Why we love this deal

It can be incredibly reassuring to know your home is safe and secure while you're traveling for the holidays, or even while you're at home. For added peace of mind, we'd recommend an outdoor security camera, and Cyber Monday is a great time to shop for one. 

Right now, the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus is 40% off at Amazon for Cyber Monday. That takes the price from $150 to just $90 for a high-tech, yet easy-to-use outdoor camera that will give you that added sense of security at home. Over 10,000 of these have been purchased in the past month, so don't wait to grab one (or a couple) for your outdoor space. This deal won't be around much longer, so make sure you order yours now before Cyber Monday is over.

Why do shoppers love it?

The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus comes in black or white, so you can choose the color that will look best mounted outside your home. It is available in a few power options, with the battery-operated and plug-in versions included in the 40% off deal for just $90. You can also get one that comes with an extra battery for $115, a solar-powered model for $140, or hard-wired for $150. For some of the power options, you can also opt to buy it in a pack of two, three, or four cameras instead of just a single, if you know you'll want to set up multiple cameras to cover all the angles and doors. 

It has a 1080p clear picture, color night vision, and a two-way speaker. It also has some more unique features, including two motion-activated LED spotlights and a built-in siren to scare off unwanted visitors or pests. One reviewer said they use the siren to keep woodpeckers away since they ruin the siding on their house. 

Setup is simple. Ring says it takes just 5 to 10 minutes before you're ready to go. Just mount it on a flat surface, insert the battery, then use the Ring app to finish setting it up and to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi. You can also set up customizable motion zones to get alerts when there's movement in specific areas. Since the Ring is an Amazon device, you can also seamlessly connect it to your Echo Show to use voice commands to control the camera.

"Easy to mount, the sound quality is excellent," said one reviewer. "I wanted to get one with batteries so I didn’t have to worry about dealing with electrical things. The batteries actually last much longer than I anticipated. The video quality is excellent, and the motion-detecting light is an awesome feature."

The motion detection is fast and accurate, and the two-way audio works perfectly for communicating with anyone outside. I also love how easy it is to check live footage and get alerts right from the app."
