Black Friday has officially begun and the deals are hot, particularly for Amazon’s Ring home security products. From video doorbells to lights and even home security kits, you can save hundreds of dollars while making your home more secure.
Some of these deals went live before today (Walmart’s latest big sale kicked off Nov. 25 and Best Buy launched its big sale on Nov. 22), but Amazon was saving some of its biggest price drops for this weekend.
Below are the best deals we’ve found, but before we jump into them, there are some things to note:
- Many of these deals are a return to Prime Day lows, but there are some new additions.
- It’s not impossible for there to be additional bundle and add-on deals, but we don’t expect these prices to go any lower between now and the end of the year.
- Some of these items are already back-ordered for two to three weeks, and those ship times will likely get longer. However, Amazon devices rarely go “out of stock” — the shipping dates will just keep getting pushed further back in most cases.
Don’t see anything you want here? Don’t worry. More Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are coming.

The Ring offers live 1080p video, motion alerts and two-way voice communication and a feature called Pre-Roll (when someone or something trips the motion sensor, you can see what happened before that). This deal saves nearly 50% off the regular $250 retail price and throws in an Echo Show 5 ($90 list price) to boot.
Note, the Ring Pro doesn’t have a rechargeable battery. If you can’t connect it to the existing doorbell wires at your front door, this isn’t the video doorbell for you.

The Ring Peephole Cam is perfect for apartment dwellers or people without hardwired doorbells. It’s super easy to install, and $70 is a super welcoming price. If you’re interested in video doorbells in general, this is a great place to start.

Ring Alarm is a modular-style home security kit, and you can get various arrangements of the kit for great discounts. The five-piece with a free Echo Dot is the best deal, though, at 50% off the list price. You can also get the 14-piece set for an impressive $200.
Amazon notes that stock is running low, and it looks like this deal will be delivered in December if you order now.

Ring’s Floodlight Cam usually sells for $250, so finding the camera for under $200 — let alone with a free Echo Show 5 smart display thrown in — is a pleasant surprise. This package is perfect for jumpstarting your outdoor security system, whether to keep your house safe from burglars or just to spy on the raccoons who keep getting into your garbage.
Like the five-piece alarm deal above, Amazon notes that stock is running low, and it looks like this deal will be delivered in December if you order now.
