Even if you’re a little late to the Prime Day party, this can’t-miss shopping event is still going strong until July 11. You won’t need a special invite to this party, but you will need a Prime membership. If you don’t have one, worry not; Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial to Prime, so you can not only shop the day away but also enjoy two-day shipping and countless other benefits.
Among the hot items this Prime Day are security devices like the $60 Ring Indoor Cam, which is on sale for only $30. Shoppers love this camera, saying, “It provides peace of mind in a compact package.”
Ring Indoor Cam, $30 (was $60) at Amazon
This indoor camera is excellent for keeping tabs on your home at night or when you’re away. You can set one up in minutes; just plug it in, connect it to the Wi-Fi, and you’ll get real-time alerts on your phone anytime it captures anything suspicious. Of course, you can customize what constitutes an alert, so it’s not going off all the time. From a handy smartphone app, its 1080p camera not only lets you keep tabs on what’s happening in real time, but it records happenings as well. In the event of an emergency, you can not only use the onboard microphone to talk but also sound off a powerful siren that may fend off home intruders. The camera has excellent night vision capabilities, too.
While you can run your camera 24/7, its handy privacy slider deactivates it until you’re ready to rev it up again. And because it’s a Ring camera, it’s compatible with Alexa and Amazon Home, so you can operate it via voice controls, provided you connect it to a device like Echo Show. While it works great in any home, it’s equally exemplary in garages and small businesses.
“The latest Ring Indoor Cam truly exceeded my expectations,” one shopper said. “Setup was a breeze — less than five minutes with the Ring app — and the 1080p video clarity, including night vision, is outstanding. The two-way audio is impressively sharp, which makes checking in on my pets while I’m away that much better.”
The Ring Indoor Cam retails for $60, but you can shop it for only $30 for Prime Day. At that price, you can buy a few and bring peace of mind to multiple rooms in your home.
