Ring’s latest wireless doorbell is designed to make your peephole smarter

Ring’s latest doorbell (the fifth in its ever-expanding lineup) is a nifty piece of kit designer to turn your boring old peephole into a smart wire-free doorbell that doubles as an intelligent security device. The Ring Door View Cam (£179) available today, essentially replaces your door viewer with a compact 1080p HD camera that allows you to see, hear, and speak to visitors from anywhere (whether you’re home or away). It also comes with a slew of other impressive features like adjustable motion detection, Alexa compatibility, privacy zones, and an impact sensor that lets you know when people have knocked – even if they don’t ring the doorbell itself.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
