Ring Video Doorbell vs. Nest Hello: Which Cyber Monday deal is better?

By

Safeguarding your package from porch thieves can be a full-time job on its own, but you don’t need to constantly peek through the blinds to check for yourself thanks to today’s video doorbells. Two of the best options come to us courtesy of Ring and Google. The Ring Video Doorbell 2 and Nest Hello Doorbell ultimately helps homeowners to see who’s at their front door at any given time, giving them peace of mind that their packages won’t be poached.

Cyber Monday is here, and you may be tinkering the idea of upgrading your old doorbell for either of these hi-tech models. We’ve been scouring the web for the best deals related to the latest models of each video doorbell, but don’t count out some of the older models because there are some serious discounts on them as well.

The best Ring Video Doorbell deals

  • Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Echo Show 5 — $139 ($150 off)
  • Ring Video Doorbell Pro and an Echo Show 5 — $179 ($160 off)
  • Ring Video Doorbell and Echo Dot — $80 ($70 off)

The best Google Nest Doorbell deals

  • Google Nest Hello Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell — $150 ($80 off)
  • Nest Hello Smart with Security Cam Bundle — $519 ($137 off)

Why you should buy one of these

When it comes to video quality and features, it’s the Google Nest Doorbell that’s superior. Crisp and sharp video, combined with smart functions such as person alerts, package tracking, and HDR makes the Nest Hello an outstanding package! Sure, you can pick it up at the discounted price of $150 by itself, but there are few bundle deals that are available for it. Google’s products don’t typically get discounted heavily as much, but you won’t be disappointed by its exceptional performance.

Meanwhile, there are several Cyber Monday deals going on right now for Ring’s Video Doorbell. Out of the bunch, the best one is the Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Echo Show 5 bundle at $139. Not only is the price cheaper than just the sole Cyber Monday deal for the Google Nest Hello, but you’re also getting the Echo Show 5 — allowing users to leverage Alexa in answering the doorbell and showing them who’s at their front door through the Echo Show 5. Besides answering doorbell rings, the Echo Show 5 is a smart display that’s good at controlling other gadgets in the home with Alexa’s help, while playing some tunes like any other smart speaker. Without question, this is the best deal, so don’t wait too long to snag it!

Anyone shopping for a DIY home security system has probably stumbled upon Ring. The company has an ever-growing lineup of cameras and video doorbells that are consistently ranked among the best available -- and since they're easy to set up and offer tons of functionality, it's no surprise they're so popular.

One thing to keep in mind when looking at Ring products is that you'll be on the hook for more than just the sticker price. Ring offers a monthly subscription service known as Ring Protect. Many of the best features for its cameras and video doorbells are locked behind this subscription plan, meaning owners who don't sign up will be missing out on important functionality.

Ring is one of many companies that lock video doorbell features behind a monthly paywall. Unless you're forking out cash every month, you won't have full access to everything your device can offer. The brand also recently instituted a price hike -- and some shoppers are so frustrated that they've started looking elsewhere for their security needs.

If that's you, or if you'd like to find an easy way to cut down your spending this year, here's a look at four Ring alternatives that don't require a subscription. Some of these may offer optional subscriptions, but even if you don't pay, you'll have access to a wide range of features that aren't free on Ring.
