50% off Ring Battery Doorbell on Amazon — early Black Friday deal

While most people think about gifts and parties whenever the holidays roll around, my mind goes to darker places — porch pirates.

If you think I’m being paranoid, know that 37 million packages are stolen in America each year. And unless you want to join the crowd, you’d better listen up!

There’s an easy (and quick) solution to the problem of package thieves, and grabbing a Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (50% off on Amazon) before Black Friday.

The sleek security system allows you to see everything outside your door, from your delivery man’s face to the package he places on your doormat. Armed with Color Night Vision and Two-Way Talk, it pairs with Alexa and makes it easy to keep an eye on expected deliveries.

One customer who purchased it called it a “no brainer” buy and gave it a five-star rating. “Having a wife who frequently shops online, we have packages on our front steps multiple times a week,” they wrote. “I kept seeing videos of other people’s Ring cameras catching porch pirates and knew that I needed one. The price of this ring camera can not be beat. It has a very easy setup process and was easy to mount outside…I would recommend this to anyone!”

Even if you’re not super techy, the wireless design of the Ring Doorbell makes for intuitive installation. It connects to your wi-fi and has a quick-release, long-lasting battery that can be charged with a charging port. Once paired with the Ring app, you can monitor your home from anywhere, whether you’re in bed, at work or on vacation.

Want more? If you subscribe to Ring Protect Subscription, you’ll be able to record, customize the camera’s motion detection, and set an automatic response for when someone rings your bell.

Is it the most holiday-inspired gift, no? But is it a perfect add to cart before the holiday packages start dropping at your door? Yes. And at its current sale price, it’s probably way less than anything you’re having shipped to your home.
