Save 37% on easy to install Ring Outdoor Camera duo that 'gives peace of mind'
The Ring Outdoor Camera Battery is a wireless alternative to CCTV
If you're looking for a reliable, wireless alternative to a traditional CCTV system, the Ring Outdoor Camera might be worth considering. With features designed to enhance home security without the hassle of hardwiring, it's become a popular pick for those wanting flexible and simple surveillance.
The bundle of two cameras is available now on Amazon for £99.99, down from £159.98, a 37 percent discount. This HD camera supports 1080p video, two-way talk, WiFi, and works with Alexa.
The two camera bundle comes in a clean white finish and is packed with features, including HD video and night vision, so you can monitor outdoor spaces even in low light. Its adjustable motion detection and customisable zones help reduce unnecessary alerts, and thanks to its weather-resistant design, it can be mounted almost anywhere outside.
Ring says the setup is simple. 'Powered by a removable Quick Release Battery Pack,' the camera's battery can be recharged or swapped out with ease. You'll also get a 30-day free trial of Ring Home, which allows you to save recorded videos for up to 180 days and receive person alerts and more. Without the subscription, which starts from £4.99 a month, features like video storage are limited.
The product currently holds an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars from over 16,000 reviews, indicating it's a popular choice.
If you're weighing your options, there are some decent alternatives available.
The eufy Security SoloCam S340 is a solar-powered wireless camera with dual lenses, 3K resolution, and 360 degree surveillance. It's a pricier option at £124 (RRP £179), but it doesn't require a subscription and has a 4.4-star rating from 2,024 reviews.
For a more budget-friendly choice, the TP-Link Tapo C310 offers 3MP resolution and wired installation for just £29.99. It has earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from 616 reviews.
But if it's the Ring cameras you're after, you're not alone, it continues to earn praise from users, with many calling it a solid choice for home security.
One user wrote: "Good cameras that work well. Easy to install. Wide angle for large viewing area. Gives peace of mind… batteries last a reasonable time."
However, not everyone was impressed. One reviewer said: 'To use this without a subscription makes it pretty useless… Do not waste your money.'
Another user shared: 'Fab little outdoor camera, ideal for keeping an eye on your puppy/kids in the garden… excellent video quality also works in low light in the night.'

Ninja 'non-stick' pan drops to £19 in Amazon sale as shoppers buy more in the range
'This is the first pan I've had in my 20 years of adult life that's actually non-stick and needs no oil.' While many people enjoy the art of cooking and making delicious meals, not so many of us enjoy the clean up afterwards - especially if stubborn excess food is stuck to our cooking appliances and refuses to come off. In order to reduce this issue, many brands have come out with non-stick products to make your cooking experience more enjoyable. One such brand is Ninja. Mostly known for their high-tech Air Fryers, the brand also sells a whole host of kitchen essentials. One of which is the ZEROSTICK Essentials Cookware 20cm Frying Pan. Normally retailing for £30, Amazon has slashed the must-have kitchen appliance down to £18.49 in a limited time deal. Made from long-lasting forced aluminium, the Ninja ZEROSTICK Frying Pans are designed to be up to 20 times tougher than traditional non-stick pans, reports Birmingham Live. Compatible with ceramic and induction hobs, the pans are also said to be oven safe up to 260 degrees. Perfect for frying crispy bacon, sizzling steaks, pancakes, eggs and much more, this pan allows users to cook with little to no oil. Without compromising on cooking performance, food can easily slide out of the pan without sticking. Equipped with stainless steel handles, the Ninja frying pan is also said to be metal utensil safe, dishwasher safe and scratch resistant. For those in need of some new cookware, the Ninja collection may be a good range to consider. Alternatively, Amazon is also selling the Tefal Titanium Essential Frying Pan for £19. With a size of 20cm, this frying pan is designed to be compatible with all hobs and is equipped with Tefal's Thermo-Signal technology which indicates the ideal time to start cooking. Over on Argos, the Tower Smart Start Classic 28cm Aluminium Frying Pan is retailing for the slightly cheaper price of £15. With a built-in temperature sensor that "lets you cook like a pro", the Smart Start tick will change to dark red to let users know when it is time to start cooking. Back to the Ninja non-stick frying pan, it currently has a 4.6 star