If you’ve been dragging your feet on setting up home security, Amazon’s current Prime members-only deal on this Ring bundle might make things a little easier for you. It all includes the basics—a keypad, motion sensor, contact sensor, range extender, and base station—plus the newer Ring Indoor Cam.
That’s enough to secure one entry and a main room or hallway, which is usually where most people start, and the whole setup is currently going for $121.99 on Amazon, but only for Prime members. That’s a substantial 53% discount from the regular price of $259.98—and much lower even than the previous low of $244.99, according to price tracking tools.
This Ring Alarm kit is a good choice if you don’t want to mess with wiring anything, as it’s all battery powered. PCMag describes it as a simple DIY solution, and the setup mostly lives up to that: The app walks you through connecting everything via Z-Wave, and once it’s going, you can arm or disarm using the app, a voice assistant, or the included keypad. The sensors will send alerts straight to your phone if anything sets them off. You don’t need a subscription to use the alarm basics, but if you want extras like cloud recordings or assisted monitoring, you’ll need to subscribe to a Ring Home plan—$4.99 a month for one camera or $9.99 to cover all Ring devices in your home.
The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam adds a bit more control, with privacy-first updates like a physical cover for the lens and a button to disable the mic, notes this PCMag review. It’s not battery-powered, so you’ll need to position it near an outlet, but its footage is sharp, the audio is clear, and it plays nicely with Alexa (though it lacks Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, or IFTTT support). And since it’s small, it doesn’t scream “security camera” when sitting on a shelf.
What do you think so far?
On its own, this setup won’t secure a big house. If you’ve got multiple doors or large spaces to cover, you’ll probably need to add more sensors and cameras. But as a low-commitment, high-impact starting point, it’s a solid choice—especially at the current price.
