Don’t Miss Out on Amazon and Ring Smart Home Devices as Low as $12 at Woot’s Lingering July 4th Sale [CNET]

View Article on CNET

Want your home to be more secure and some convenience in your everyday life? Amazon has a smart home device that can help you out, without breaking the bank. And right now, you can get your hands on those Amazon smart devices for even less. Now through July 15 only, Woot has a selection of new and refurbished Amazon smart devices and Ring security equipment on sale, with prices starting at just $12.
Woot typically has a limited supply available, so we’d recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings — products are already starting to sell out. This sale ends on July 15 at 12 a.m. CT (1 a.m. ET on July 16).

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is a top pick at just $20 in this sale. It’s one of our favorite cheap video doorbells, usually priced at $50, and offers all the basics like a 1080p HD camera, live streaming, night vision, two-way talk and motion alerts. 

Those are just a few examples from the sale, but it’s well worth taking a look at the entire selection with many other Ring alarm and video doorbell products in the mix, plus Amazon’s own smart thermostat. Of course, the privacy concerns around Ring should be noted for anyone considering what cameras to put around their home. You can enable end-to-end encryption on Ring’s products, which can help alleviate those concerns for privacy-minded folks, but it’s not the default setting and breaks certain features.

As a reminder, Woot’s certified refurbished items mean they are refurbished, tested, and certified to look and work like new. They include the same limited warranty as a new device.
