Amazon’s Ring is offering discounts of up to 50% on select cameras, doorbells, and security bundles this month. While the savings are substantial – up to $150 off combinations like the Wired Doorbell Pro and Floodlight Cam, or $59 off the Whole Home Basic Kit – buyers should be aware of Ring’s controversial policy of sharing footage with law enforcement.
The company’s cameras and ecosystem work best when integrated, making it easier to manage devices and subscriptions. However, Ring requires a paid subscription plan ($5–$20/month) to store footage; local storage is not an option. Despite this, the deals may still appeal to existing users looking to expand their setup, as switching ecosystems can be inconvenient.
Beyond Ring, other tech sales include up to $100 off Logitech refurbished products and discounts on Loop Earplugs. In broader tech news, the Justice Department recently released Epstein files – though not everything required by law – and scammers in China are using AI-generated images to fraudulently obtain refunds.
The core question remains: are the savings worth the privacy trade-offs? If you already use Ring, these deals make sense; otherwise, consider the implications before investing.
