Have you ever arrived home to discover a parcel missing from your doorstep? A popular smart home device is helping Australians combat package theft and boost their home security, and it's currently at a bargain price.
A Gadget That Puts Security in Your Pocket
The Ring Video Doorbell, now selling for $75 on Amazon Australia, is a wireless device that connects directly to your smartphone, tablet, or computer. It sends instant mobile alerts whenever someone presses the doorbell or activates its built-in motion sensors.
The key feature is Two-Way Talk, which allows you to converse with whoever is at your door from absolutely anywhere. If you're tied up, you can use pre-set Quick Replies to send an immediate message. For those invested in the Amazon ecosystem, the doorbell pairs with Alexa-enabled devices for voice announcements and seamless in-home monitoring.
Shoppers Share Real-World Security Success
With over 31,000 reviews online, Australian customers are enthusiastically endorsing the product. One buyer shared a compelling story of the doorbell proving its worth within a week of installation.
"It captured somebody trying to get into my home via the front door," the shopper wrote. "Police were called, video footage was viewed by them, and the crook was recognised. Needless to say - arrested next day and charged."
Other reviews highlight its user-friendly app, excellent battery life, and customisable features. "Battery life is phenomenal. I recharge once a month," noted one user, who also praised the optional monitor that doubles as a Spotify speaker.
Technical Specs and Christmas Timing
The device is designed for Australian conditions, boasting water-resistance to withstand rain and the elements. It can be powered by its built-in rechargeable battery or hooked up to existing doorbell wiring for constant power.
For peace of mind while travelling, users can review recorded events from the past 180 days. Now at half its usual price, the discount presents a timely opportunity to upgrade home security ahead of the Christmas period, when package deliveries peak and many households are vacant during holidays.
The combination of robust features, positive user experiences—including direct assistance in police matters—and a significant price reduction makes this smart doorbell a standout deal for Australian consumers looking to safeguard their homes.
