But stock appears to be dwindling fast so you'll have to check your local store for one. The model up for sale is the Ring 2nd Gen Wireless Indoor Smart camera in white which usually costs £49. It offers all the features Ring users love, such as the ability to watch live and remotely talk back to people - or pets. If you have a Ring subscription it'll record videos and store them in the cloud for you too just like the doorbell device. As the name states, this is the indoor version of the Ring camera, meaning it doesn't have suitable waterproofing to be used outside. However, they are popular for directing outside from a window, or monitoring pets when you're not home. It also has a 140 degree viewing angle and 9m night vision range. There's a privacy cover too so users can physically stop it from recording videos.

Ring is giving away FREE outdoor cameras worth £80 – and it only takes 30 seconds to apply
Don't miss important tips to help the cause at the bottom DING DONG Ring is giving away FREE outdoor cameras worth £80 – and it only takes 30 seconds to apply RING is giving away free video cameras to selected Brits as part of a special initiative. The Ring Outdoor Camera Battery is a stick up cam device that would normally set you back £79.99. 2 Ring wants to support birdwatching across the UK Credit: Ring 2 Bird species like Greenfinch have experienced declines in recent years Credit: Ring / RSPB But Gen Z and Millennials can apply to get one totally free in an effort to encourage help with an important conservation effort. The Amazon-owned firm is mostly associated with home security. But it turns out hundreds of Ring users are using their cameras to monitor garden wildlife too. In a fresh twist, Ring has teamed up with RSPB to support remote birdwatching in the UK. Data from the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch survey shows that Starling numbers have dropped to their lowest recorded levels, while Song Thrush and Greenfinch populations have also experienced significant declines over the past 40 years. "The decline of key British bird species like the Starling and Greenfinch highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts across the UK," said Emma Marsh, the RSPB's director of digital technology and communications. "Remote birdwatching plays a crucial role in raising awareness and connecting people to nature, and every sighting contributes to our understanding and protection of these vital species." A study suggests a growing interest in birds among younger generations, with a quarter (24 per cent) of under-35s planning to begin birdwatching. So, Ring is giving away 50 video cameras to those aged between 18 and 35 years-old. All you have to do is fill out a quick form and give a short 50 word reason why you want to birdwatch. Ring introduces new doorbell security features Those who have a Ring Home subscription and manage to capture footage of priority species - including Starlings, Song Thrushes, or Greenfinches - are encouraged to share their footage with the RSPB. "Ring is best known for keeping neighbourhoods safer, but we're always impressed by how our devices can capture remarkable wildlife footage," said Dave Ward, Managing Director EU & International at Ring. "We hope that collaborating with the RSPB will raise important awareness of declining bird species, while encouraging customers of all ages to enjoy the benefits of connecting with nature from wherever they are."
