The holidays are full of joy and fellowship. Between the holiday parties, volunteering opportunities, and shopping excursions, there are plenty of reasons to be out and enjoying everything the season has to offer. That comes with a flip side, though. Your home will be empty a lot during the holidays.

Maybe you want to keep an eye out for package deliveries to the front door. Perhaps you want some peace of mind when you’re heading out of town on vacation. Maybe you just want to give a thoughtful gift to a friend who just moved into their new home. Whatever the case may be, we’ve got some options from Ring to help make sure you stay connected to what’s going on in and around your home this holiday season (and beyond).

Ring Video Doorbell

Video Doorbell - $99.99

With crystal clear 1080p HD video and two-way talk, you’ll be able to let your holiday party guests know to come on in while you’re still in the kitchen finalizing the snack tray. You can even thank the delivery guy after multiple present drop offs! All you have to do is customize your settings and get real-time motion notifications1 when your doorbell is pressed or someone approaches your door. Just have your phone handy!

Ring Stick Up Camera

Stick-Up Cam Pro - $179.99

This weather-resistant camera’s wire-free design offers incredible flexibility. Either indoors or outdoors, the crisp 1080p HDR video will let you check in on the gifts or see if a deer has eaten the carrot nose off the snowman in your backyard. With exact motion alerts, powered by radar technology, and 3D Motion Detection, you’ll be able to see the path someone took around your yard, when placed outdoors.

Ring Doorbell Camera Plus

Battery Doorbell Plus - $179.99

The Battery Doorbell Plus provides super clear HD+ of every person, every package, and every detail. With its Head-to-Toe Video, it offers a taller field of view. That way, you can see more of the folks who are stopping by or keep an eye on packages2 closer to your doorstep. Just like the Video Doorbell, this works on any home and is super easy to install.