rating from over 2,300 Amazon shoppers. On top of this, over 900 people have bought the frying pan in the last 30 days, with some coming back and saying that it "works perfectly". One happy shopper said: "I spent more than I usually do on this pan, and honestly, it's well worth it. The construction is solid and weighty, the non stick is great and the heat retention is the best I have come across. Things keep cooking ( and staying warm ) long after I have switched off the hob. A great purchase." Another added: "I'm always a bit sceptical of extensively hyped products, but this pan really is good: substantial with a securely fitted handle. Six months on, the non-stick is excellent and it actually is possible to cook with a minimum of oil without anything sticking. We've gone on to buy three more items in the same range." However, one shopper wasn't happy with the size of the pan, writing: "It was not the size I was expecting. The actual frying area is only 15cm diameter, my last "20cm" fry pan had an 18cm diameter frying area - quite a difference. I am not sure I want to keep it so I haven't tried it out." Another shopper also grumbled: "Good quality frying pan with excellent non stick characteristic that matches manufacturers description. However, only works on my induction hob small rings and not the large ones, hence, me giving it four stars and not five." Despite this, a five-star reviewer added: "Use this everyday nearly. Fantastic little pan, great for making omelettes. Non-stick so easy to clean, and made from quality materials, so it's very sturdy." A sixth customer also wrote: "Often pan adverts show you cooking fried eggs, without needing any oil - they're all rubbish! This is the first pan I've had in my 20 years of adult life that's actually non-stick and needs no oil. "I love we can use it on the hob and put straight into the oven. I love that. After six months of being in the dishwasher most days, it still works perfectly." For those who want to buy the Ninja ZEROSTICK Essentials Cookware 20cm Frying Pan, click HERE.

Three Amazon Fire TV gadgets to lose access to Netflix FOREVER in three days – final warning to upgrade
that were also roughly a decade old Last year, the Netflix app vanished from dozens of Sony and Apple TV models that were also roughly a decade old BURNT OUT Three Amazon Fire TV gadgets to lose access to Netflix FOREVER in three days – final warning to upgrade NETFLIX is pulling its app from three Amazon Fire TV gadgets next week - so your subscription might be worthless unless you upgrade your tech. From 3 June, two Fire Sticks and a Fire TV box will lose Netflix forever. Advertisement 2 First-generation Fire TV Stick Credit: Amazon 2 First-generation Fire TV box Credit: Amazon The shutdown affects the first-generation Fire TV box, Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV Stick with Alexa voice remote - Amazon's oldest telly products. They are all more than a decade old. Even Amazon quit support for the devices several years ago - meaning they no longer receive software or security updates. But if you still use your OG Fire Stick, you should have received an email from Netflix warning of the upcoming change, according to PC World. Advertisement The first-generation Fire TV devices will continue to work as they have done - simply without Netflix. They have all the other apps, such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, Prime Video and Disney+ - for now. It's worth noting that like Netflix, other platforms may too decide to pull their services from ageing tech later down the line. Affected viewers who want to continue having uninterrupted access to Netflix will have to buy a newer Fire TV gadget - or a telly streaming rival like a Roku Stick or Google Streamer. Advertisement If you don't want to upgrade to a new Fire TV device, you should cancel your subscription, to avoid paying fees on something you can't watch. Legal ways to slash your Roku and Amazon Fire Stick TV bills by 100% – and Netflix 'plan swap' saves you money The streaming giant hasn't said exactly why it's pulling support for older gadgets. Last year, the Netflix app vanished from dozens of Sony and Apple TV models that were also roughly a decade old. A report from CordBusters noted that the decision was likely put down to newer video standards. Advertisement When streaming services start using newer technology, older devices may not have the necessary hardware or software to support the advancements. That's why some gadgets stop receiving new features, or are unable to stream in 4K picture quality. It's worth noting that while older devices don't necessarily need new features or better picture - security updates are always helpful. Security updates patch any bugs that can be exploited by cybercriminals, or fix glitches that can hinder your use of the device. Advertisement
