It’s a little too late to spook trick-or-treaters with ghastly remote greetings, but there are plenty of other reasons to consider installing a video doorbell. For starters, it’s incredibly affordable and easy to do so when you have devices like the new Ring Battery Doorbell sharply discounted. It’s down to $59.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target right now, matching its all-time low.
We haven’t tested the 2024 Ring Battery Doorbell yet, but it borrows a couple of nice features from the Battery Doorbell Plus, which is also on sale for a record low $99.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and our top pick for battery-powered doorbells. The not-so-plus model still features a 1080p camera, but now with a 1:1 aspect ratio and a 150-degree field-of-view that gives you more vertical visibility. That’s key for package detection — which will help in the coming holiday shopping season — but also nice for greater coverage to view small children or even spot the little critters who like gnawing on your doorstep florals.
It also has the same PIR motion detection sensor as the Plus, as well as color night vision. Unfortunately, you still can’t cold-swap its battery like you can on the more expensive model, but it’s said to last 23 percent longer than the last generation doorbell with an easier push-pin dismounting mechanism if you use the standard mount.
A few more Halloween treats
Now through November 1st, you can get the Anker Prime 250W, 27,650mAh power bank for $99.99 ($80 off) at Woot, which is the lowest price to date. That may still seem like a lot for a portable battery, but it’s also one of the fastest and largest capacities you’ll find for something of its size. It has two USB-C ports, each capable of up to 140W, plus a USB-A port. It also has a display that shows granular detail about the battery’s charging and capacity statuses, though you can also view those details in Anker’s app.
If you need a reliable and fun duo of input peripherals for your PC, I can vouch for Logitech’s premium gamer-centric combo. The full-sized metal-built Logitech G915 mechanical keyboard with Tactile switches is matching its all-time low of $159.99 ($90 off) at Amazon, while the G502 Lightspeed wireless mouse is also down to $87.99 ($62 off) at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. These are the older versions that use micro-USB (unlike the newer and pricier G502 X and G915 X with USB-C), but both are satisfying to use, pretty to look at, and feature an embarrassment of configurable buttons and settings, including Lightsync RGB lighting that can change dynamically depending on the games or apps you’re using. I’ve used the pair for years and it hasn’t failed me yet.
You can get a four-pack of Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 Bluetooth trackers for $61.77 (about $38 off) at Amazon, which is an all-time low price. That price practically gives you two free trackers, as they start at $30 for a single unit. The most basic functionality works with most Galaxy smartphones, allowing you to view the last known location on a map and play sounds to locate it. You can also get pinpoint compass directions if you have a Samsung phone with ultra wideband radios — which you’ll find inside the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, S21 Plus and Ultra or newer, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or newer. You can attach them to keyrings or hide them in personal effects like bags and wallets.
