Home security used to mean pricey installations, endless cables and waiting around for a technician. These days, protecting your space is as simple as charging up a device and connecting it to an app.
Right now, Amazon Australia is making it even easier to step up your security game with a serious deal on one of the most popular brands in the market.
The Ring Battery Video Doorbell and Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) bundle is down to just $149, saving you $70 off the regular $219 price. That’s a 32 per cent discount and $99 less than buying the two devices separately.

This set is designed for anyone who wants extra peace of mind without the headache of complicated wiring. The Ring Battery Video Doorbell gives you a 1440p HD view of whoever shows up at your doorstep.
The clever head-to-toe view means you’ll see not only your visitors’ faces but also any packages left on the ground. Perfect for those who are tired of guessing when deliveries have actually arrived.
The camera is also built for everyday convenience. Colour night vision lets you see clearly even in the middle of the night, and the Quick Replies feature acts like a little answering machine for your front door.
If you can’t get to the doorbell, you can choose from a set of pre-recorded messages that will play automatically when someone presses it.
For those who want more control, there are adjustable privacy zones that let you block off parts of the view, as well as fine-tuned alerts.
The app can be set to notify you only when people are detected, cutting down on unnecessary pings. Pair it with a Ring Home subscription and you can even get package alerts, video storage for up to 180 days and call-style notifications whenever someone presses the bell.
The Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) completes the bundle by covering what’s happening inside your home.
With 1080p HD video, two-way talk and a simple plug-in design, it’s ideal for keeping an eye on pets, checking in while you’re away, or making sure the kids are actually doing their homework.
A swivel privacy cover lets you take control of the lens and microphone whenever you want.
Installation is refreshingly easy. The doorbell can be set up in just five minutes by attaching the mount and snapping it into place, and the indoor camera simply plugs into a standard power socket.
Once connected through the Ring app, you can control both devices, adjust settings and arm or disarm them from wherever you are.
Even better, the devices are Alexa compatible. That means you can simply ask: “Alexa, show me the front door” and see who’s outside on your Echo Show or other Alexa-enabled device.
Deals like this tend to sell out fast, especially when they’re bundled with a 30-day free trial of Ring Protect.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your home security, this is the perfect time to do it before prices go back up.
