With Black Friday peeking over the horizon, Amazon welcomes the holiday by discounting its own devices weeks in advance. Right now, one of the best offers you can score features our budget video doorbell pick, the Ring Battery 2K, down to only $45.

After weeks of testing beloved models across the internet, this doorbell stood out as the cheapest you can find without sacrificing basic performance reliability — something we found other cheap brands fail at. That's why it's the budget pick in my new guide to the best video doorbells, and with deals like this ongoing promo, it's easier to justify buying than ever.

Why you'll love the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K

A far cry from the 4K video performance offered by pricier models, the Ring Battery keeps costs low with less-pretty but still serviceable 2K video. It's not ideal if you're looking to keep tabs on fine details like shipping label text, facial features, or license plates, but for more general information, it works perfectly fine. If your main priority is checking to make sure your packages arrived, the person at your door's uniform, or the color of the car parked in your driveway, it'll get the job done.

Its incredibly low price is its main selling point — and at $45, it's hard not to jump on. There are definitely cheaper models you can find (namely, Blink), but in testing, I found them unreliable at delivering notifications and at functioning as a basic doorbell. The Ring 2K battery offers the brand's reliability, making it the cheapest option I recommend for your front door safety.

After all, despite its video quality, it still uses the same intuitive and convenient Ring app as the top pick in the same smart doorbell guide. Thanks to being a battery model, it's also a no-fuss installation process that requires zero drilling or cable management. If you already have wiring set up for your front door, the wired Ring 2K is also on sale for $45 right now.
