‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET’s editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

Home security deals: You can now buy the Ring video doorbell for only $35 on Amazon

Home security is no longer just about making sure you lock your doors and windows. Thanks to the development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, we can now monitor our homes in real-time, no matter where we are, and make use of everything from motion sensors to video doorbells.
It’s not often that these devices come cheap and it can be expensive to start up a home security ecosystem. However, if you’re willing to compromise a little — such as by picking up a refurbished model instead of a brand-new product — prices can substantially drop.
One such deal is available. Over at Amazon, you can pick up a 2021 model of the Ring video doorbell for just under $35, a discount of $20, or 36%.
The Ring video doorbell is a wired product complete with 1080p HD recording, two-way conversations, 2.4 GHz connectivity, and night vision. You can connect the doorbell to the Ring mobile app to check on your home at any time as well as talk to visitors — expected or otherwise. There is an optional subscription available, Ring Protect, which will save recordings and photos in the cloud.
