Video doorbells are becoming a must-have for UK homeowners looking to monitor their property or track deliveries. But the cost can sometimes be a barrier. Fortunately, Ring has slashed the price of its newest 2024 video doorbell to just £59.99, down from the original £99.99, making it a great deal just in time for payday.
This latest model is incredibly user-friendly, with a setup time of only five minutes. Through the Ring Home app, users can store clips and videos securely in the cloud, ensuring easy access from anywhere.
The doorbell offers sharp 1440 x 1440 HD video quality, providing clear and detailed footage even in low-light conditions. Its unique head-to-toe view means you can see entire visitors or larger packages on your doorstep without missing a thing. For privacy-conscious users, the device includes Privacy Zones, allowing you to block off parts of the frame to avoid recording neighbours or other private areas.

If you’re considering alternatives, options like Eufy’s chime and video doorbell combo are available at Argos for about £100 with a discount code. Google’s Nest Doorbell is another premium choice priced at £179 for those wanting to splurge.
Having tested this Ring doorbell myself in 2024, I found it impressive—especially compared to my older, pricier £199 Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Setup is much simpler with fewer parts. The package now includes an easy-to-install push-pin and a sturdy bracket that securely holds the doorbell, eliminating worries about it coming loose.
Ring also provides a convenient push-pin tool to remove the doorbell from its bracket when needed. Unlike previous models, the quick-release battery is integrated into the device, allowing the entire unit to be charged as a single piece—no screws or fuss required.
While the doorbell’s 1440 x 1440 HD resolution is slightly lower than the Pro’s 1536p, the difference is negligible in real-world use. The video quality remains crisp, standing out among the best video doorbells on the market.
It’s worth noting, however, that many features—including mobile app previews and continuous recording—require a monthly subscription, which might put some potential buyers off. This subscription model is a consideration for anyone weighing their options.
Overall, Ring’s newest video doorbell offers excellent value, seamless installation, and high-quality video at a significantly reduced price—making it a smart buy for those looking to upgrade their home security.
