Black Friday is one of the best times of year to shop the best Ring Video Doorbells. At Tom's Guide we've tested all the important Ring models, and we keep an eye on the best prices of the year too.
If you're short on time, the deal I recommend most is the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus for $119 at Amazon. We rank it as the best doorbell Ring has made due to its expansive vertical view, 1536p HD video capture and ease of use. Right now it's $60 off and its lowest price ever.
Meanwhile, if you're on a smaller budget, the Ring Video Doorbell for $54 at Amazon is an excellent choice. It's the best inexpensive video doorbell we've ever tested and right now it's $44 off, making it even better value.

Where to find the best Ring video doorbell deals
The best place to shop for the best Ring video doorbell deals (aside from Ring.com) is Amazon. That's because Amazon owns Ring, so it tends to offer the best discounts, and often bundles Ring's devices with Amazon smart speakers and displays. Yes, you can find many of the same deals at Best Buy and B&H Photo, but Amazon tends to save the best discounts for itself.
What should I look for in a Ring Black Friday deal?
Although Ring began as a video doorbell company, it has since expanded to home security cameras, DIY alarm kits, and other outdoor lighting. Pretty much all of the company's portfolio of products are on sale for Black Friday; here are some tips for finding the best Ring Black Friday deal for you.
Ring video doorbells
Many of the best Black Friday Ring video doorbell deals involve bundling the doorbell itself with another smart home device, such as an Amazon Echo Dot or Amazon Echo Show 5. If you're thinking of buying a deal that includes the Ring Video Doorbell Wired, we highly recommend looking at ones that include the Echo Dot or a Ring Chime, as the doorbell itself will not work with your existing mechanical doorbell chime.
Package detection
If you're planning on receiving a lot of deliveries, then we recommend looking for deals on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, and the Ring Video Doorbell (2020), the only models in the company's lineup that have package detection.
Field of view
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 and the Battery Doorbell Plus have a squarer field of view — the company calls it head-to-toe video— good if you want to see what's happening closer to the foot of your door. All the rest of Ring's video doorbells have a more horizontal field of view, so you'll see more side-to-side, but less up-and-down.
Battery or wired?
If you're replacing a traditional video doorbell, then it's probably worth looking for a wired video doorbell. That way, you don't have to worry about recharging a battery. If, however, you're planning to put a video doorbell in a spot where there isn't any power, a battery-operated model is the way to go.
Among Ring's current battery-powered video doorbells, only the Battery Doorbell Plus has a removable battery, so you can buy a second battery and swap it with the first. When the battery runs out on the other models, you have to remove the entire unit off your door to recharge it — which means you won't have a video doorbell during that time.

Ring security cameras
Ring makes both indoor and outdoor security cameras, which gives you plenty to choose from. Here's a quick rundown of some of the biggest features you'll find for each
Pro vs. Plus
Many of Ring's security cameras, whether they're for outdoor or indoor use, will have either "Plus" or "Pro" at the end of their names. This connotes special features that one camera will have.
Pro models come with HDR video, which means that you'll get better colors and contrast from your video, especially if there's a lot of shadows, or areas in your video that are really bright or really dark.
In addition, Pro models have 3D motion detection, as well as "Bird's Eye Zones" and "Bird's Eye Motion," which allows you to more precisely track where someone or something is detected within the range of the camera's view.
Lastly, the Pro models have 5GHz Wi-Fi, which means higher throughput, as well as enhanced audio, so you can better hear what's going on.
Outdoor cameras
Ring has three outdoor cameras: Stick-up cameras, which do not have their own light source, Spotlight cameras, and Floodlight cameras. For each type of camera, you can also choose its power source; depending on the model, you can pick from battery-powered, plug-in, wired or solar-powered.
The Spotlight cam is the most versatile here, as you can choose from a model that's battery-powered, plugs into an outlet, can be hardwired to your home, or can run off solar power.
| Row 0 - Cell 0 | Stick Up Cam | Spotlight Cam | Floodlight Cam |
| Battery | Yes | Yes | No |
| Plug-in | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Solar | Yes | Yes | No |
| Hardwired | No | Yes | Yes |
