FAO deal seekers: If you missed this deal when it was first available, the Ring Stick Up Cam is back at a record-low price on Amazon. The camera is available for $55, which is $45 off its $100 list price. The device’s price has dropped to this price several times in recent months, including ahead of the October edition of Prime Day.
The camera’s name has nothing to do with old-fashioned stealth. Instead, the “Stick Up” part refers to the fact that you can place the camera just about anywhere. This is a model with a rechargeable battery, so you won’t have to worry about figuring out how to connect it to a power outlet.
You can keep an eye on the live 1080p camera feed using the Ring app or a compatible Echo device like the Echo Show. Two-way communication is also available through these.
You’ll get real-time notifications when the Stick Up Cam detects movement. There’s an option to set privacy zones for which the camera won’t record or enable motion detection. In addition, it also has a night vision mode. To store footage in the cloud, you’ll need to subscribe to the Ring Protect plan. It costs between $5 and $20 per month.
The latest Ring Battery Doorbell is also on sale. This model just launched in August, but it’s already dropped from $100 to a record low of $60. Amazon says battery life is improved by 23 percent this time around compared to the previous version. It has a pin-push mount that makes installation easier, while there’s support for the head-to-toe HD video mode seen on other Ring cameras.
