One of the biggest nuisances is having to charge the battery, which can leave you without any visibility from your front door for a number of hours.
An accessory that helps get around this is the solar charger.
And with weather starting to brighten up across the UK this week it could be the best time to consider one.
"I've had mine since the end of February and I've not had to charge mine since," one buyer wrote on HotUKDeals.
"Really made a difference for me."
Another said: "This is decent.
"Extends battery but does not stop need for recharge especially in winter. It's worth it for the money."
The device works with selected Ring doorbell models, including:
Ring Doorbell 3
Ring Doorbell 3 Plus
Ring Doorbell 4
Ring Doorbell Plus
Ring Doorbell Battery Pro
The Ring Solar Charger usually costs £40 to buy from Ring directly.

But currently a highly-rated eBay seller is listing the official device for £20.
You can save even more money with a discount code at the moment.
Selected accounts can add the code LOOPY20 at the checkout for 20 per cent off.
Will the Ring Solar Charger work for me?
According to Ring, battery-powered doorbell can stay charged even longer than before with just three to four hours of direct sunlight every day.
"For best results, install facing south if located in the northern hemisphere; install facing north if located in the southern hemisphere," the company says.
That will bring the device's total cost down to £15.96.
The LOOPY20 code is only valid until May 2 so there are only a few days left to take advantage of the offer.

Warning issued to anyone using Amazon Fire Sticks for free TV
Warning issued to anyone using Amazon Fire Sticks for free TV Criminals have found a way to take advantage of people using Amazon Fire Sticks Fire TV Stick (Image: Amazon ) Criminals are exploiting illicit live sports streams, accessed through devices such as Amazon's £25 Fire Stick, to steal credit card information and infect devices with malware. According to a recent report by Enders Analysis, pirated video content serves as a facade for criminal activities, with the firm criticising big tech for its inaction in addressing "industrial scale theft". The findings indicate that one in eight individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 engage in illicit streaming, labelling the fight against it a "formidable challenge". The report accuses major tech companies of displaying "a combination of ambivalence and inertia" by neglecting to bolster security measures while inadvertently directing consumers towards illicit services. It identifies three key factors that contribute to the proliferation of piracy. The first involves the "opportunistic" retransmission of live events via social media platforms. The second entails the use of streaming services to embed malware on viewers' devices. As stated in the report: "Pirated services are part of sustained efforts, mostly by organised crime, to gain access to consumer data and online identity, infect devices with malware and enrich their criminal enterprises.", reports the Mirror. The third factor is the provision of paid pirate TV services through devices like the Fire Stick, which "masquerade as legitimate operators". It is estimated that approximately 17 million individuals in Europe utilise pirated TV services, with annual losses ranging between £900 million and £21 billion. A single pirated stream of a prominent football match can attract tens of thousands of viewers. The report labels Amazon's Fire TV Stick as a "piracy enabler". The gadget, designed to connect to a television and provide access to a plethora of legitimate services, is also being exploited for the illegal streaming of major events. Enders' research indicates that users don't have to delve into the internet's underbelly, as these services are "openly marketed and promoted". Article continues below Amazon has responded by implementing updates to its Fire TV system to make it more challenging to access pirated streams and cautions customers about the dangers of "sideloaded apps". A spokesperson from Amazon said: "We remain vigilant in our efforts to combat piracy and protect customers from the risks associated with pirated content, which includes prohibiting apps that infringe upon the rights of third parties in our Appstore, and warning customers of the risks associated with installing or using apps from unknown sources." Nick Herm, Sky Group COO, commented on the gravity of the situation. He said: "It's a serious issue for anyone who invests in creating and delivering world-class content. We'd like to see faster, more joined-up action from major tech platforms and government."

Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers
The move could even be a boost for 'flying taxis' of the future CHANGE IN THE AIR Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PASSENGERS could enjoy quicker journeys and fewer delays under the first shake-up of flight paths in 70 years. Ministers have ordered an overhaul of UK airspace to create more direct routes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The review could also let planes climb into the sky quicker to reduce the noise for communities below. In the long-term, the government says the redesign would even create the necessary airspace for the 'flying taxis' of the future to operate. Britain's flightpaths have not been changed since the 1950s when there were just 200,000 flights per year, compared with 2.7million in 2024. It has resulted in flight congestion that often forces planes to circle overhead before landing, causing frustration to passengers as well as more emissions. A new UK Airspace Design Service will be up and running by the end of the year, and will first focus on re-carving London's flightpaths in anticipation of a third Heathrow runway. Transport Minister Mike Kane said: 'Redesigned 'skyways' will turbocharge growth in the aviation industry. "Not least by boosting airport expansion plans and supporting job creation, driving millions into the UK economy as part of the Plan for Change. 'Modernising our airspace is also one of the simplest ways to help reduce pollution from flying and will set the industry up for a long-term sustainable future.' Tim Alderslade of Airlines UK added: 'Modernising UK airspace is long overdue. "These changes will help to speed up a programme that will provide tangible reforms, from a reduction in delays, improved resilience and lower carbon emissions.' Travelers have only days before May 23 'flight switch' rule ends – you face long delays if you don't act immediately

Pubs and restaurants are ‘under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss
Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive LAST ORDERS Pubs and restaurants are 'under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PUBS and restaurants are being driven into the ground by Labour's tax hikes - with a THIRD now operating at a loss. A damning industry survey reveals the number of boozers at risk of closure has increased 11 per cent in the last three months. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive. The average price of a pint has already soared to £5.17 in Britain, and The Sun's Save Our Sups campaign is calling for more support for the countries' embattled locals. In a rare joint intervention, four trade bodies have come together today to warn hospitality is 'under threat' due to April's National Insurance rises and Business Rates whack. They are demanding urgent relief for the pub and restaurant sector which they claim was saddled with £3.4billion extra costs. As well as a third of bosses disclosing they are in the red, their survey also revealed six in 10 have been forced to cut staff to save money. Sounding the alarm are UK Hospitality, the British Beer and Pub Association, the British Institute of Innkeeping and Hospitality Ulster. They said: 'Hospitality is vital to the UK economy but is under threat from ongoing costs rises, which the April increases have only exacerbated. 'Jobs are being lost, livelihoods under threat, communities set to lose precious assets, and consumers are experiencing price rises when wallets are already feeling the pinch.' Meanwhile, a separate report showed private sector activity is at its weakest since 2022. The Confederation of British Industry also blamed Rachel Reeves' £25billion NICs hikes for hurting businesses. Locals Heartbroken as Auchenmalg's Only Pub, The Cock Inn, Closes Down
