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.'
