Ring’s Video Doorbell 2 can run with its internal rechargeable battery pack alone or hardwired to existing doorbell wiring for continuous charging. When the Ring’s motion detector senses movement or someone pushes the doorbell, the Video Doorbell 2 begins recording 1080p full HD video and audio. The device also sends an alert to the Ring mobile app on your configured smartphone.

When you receive an alert, you can talk with visitors via the Ring’s two-way audio using your phone or via a smart speaker such as the Echo Dot included with this deal. You can also view live video or recorded video on your phone or an Alexa-compatible smart display. It’s not required, but you can also sign up for an optional Ring Protect service to see, save, and share videos and photos for $3 per month.

You can use the third-generation Echo Dot to ask Alexa questions, request music, set timers and alerts, and manage and control a full smart home configuration. The Echo Dot alone is a helpful digital voice assistant, but when you pair it with other smart home devices, such as the Ring Video Doorbell 2, it becomes a key component in your home security system.

Normally $249 if purchased separately at full list price, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and third-generation Echo Dot smart speaker bundle is just $159 for this sale, a 36% savings of $89. If you’ve been thinking about installing a video doorbell this season, take advantage of this awesome price on two deservedly most popular smart home devices.

Get a Ring Video Doorbell and Echo Dot for $40 today (save $65)
Two people saying hi with a Ring Video Doorbell Wired.

Today is the second and final day of Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale, the second mega sales event of the year following the traditional Prime Day in July. We're calling it Prime Day October 2022 and it's certainly replete with compelling Prime Day deals. One of the most outrageously appealing deals today is an Amazon smart home bundle that includes the Ring Video Doorbell (wired) and Echo Dot (Gen 3) for a just $40 a of $65 from the normal combined $105 price.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell  and Echo Dot (Gen 3)
Ring, which is an Amazon-owned brand, isn't the only video doorbell company but it's the most well-known. There are other compelling Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals, but when you can pick up a Ring doorbell with an Echo Dot smart speaker for just $40, it could be hard to justify spending more on fancier models. The Ring Video Doorbell Wired includes all the features most people seek, including 1080p HD video with night vision, two-way talk, and motion detection to alert you to visitors before they ring your bell (or if they don't). Everything you need to install the Ring Video Doorbell Wired including tools comes in the package. Note that even though this Ring model connects to existing home doorbell wiring, it won't ring an existing doorbell chime, so you'll need to buy a Ring chime if you want a traditional doorbell ring. Otherwise, you can set the Ring software to send alerts to your smartphone or to an Alexa device such as the bundled Echo Dot Gen 3 smart speaker. if you want to view previously recorded videos, the Ring Protect Plan, sold separately, stores your recordings for up to 180 days.
