When it comes to home security, there's such a wide range of devices and packages its hard to know where to begin. One of the simplest things you can do is install a video doorbell, like our favorite Ring video doorbell, the Battery Doorbell Pro. And as luck would have it, Woot currently has the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro for just $150, matching the lowest price we've seen. And because Woot is an Amazon company, if you're an Amazon Prime member you can get free standard shipping. Even if you're not a Prime member, you'll still get the big price cut.
The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro provides head-to-toe HD video and 3D motion detection with both a bird's eye zone and bird's eye view feature. Low-light sight uses enhanced imaging sensors so the picture is clear whether it's day or night, and package alerts let you know when a package has been delivered (though an additional subscription is required) to a specified zone. It also works with Alexa.

In his Ring Battery Doorbell Pro review, CNET home security editor Tyler Lacoma found the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro to be "a master at keeping an eye on the front of your house, with excellent visual and audio clarity. The incredible number of features provides a mountain of customization to work with and some of the best cloud video-sharing options I've seen."
Why this deal matters
While our reviewer noted that it will take newcomers some time to learn the app and there are some issues with package detection, Lacoma still found the positives far outweighed the few drawbacks. And this was without the current $80 discount taken into consideration. At $150 it's well worth the investment in home security.
