There’s a reason why the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus is one of the most popular home gadgets in the tech world right now.

Compact, clever and seriously easy to use, this smart doorbell is packed with features that make everyday life just a little bit safer, smarter and more convenient.

As part of Amazon Australia’s early Prime Day sale, the upgraded model is now available for $149, down from $249 — that’s 40 per cent off, and one of the best-value home security deals around.

This isn’t your average doorbell.

With 1536p HD video, you get a crystal-clear, head-to-toe view of whoever’s standing at your door.

That means no more awkward guessing when you get a motion alert or wondering if your delivery actually arrived.

It also works brilliantly after dark. The colour night vision feature gives you a full, bright picture even in low-light settings, whether it’s an early-morning grocery drop or someone suspicious lurking in the evening.

The Quick Replies feature acts like a voicemail system for your front door. Select a pre-recorded message for visitors and have them leave a reply you can review later. It’s perfect for when you’re working, wrangling kids, or simply not in the mood for a door knock.

You can customise motion zones, block out areas with Privacy Zones, and save your video history for up to 180 days with a Ring Protect subscription (sold separately).

It also sends you a unique Doorbell Call alert that pops up like a phone call when someone rings, cutting through notification clutter so you don’t miss a thing.

The Quick Release Battery Pack makes it renter-friendly and super simple to install, no wiring, no fuss.

Plus, the Package Alerts feature (available with a Ring Protect Plan) notifies you when a delivery is detected in a specific zone, so your parcels won’t go unnoticed.

Whether you want to keep tabs on deliveries, screen uninvited guests or just see what’s happening at your front door while you’re away, this small but powerful gadget gives you eyes on everything.

And at under $150, it’s a rare chance to score a premium model without the premium price tag.
