Black Friday is officially over in the US and UK, but a huge number of Black Friday deals remain out in the wild, particularly those for Ring doorbells.
It was a slow start in the run-up, but several great bargains on Ring doorbells and cameras began to appear with Amazon's early Black Friday sale, and many of these savings have remained live ever since. For example, these Ring Video Doorbell and Amazon Echo bundles, where you get a video doorbell alongside a smart speaker (or smart display), are still at record-low prices.

Buying tips: 3 of the best Ring Doorbells to look for on Black Friday
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 captures detailed footage with a 1:1 aspect ratio so you can see the full length of anyone on your doorstep and any packages they might have with them. It also provides colorized night vision. The camera takes areas of ambient light within its field of view and applies a simulated color to them – tinting the sky blue, for example. It doesn’t create a full-color picture, but it makes night-time footage easier to decipher.
Ring’s battery-powered smart doorbell is larger than the Video Doorbell Pro, but offers many of the same great features. Images cover a 160-degree field of view, it records clear Full HD footage, and even stores the four seconds of video recorded before the motion detection was activated. Known as pre roll, this is design to help you identify exactly what triggered the alert - but it's in color, unlike its predecessor, which only stores black-and-white pre-roll.
The Ring Video Doorbell Wired offers excellent value for money. Just like other Ring smart doorbells, it records clear Full HD video and audio, but has a slightly narrower 155-degree field of view. The Full HD color footage recorded by the doorbell camera is clear and detailed, and although video recorded after dark is black and white rather than color, it's still easy to see.
Which Ring Doorbell should I buy?
The right Ring Doorbell for you will depend on your budget and home security setup, but here are a few suggestions. If you're on a budget, then you might want to check out the 2020 Ring video doorbell model. This device features several improvements over the original including 1080p (or full HD) video and a rechargeable battery pack that's easier to remove. If you have an Amazon Alexa, this Ring doorbell also features two-way talk so you can hear and talk to visitors using your smart speaker.
However, if cost is less of a concern, you'll want to look at the upgraded Ring Video Doorbell 3. This model has all the features we saw on the Ring Doorbell Pro but now includes improved motion detection with fewer false notifications than past generations because of the addition of a 'near zone'. You're also getting new security features with the Control Center so you can add and remove authorized client devices, shared users, and select linked accounts–all from one place on your phone, tablet, or PC.
You'll also want to look out for supporting Ring devices that can boost the security of your home even further, such as the Ring Stick Up Cam.
