Amazon cuts prices by 30% for Ring Alarm Systems with a free Echo Dot

Amazon continues to add compelling discounts, deals, and bundles to its large selection of

. Home security is a top priority for many smart home setups, and Amazon discounted Ring Alarm systems by 30% and added an Echo Dot at no additional cost. With these deals, you can choose from five different Ring Alarm configurations, all priced under $250, and set up a Dot to manage the system with Alexa voice controls.

Every Ring Alarm System kit includes a base station with a 104-decibel siren, one or more keypads, at least one contact sensor for windows or doors, a motion detector, and a Wi-Fi range extender to be sure your home wireless signal reaches all alarm system components. The base station, keypad, and range extender plug into AC power, but the sensors and motion detectors are battery-powered, so installation is simple. You can monitor and control the alarm system remotely with the free Ring app and locally via your Alexa-compatible Echo Dot smart speaker.

The history of the Amazon Echo

It hasn’t even been a decade since the first Amazon Echo was released, but this Alexa-powered smart speaker line has become popular in homes around the world. As Amazon continues to refine and refocus the Echo, we’re taking a look at the history of the device and how things have changed over the years. Let’s take a trip back in time to see how this smart device has evolved.
The standard Amazon Echo

This Echo is the standard smart speaker first released by Amazon, the flagship model that would define all others and introduce Alexa to the world. It’s also the model that has gone through the most changes.

Everything announced at Amazon’s 2022 Fall Event: new Echos, Fire TVs, Kindle Scribe, and more
Amazon Astro in a build with Ring Virtual Security Guard on its screen.

Amazon announced everything from new Echos, to security cameras, to Fire TVs, and more at its September 28 devices and services event. The new hardware underscores a commitment to what the company dubs "ambient intelligence:" every interaction should be intuitive, proactive, and personalized to help you enjoy the here and now. What's the secret sauce that lets Amazon deliver these contextual experiences? Sensors. Many of the products announced today come with sensors designed to help monitor and enhance a person's environment and experience. Of course, you can adjust the settings to still keep your data private.

Most of the products will be available later this year, with others (ahem, Astro) coming one day. We've rounded up everything Amazon announced today.

Which Amazon Echo should you buy on Prime Day 2022? 
Echo Show 15 with base.

There was a time when it was easy to choose which Amazon Echo device to buy because there wasn’t much of a selection. These days, Amazon has an entire stable of devices ready to respond and carry out your commands. That makes things a bit trickier for those who are looking to pick up their first (or add another) Echo device among Prime Day Amazon Echo deals. You can also review some of the best deals year round.

We’ve tested and tried each Echo device to find the best of the lot. This year, we think it’s the Echo Show 10. With its high-quality 360-degree speaker, a large screen, and the ability to pan around the room to double as a security camera or video conferencing dynamo, it’s a great all-around choice. Even so, depending on how you want to use an Echo Show and how much space you have, there’s certainly a case to be made for other Echo devices.
