Video Doorbell 2 can run on battery power or by attaching to existing wiring if you want to replace your old doorbell system.

Ring Floodlight Cam

— $199

If you already have a flood light, you can just replace it with this one without too much effort.

Even though OLED TVs have been around for a while, their pricing makes them very much a luxury purchase, but luckily, pricing has been coming down a lot recently. If you're thinking of upgrading to one, then we'd very strongly recommend the Sony BRAVIA XR A95L, which we gave a perfect score of 10 out of 10. Even better, there is a considerable $500 discount from Walmart that brings the total price down to $2,899 from $3,400, and while that's still quite pricey, it's well worth it for one of the best TVs on the market when it comes to QD-OLED technology.

Why you should buy the Sony 65-inch BRAVIA XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV
When our editor at large, Caleb Denison, got his hands on the Sony BRAVIA XR A95L, he said, "This TV is just next-level amazing. The A95L doesn’t just deliver the wow — it delivers the whoa." That's for a good reason too, since it manages to hit all the big checkmarks pretty well, such as an excellent picture quality that includes high color purity and saturation levels, as well as overall great brightness. It's also great for gamers as it has a pretty low input gaming mode, as well as a base refresh rate of 120Hz.
