Ring Doorbells have boomed in popularity over recent years and it's not hard to see why. These clever connected cameras are simple to install and will watch over the front of your home 24 hours a day. They will even let you chat with delivery drivers via two-way communication, beam live footage to your phone, and record anything or anyone they spot on your drive. It's clever stuff, and if you've been thinking of joining the Ring revolution or your current camera is on its last legs, now is a good time to take the plunge.

Amazon has just launched a new deal that has slashed the price of the latest Ring by a whopping 40 percent. That brings the cost down from £99.99 to just £59.99. That's a very good discount, but things get even better if you already have a security camera, and you are happy to trade in. Amazon says it will reduce things by another 20 percent when handing over an old device plus there is a gift card up for grabs as well.

"Get an Amazon gift card and 20% off one new qualifying Ring or Blink smart doorbell or camera when you trade in," Amazon confirmed on its website.

That deal reduces things to just £48 which is less than half price!

So, what's new with this Ring Doorbell, and is it worth the upgrade? This latest connected camera was launched by Amazon last year and features several useful upgrades. 

Firstly, it's now easier to install with Amazon promising that it will be filming live footage of your driveway within five minutes of removing it from its box.

The latest Ring can record head-to-toe footage so you never miss a moment and there is also much better quality when the sun sets thanks to HD Video with Colour Night Vision.

Other features include "Quick Replies" which lets you choose from a selection of pre-recorded messages that play whenever your Video Doorbell is pressed plus you can set zones so alerts don't keep going off if you live on a busy street.

This deal also offers a free Ring Home subscription for a month. This allows you store recordings for up to 180 days plus get specific alerts for people and parcels.

It is worth noting that Argos also has money off the latest Ring Doorbell although there isn't the extra discount when trading in.
