Gamers who’ve invested in smart home ecosystems for convenience or security now have a straightforward path to add two more devices: the Ring Battery Doorbell and the Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen), both bundled at $70—a 50% discount off their combined regular price.
The deal targets those who want seamless integration with Alexa-enabled smart speakers, which are already common in gaming setups for voice-controlled media or home automation. But the practical value goes beyond convenience; it’s about filling gaps in security coverage without breaking the bank.
What’s actually changing
The Ring Battery Doorbell stands out with its improved vertical coverage, offering head-to-toe video that previous models lacked. This means clearer identification of visitors or packages at the door, a feature that could appeal to gamers who receive frequent deliveries or want to monitor package drop-offs during long gaming sessions.
Meanwhile, the Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) is designed for indoor monitoring—whether it’s keeping an eye on pets, children, or simply checking in on a room while immersed in a game. Both devices run on battery power, eliminating the need for hardwiring and making them easy to install anywhere.
What remains unclear
The biggest unknown is how long this discount will last. While Ring occasionally offers promotions, deep discounts like this are less common, so early adopters should act quickly if they want to take advantage of the savings.
Another consideration is whether the bundle includes all necessary accessories, such as mounting hardware or extra batteries. Typically, these deals include the core devices but may exclude extended warranties or premium subscriptions, which could add to the long-term cost.
A reality check
The $70 price tag is a significant saving, but it’s important to note that this deal doesn’t unlock advanced features like 4K video resolution. The Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) supports standard HD, which may not meet the expectations of users who prioritize ultra-high detail for gaming-related content creation or streaming.
What’s confirmed
- The bundle includes both the Ring Battery Doorbell and the Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen).
- Both devices integrate with Alexa, making them compatible with existing smart home setups.
- The discount applies to the full bundle, not individual items.
For those who’ve been on the fence about expanding their smart home setup, this deal removes a major barrier. Whether it’s for security, convenience, or simply leveraging Alexa’s ecosystem, the $70 bundle is one of the most accessible entry points into Ring’s product line—if you move quickly.
