Home security is extremely important and the range of smart home devices that can help us keep a better eye on our surroundings is better than ever, but you don't always need a complex system to get the job done. One of the simplest devices you can install is a video doorbell and it just so happens you can now get our favorite Ring video doorbell for its lowest-ever price. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro would normally sell for around $230, but Best Buy is now offering it for just $150. This is a one-day sale though, which means it won't be available after tonight. Amazon is currently matching the $150 price, but there is no guarantee it won't increase it once Best Buy's sale ends.
The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro provides head-to-toe HD video and 3D motion detection with both a bird's eye zone and bird's eye view feature. Low-light sight uses enhanced imaging sensors so the picture is clear whether it's day or night, and package alerts let you know when a package has been delivered (though an additional subscription is required) to a specified zone. It also works with Alexa.

In his Ring Battery Doorbell Pro review, CNET's home security expert Tyler Lacoma found it to be "a master at keeping an eye on the front of your house, with excellent visual and audio clarity. The incredible number of features provides a mountain of customization to work with and some of the best cloud video-sharing options I've seen."

Why this deal matters
While our reviewer Tyler Lacoma noted that it will take newcomers some time to learn the app and there are some issues with package detection, he still found the positives far outweighed the few drawbacks. This was without the current $80 discount taken into consideration. At $150, it's down as low as we've ever seen before.
